Pantech C610 Flame Red

The catalog of entry phones from AT&T is without a doubt long, and the Pantech c610 which comes in flame red is one of the more welcome additions. The phone is ergonomically pleasing with a bold flame red color that is quick to stand out. It comes in a flap design which upon unfolding, reveals a well crafted hardware key set. The c610 has all your basic messaging and call features. A 1.3MP camera with a flash is onboard and it can be used for video calls via AT&T’s video share feature. The phone also has 3G support which is a boost for the data transfer speeds when browsing the internet.

The phone has a decent set of multimedia capabilities. Memory is expandable up to 4GB which should give you sufficient space for your favorite music collection. You can access AT&T’s streaming music service and download all your favorite releases. There’s Bluetooth for all your wireless data transfers as well. The entry level phone has GPS thanks to support of AT&T Navigator service. You can easily access your emails or chat with your friends as the three common IM clients are supported.

Bottom Line: For an entry level phone, the Flame Red Pantech c610 is far from just basic. Starting right at the 3G support down to the GPS, the performance aspect of the phone cannot be understated. Quoted at 3 hours of talk time, and 10 days of standby time, the c610 is a superb performer at a superb price even under contract.
