Pantech C150 and LG Trax now on AT&T
As expected, AT&T has officially added a couple to its stable -- one on the midrange and one at the very bottom. The LG Trax -- once known as the CU575 -- has gotten plenty of press recently as the anticipated replacement for the CU500, offering stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, HSDPA, and a cool external touch strip for music control. The Pantech C150, meanwhile, looks like a great candybar for the price (free, that is) considering that it still manages to rock a VGA cam and Bluetooth support, and we're digging the pure white. Grab both now for $130 and $0 on contract, respectively.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]Read - Pantech C150Read - LG Trax
Okwap C150 introduced and handled
Looks like Okwap's got a new thing going with the stylish C150, which dons a stealthy black outfit and utilizes red lights beneath its surface to showcase the control pad. Reportedly, this mobile sports dual SIM card slots for all the GSM fun you can handle, comes in at 15.8-millimeters thick and weighs 91 grams, features a 2.2-inch 220 x 176 resolution display, and also gets a ho hum two-megapixel camera. Furthermore, you'll be looking at a 2.5-millimeter headphone jack, 117MB of built-in memory, and a complete lack of short-range wireless capabilities or flash expansion options. Still, Okwap must be mighty proud of its new handset to charge CNY2,799 ($366) for it, but feel free to click on through for more hands-on pics and judge the value for yourself.[Via JustAMP]
FCC sees Pantech C150 for AT&T (we think)
Pantech seems to be getting awfully buddy-buddy with the US' largest GSM carrier as of late -- or at least that's what the FCC would have us believe, spilling the proverbial beans recently on the 3G C600 and the C510 with that new-skool AT&T branding atop its shell. Believe it or not, it seems the partnership is going to run a little deeper still; this here "C150" just showed up on our FCC radar, and thanks to the FCC's interest and the letter "C" in the name, we suspect this one will also be heading over to Cingular / AT&T. The low model number suggests that this will be a cheap or free entry in AT&T's lineup, which is corrobrated by the fact that the handset rocks just three bands of GSM coverage (850 and 1900 both included) and precisely zero bands of WCDMA. Is Pantech sneaking up on LG's market share here or what?
Teclast's other "dual core" DAP, the T19
We see a lot of digital audio players pass through here, but Teclast is one of the first manufacturers we've seen to incorporate a separate processor for audio decoding. Just weeks after we spotted their first so-called "dual core" DAP, the C150, comes another PDA-esque model called the T19, which has the same dedicated Wolfson WM8750 decoding chip as the "C" but adds a 1GB option into the mix. Besides MP3 playback, the "T" features MPEG-1 video support, and sports extras such as an FM tuner, line-in recording and voice recording, along with an eBook reader, dictionary, and calendar. Probably only available in China for the time being, the T19 costs 77 or 90 dollars worth of yuan for the 512MB and 1GB versions, respectively.[Thanks, lionc]
