Pantech C610 shows up on AT&T

Pantech still seems committed to occupying the lower end of AT&T's spectrum (Duo notably excepted) with its latest, the just-launched C610 flip. We first saw this puppy in the FCC back in May, and it looks like not much has changed since then with a red shell, metal accents, and a 3G radio that turns out to support HSDPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. You've also got a 1.3-megapixel cam, Video Share support, Bluetooth (version 1.2 -- lame), and GPS, so we guess you're getting your money's worth -- more or less -- for the $49.99 on contract that AT&T's charging.

It's an entry level phone. Why Bluetooth 1.2 so "lame"? At this point anyone who gets this phone is shying away from anything that isn't cheap or simple.

No need for BT 2.0 with this device.
