The Feds are being unfairly stingy with the details on this one, but we'll say this much: when we see a UMTS 850 / 1900 radio getting put through its paces, we know it's pretty much gotta mean Cingular. Pantech is calling this thing the C600, but other than a boring posterior shot and the presence of the aforementioned 3G bands, we know depressingly little. From what we're seeing here, this could be a candybar, slider, or swivel, so if there's any definitively good news here, it's that Cingular's likely going to be adding an understocked form factor to its 3G ranks. Stay tuned, friends.
Update: Sadly, it turns out the C600 is a clamshell after all -- we missed a couple shots of the culprit buried in the always fascinating SAR (specifically absorbed radiation) report. Follow the break for the evidence! [Thanks,
Eric]

The battery in that phone is either going to be so small it's pathetic (if it covers the SIM) or hueg liek Xbox (if it goes where the model # is shown).
I actually hope it's the latter and it's somewhat efficient - more battery life on 3g phones is a good thing.

Looking at the batter contacts i am going to say it will be a pretty large battery that will fit over the ID label. That is not to say its not just an incredibly large incredibly weak battery however. That would be about on par for pantech.

Hey Pantech, Samsung just called, they said they want their design back.

^^^Hahahaha "they want their design back" haha...so true... Anyways...what's the deal with "sadly it's a clamshell" I happen to think clamshells are the best so why don't you stfu. Candybars are horrible (generally speaking)

this is so plain, boring, and definately ripped off from samsungs designs.
