Cingular, Pantech update C300 with C3
Just a few short months after rolling out the silly-small C300 from Pantech, the diminutive flip phone is getting an update (sort of) and a new name to mark the occasion: C3. The re-upped model looks like a C300, walks like a C300, and quacks like a C300, but it's not quite a C300 -- the C3 adds interchangeable face plates for when the stock silver gets a little long in the tooth. Look for the C3 now on Cingular for $40 after rebates; for the record, that's $40 more than the C300 will run ya.[Thanks, Jonathan]
Pantech C300 drops on Cingular, sort of
Cingular customers can now run out and grab the freakishly small Pantech C300 clamshell (which reminds us vaguely of Zoolander), but there's a catch: you have to be on GoPhone, Cingular's prepaid service. That's alright, postpaid customers aren't missing much -- other than the unusual size (2.72 x 1.69 x 0.76 inches closed), the C300 doesn't have much going for it. Tri-band 850/900/1900, VGA camera, and an MP3 player round out the feature set. Available now for $119.99.
