Pantech C3 Miniature Cell Phone from Cingular
In a world of really small technology, the Pantech C3 is the smallest flip phone camera. I realize that sounds like a really exciting movie preview, but this actually contains a grain of truth. It appears that Pantech has finally did it and invented the C3, the smallest flip phone/camera on the market, available from Cingular.
The phone measures at 2.72 x 1.69 inches, and it is one of the thinnest at 0.8 inches thick. I'm not really certain if something like that is big enough to fit between my mouth and ear, but if those Bluetooth earpieces can pick it up, why not this? Looks like it also features e-mail and instant messaging as well as the phone and camera modes, but who knows how it fits in such a small package? Looks like there's a little musical note there as well, so does it play MP3s? At this rate, nothing surprises me with cell phone technology anymore.
I found some information on other sites about the features, and listed them below. It also comes with removable faceplates, and I'm told that with all the rebates, you should be able to pick it up for about 40 bucks.
Pantech C3 features include:
-- Changeable faceplates in multiple colors
-- Mobile Email services are supported for Yahoo! Mail, AOL and MSN Hotmail
-- VGA camera with flash and 4x digital zoom in LCD mode
-- Multimedia Messaging Services allows users to send pictures, sounds and text with interactive messaging
-- Downloadable music ringtones (MP3, MIDI & i-Melody)
-- Downloadable wallpapers and screensavers
-- High-speed data transmission via GPRS
-- Picture and ringtone caller ID
-- Predictive text input
-- Calendar and reminders
