Pantech Updates World's Smallest Flip-Phone
Okay all you iPod Shuffle-owning, size-one-wearing, espresso-sipping, Mini Cooper-driving enthusiasts of all things tiny: The latest update of the world's smallest camera flip-phone, the Pantech C3b, is now available for your fast little fingers to dance all over.
What's new in the C3b? Mainly Bluetooth-capability (last year's debut C300 model didn't have it), so you'll be able to answer the phone with a wireless headset and talk, even though the key-fob-sized handset itself will probably be lost somewhere in your bag (it's that small). In addition to Bluetooth, the Pantech C3b features easy access to e-mail and instant messaging, offers a bunch of changeable faceplates (blue, lime, silver, orange, among other colors), and can take multi-capture camera shots (up to nine pictures with one button press)
As with the C300, the C3b phone weighs a mere 2.5 ounces and measures 2.72 x 1.69 x 0.76 inches -- sorry fellas, this one is strictly for the ladies and the pre-teens, if only for the fact that your ape-like fingers won't be able to properly handle the tiny keys.
It's available on AT&T/Cingular as of right...now.
