Pantech C600 entry-level 3G handset approved by FCC
AT&T's entry-level lineup will now include a new Pantech handset based on Pantech's CTIA coverage from this morning -- just as we were expecting. The Pantech C600 which we peeped in early February hopefully will be joining the LG CU400 in AT&T's entry-level 3G collection for those that want EDGE and dual-band WCDMA technology but who want to save a wallop of cash in the process. While AT&T sure hasn't brought UMTS or HSDPA to it's entire handset portfolio yet, at least the entry-level lineup is covered. The bare-bones specs for the Pantech C600 include a VGA cam, Bluetooth 1.2 and a microSD card slot. That VGA digicam alone makes us feel nostalgic about the Cingular lineup circa 2004. We fully expect to see the C600 to eventually drop for $0 to $50 with that spiffy new two-year contract as soon as AT&T gets it out the door. Until then, head to the FCC and take a gander on all the just-released images from today if you're curious and just can't wait to have that new Pantech 3G clamshell in your craving hands.
