Pantech chose CeBIT 2006 to show off their new Pantech G-3600V and G-6200 mobile phones. The Pantech G-3600V is a good looking mobile music phone, which plays MP3, WMA, AAC, and has assorted EQs and a 1.3 megapixel camera (which seems embarrassingly tame compared with Samsung’s monster!). Slightly better in the megapixellage front is the new Pantech G-6200, which has a 2.0 megapixel camera, and also comes complete with biometrics, ensuring only the rightful owner can use it.

Pantech also announced at CeBIT 2006 their plans for pushing into Europe, including opening offices in France, UK, and Germany. So yet more of those glorious Korean phones are heading Europe’s way.

Samsung have announced a 10 megapixel camera phone on the opening day of CeBIT 2006. Maybe I should say that again – a 10 megapixel camera phone! That’s more megapixellage than most digital SLR cameras. But that’s not all. Rather than just relying on the number of megapixels to wow the crowd, Samsung also provide this beast of a mobile phone with a 3x optical zoom (not digital, like most camera phones: optical, meaning it actually works without pixellating your image), flash and 1/2000th of a second shutter speed.

This may be a way of Samsung laughing in the face of Sony’s recently announced 3.2 megapixel CyberShot camera phone. Whatever, if mobile TV is meant to be the mobile gadget extra of the year, no-one told the camera phone makers!

More details on Giga-Byte’s CeBIT mobile phones after the jump.

Pantech have released pictures of seven new prototype concept phones that show where the company’s mobile phone design is heading. Pantech aren’t that well known outside their native Korea yet, but they’re planning on making a big push this year into overseas territories. Better still, the company makes some technologically-superb mobile phones, featuring such wonders as 5+ megapixel cameraphones, mobile TV, and wacky Optimus Prime-like transformer phones.

See pictures of the new Pantech Prototype Concept Phones after the jump. There’s even a new Galvatron phone!
