Pantech's latest creation for UTStarcom has just reared its head on the FCC website. Pantech has dubbed this QWERTY-toting handset the Pantech Elvis, but the FCC label in the diagram clearly shows that it's the UTStarcom TXT8010.
The UTStarcom TXT8010 is a dual-band (850/1900Mhz) CDMA handset with text messaging as its main draw. It's a rare vertical slider with a QWERTY keyboard underneath the wide-load display. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard should make easy work of any text input, and the 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Brew, and microSD card slot should appease the more technically demanding masses.
The design of this vertical slider is attractive, if a bit fat. It'll be interesting to see how well this handset fares in a market full of QWERTY-keyboard mobile phones. But, on the up-side, the UTStarcom TXT8010 looks like a diminutive cellphone in the closed position - that could be enough to give it a leg up on the competition.

泛泰-UT斯达康TXT8010手机现身FCC（美联邦通信委员会）
泛泰公司为 UT斯达康设计的最新创作草图现身于FCC的网站上。泛泰采用了小巧的QWERTY全键盘设计的Elvis手机，而在图标的FCC标签上清楚表明是UT斯达康的新款TXT8010。
UT斯达康TXT8010是一款双频（850/1900Mhz）CDMA手机，并带有文本短信发送的主画面。 它是一款很稀有的垂直式滑盖手机，在它的宽阔显示屏下配有标准的传统键盘。滑出QWERTY键盘，让任何文本文字的输入很容易做到，同时带有130万像素的摄像头，蓝牙功能，神奇宝典，和支持microSD第三方存储卡的扩展功能。
垂直式滑盖的设计，显得有些厚重，这非常具有吸引力。令人感兴趣的是这款手机在整个标准全键盘的手机市场中的价格也是很平易近人。但是，另一方面讲，TXT8010 这款UT斯达康的手机当它在合盖后看起来如一个小型的手机，这或许也能让它在竞争中更有优势。
