The new Pantech C3b continues Pantech's tiny folder-style handset range, kicked off with the C300 and reaffirmed with the C3, by adding Bluetooth to the mix. Being shown off at CTIA 2007 in Orlando this week, the Pantech C3b is the world's smallest camera flip phone.

Apart from the addition of Bluetooth, specifications of the C3b are the same as the C3, but that does not make the device any less enticing. Despite its diminutive size of just 69mm x 43mm x 20.3mm (2.72" x 1.69" x 0.80"), the tri-band handset supports SMS, MMS, and email messaging and a VGA resolution camera. While the main display only measures up at 1.52", large and clear fonts aid visibility of data. Changeable faceplates are available, with Cingular shipping a dark blue color with the handset and stocking many other colors as optional accessories in its retail locations.

The Pantech C3b is due for release in Spring 2007 with Cingular/AT&T Wireless, though specific pricing details have not yet been announced. You can see more live, hands on photos of the Pantech C3b from CTIA Wireless on the following page.
