Contents SEOUL, December 6, 2006: Pantech Co., Ltd., Korea's leading mobile phone
manufacturer, has announced today the launch of its PG-6100 multimedia phone,
targeting the high-end mobile phone market in Argentina.

The new handset will be offered via CTI Movil, the Argentine affiliate of American
Movil, the largest mobile carrier in Latin America. The PG-6100 provides users with
an advanced combination of both camera and phone technology, while also offering
a trendy and stylish design.

"Since Pantech entered into Argentine mobile phone market at the end of last year,
we have been rapidly growing up. We are now making another move to diversify our
product portfolio across all price segments and tap into the high-end handset market
of the region with our PG-6100."

"Argentina is fully part of our tremendous efforts to further expand our market share in
Latin America. The launch of this new product will help us move closer to achieving
our goal of increasing our presence in the region and to position ourselves as a true
leading mobile handset manufacturer,", said Mr. Kim.

The PG-6100, the intenna clamshell phone, features a 2 mega pixel camera with
smooth 4x digital zoom and a 1.9 inch 260,000 color TFT display as well as a 260,000
color OLED sub-display. It also provides Bluetooth functionality, a speakerphone,
and an FM radio.

The new phone also provides a large 256MB internal memory, and 64 polyphonic
