Today at&t and Pantec announced the C630, the fourth Pantec phone released for at&t wireless this quarter. I have laterally had the C630 handset fr about 6 hours now and it is like any other Pantec phone, affordable and feature rich and although it has a low price tag but it has a high quality build.

The C630 will retail for $39.99 with a two year contract, it features turn by turn GPS navigation with at&t navigator, bluetooth, 1.3 mega pixels camera, a microSD slot so you can listen to your MP3 on it (headphones sold separately), and video sharing capabilities and works on at&t’s 3G network.

Like I alredy said I have been using the phone for 6 hours and it’s amazing. The phone is one of the smallest I have ever used but the keyboard is large. Normally when you have a small phone the keyboard is also tiny and you often fumble over keys and impress the wrong ones. Not the case with the C630.

The phone is also very snappy, it boots u fast and loads the pre-installed programs like the at&t navigator pretty quickly. The phone also has a little joystick that makes it really easy to navigate the menus, although I wish it stuck out a bit more.

Call quality on the phone is superb, maybe it’s the 3G network but I don’t remember a call on at&t sounding so good, and the speaker phone also has really good quality. Even when listening to music the sound quality from the phone was good.

Browsing the web wasn’t as fun as I had hoped but that had more to do with the screen size than the phones performance. I use a smart phone with a big ol screen so I am kind of use to browsing the web with a bigger screen than the C630 has to offer. But other than that browsing the web was flawless and the at&t 3G network is fast provided you can get a 3G signal.

The phone also has a 1.3 Mega Pixel camera, and the picture quality is decent not the greatest but for a phone it’s decent for taking a quick snap shot and send it to your friends.

My only gripe with the phone is you need headphones with a special connector to listen to music (unless you don’t mind the people around you listening to your music while you walk down the street).

Overall the Phone is great and it is available now from AT&T and it would make a perfect gift for the holidays!  For more info visit http://wireless.att.com
