Pantech & Curitel has been approved to supply new handsets directly to Verizon Wireless beginning next quarter. Pantech & Curitel is Korea's second largest handset manufacturer.

Pantech is reportedly seeking distribution deals with Virgin Mobile, Alltel and Metro PCS as well, and is already providing test units to Sprint.

That's your opinion, and I'm not saying it's wrong or that I disagree, but carriers definitely seem to disagree.

Pantech & Curitel seems to generally strike a good balance of features and price lately, with quality that at least meets the st...
