Cingular updates C300 with Pantech C3 miniature cell phone

The Pantech C3 has just been added to Cingular Wireless, offering users “the world’s smallest camera flip phone.” As an update to the C300, the Pantech C3, it adds a few extra niceties that may be worth a gander.

It still has the same VGA camera and impossibly small form factor, but they’ve now included interchangeable faceplates (silver and blue come in the box), advanced email and instant messaging services. The footprint (2.72 x 1.69 inches) is among the tiniest in the business, and it’s not exactly fat either at 0.8-inches thick.

Go through the usual service plan and rebate hoops, and grab a Pantech C3 for 40 bucks.
