The Pantech C610 is AT&T’s latest low-cost clamshell, with 3G HSDPA, AGPS with support for AT&T Navigator, a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording functionality and A2DP stereo Bluetooth.  There’s also access to AT&T’s Mobile Music streaming and download service, AT&T streaming video content and AT&T Video Share.

Messengers.

The Pantech C610 measures 3.67 x 1.81 x 0.72 inches and weighs 3.25oz.  It’s external display is a compact 1-inch, 96 x 96 resolution 65K CSTN; inside, there’s a 2-inch, 176 x 220 resolution 260K TFT.  Talktime is rated at up to 3hrs, while standby is up to 10 days.

It’s available from AT&T now, priced from free to around $49 with a new two-year agreement.  MobileBurn have been taking a look at the C610, and while it’s not going to replace anything especially high-end, for the price there’s a lot on offer.  Image quality, despite the relatively low-resolution camera, is reasonable, while AGPS locks onto a fix quickly (making the sluggish AT&T Navigator app all the more frustrating).
