Pantech&Curitel developed a horizontal “Slab” type convergence mobile phone which is considered to be another revolutionary accomplishment beyond the clamshell or sliding types in mobile phone technology.

P1 is not a length-wise conventional bar-type phone. Rather, it is a level slab in shape looking like a digital camera with an antenna at the corner. Naturally, it is more convenient to carry around and to take pictures. Furthermore, the bigger screen(1.9") gives a more stable look than that of a conventional bar type. P1 is only 15.8mm-thick, which makes it one of the leanest mobile phones in Korea. Since P1 is not foldable like many camera phones, a "keylock" function protects you from accidental pushes or any exterior pressure on keypads. The unique design of P1 earned itself a recognition as a product of "GD(Good Design)" by Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy.
