Pantech delivers its smallest clamshell yet

Reuben Lee | Jun 12, 2006

The obsession with miniaturizing tech continues with Pantech launching what it claims is the world's smallest camera clamshell. First announced in April, the Pantech C300 is a featherweight 70.9g and petite 68 x 43 x 19mm when closed. It was recently introduced exclusively to Cingular customers in the US for US$119.99. Korean compatriot Samsung, meanwhile, claims the title for world's slimmest camera-phone with its SGH-X820.

There's, of course, a tradeoff with such diminutive dimensions. The C300 sports a VGA camera with 4x digital zoom and photolight, although Pantech has attempted to make up for the shortfall with a 1.5-inch 262K-color internal display. Also onboard are MP3 ringtones, instant messenging, email and photo caller ID. There are no indications on whether the phone will ever see light of day in Asia.
