Biometric mobile phone

pantech_gi100.jpgPantech GI100 is the first mobile phone with fingerprint recognition technology and 1.3 megapixel camera. It relies on biometric technology to send an authorization key when a registered fingerprint touches the phone. It can also be programmed to store a different key for each of your 10 fingers, thus allowing you to “Secret Finger Dial” 10 individual numbers depending on which finger you touch to the sensor.

The phone also keeps no log of any phone call made from a registered signature, making it very confidential. Games include car racing, slot machine and match making games, which are all operable by the finger sensor instead of the normal way of pushing keys.
