Will we get a Yahoophone? Well no, it was cancelled by Bartz, the new Yahoo CEO. It looks like her daughter preferred a different phone and she wasn’t impressed with the prototype her mom has given her. The Yahoophone was supposed to come filled with Yahoo services which can be totally useless if you don’t use any of them.

Motorola and AT&T were on board too and they must be pretty pissed off right now. A top Yahoo mobile executive is said to have left the company while others have been fired.

Is this a good move for Yahoo? Is this a good move for Bartz? Time will tell, but a Motorola Yahoophone wasn’t really necessary, was it?

Looking for a new phone? Is it an LG? Is it a slider? I hope you answered yes to all those questions as I have a new LG for you. Well actually, AT&T is going to have a new LG slider for you. It’s the CF360 phone is arriving at AT&T in the following days. It’s an entry-level phone which lacks any impressive features. You should expect a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, music player, GPS with AT&T Navigator but that’s about it. It should be cheap too, especially if you get it with a contract, so go stalk some AT&T store for more info about actual arrival date.

Did you think that AT&T was simply going to stand by and watch every other carrier launch their femtocell hardware? Well of course not! AT&T has a 3G MicroCell device which might actually get launched sooner or later. That’s right folks, we have no arrival dates and pricing for this one, but AT&T seems ready to start selling it. The device comes from Cisco and it will get you 5,000 square miles of coverage and it will allow up to four simultaneous voice data connections. The only downside is that this device will work with 3G phones. But you were probably going to get a 3G device too, right. It looks like AT&T has the edge over its competition as Sprint and Samsung only offer 2G coverage.

The picture above is a screenshot from a Bold which has a Visual Voicemail icon on the homescreen. The person using it says it won’t work yet as every time it’s being launched an error pops out. That particular Bold was sold by AT&T and it’s running on OS version 4.6.0.219. What do you think? Is your AT&T Bold doing the same to you? Does it have that Visual Voicemail on that homescreen? Does it work?

We’ve talked about iPhone tethering for so many times so far that it should only be fair for AT&T and Apple to officially settle the deal so far. We’ve seen both legal and illegal tethering version so we should only be waiting for the officially official version.

Is Tuesday’s Macworld keynote going to reveal an AT&T iPhone tethering plan? The plan has been rumored cost $30 per month for 5GB. Sounds familiar? Well that’s what AT&T BlackBerry users are paying so far. Will we be disappointed this Tuesday or will we be excited? We’ll answer that question soon.

We have some disturbing news coming from AT&T at this start of the year. Well not exactly news yet but rumors. People say that the company has been reallocating its EDGE service to the 1900MHz weaker band. That means worse coverage for you. This move is supposed to increase their 3G strength. While we can appreciate AT&T’s interest in improving their HSPA service, we are also aware that not all AT&T subscribers own 3G capable phones. Thus the disturbance in the force.

Will the AT&T EDGE support be discontinued before the 3G network becomes more stable or after?

The Samsung i8510 Innov8 might be closer to us than we think. The phone has just passed through the FCC and North American customers might see it arrive from AT&T and/or Rogers soon. The American model will come with dual 850/1900 3G support which means you will have great data support in case you want to mail lots of photos taken with that 8 megapixel camera. As always, we don’t have expected arrival dates or pricing just yet.

It’s not Wal-Mart who’s going to bring you a $99 8GB iPhone but it’s AT&T. And it’s not a 4GB version but an 8GB version that AT&T is going to sell for $99. How’s that possible you ask? Those 8GB iPhone 3G are refurbished ones. They will come with a 2-year contract and the $100 discount I’ve just told you about.

And in case your mind keeps wondering about refurbished 16GB iPhones then you’ll be happy to know AT&T will offer you the same $100 discount for them. A $16GB iPhone 3G with a 2-year contract will sell for $199. Just make sure you check the iPhone you’re going to choose! You wouldn’t want it damaged in any way!

Did you do any shopping today? Managed to snatch quite a few deals? Well this Sunday Wal-Mart will start selling the iPhone 3G in about 2,500 stores. The prices are no mystery anymore. You still need the AT&T agreement and an 8GB model will sell for $197 while a 16GB model will sell for $297.

Gary Severson, Wal-Mart senior vice president of entertainment said:

We are delighted to bring customers this ground-breaking mobile technology. Our electronics associates have been preparing for many weeks for the arrival of iPhone 3G.

How come Wal-Mart hasn’t offered more that just $2 off AT&T’s price? Anyone interested in answering that question?

You must remember how Vermont was the only state not able to enjoy the iPhone 3G. But that will change however as AT&T has purchased Unicel. Ten Unicel stores in Vermont will be fully converted to AT&T stores by February so you will be able to activate your AT&T iPhone 3G subscription.

On the other hand by February you will be able to run iPhone Dev Team’s yellowst0ne unlock software. That means Vermont doesn’t necessarily need AT&T to enjoy the iPhone 3G to the fullest. Anyone in Vermont getting this? What do you think about Unicel’s purchase by AT&T?

The Samsung M8800L will arrive to the USA and according to the FCC it will be ready to connect to that AT&T 3G network. That’s the Pixon phone right there, packing that 8 megapixel camera which we have talked about before.

Version L is similar to the European model but it has support for the 850 and 1900 MHz WCDMA bands. When will it arrive and how much will it cost? That’s still a mystery to be unraveled.

Pantech C630 is the new cellphone that will become available at AT&T on December 12th, in other words, tomorrow.

This is the third basic cellphone for today, because we’ve already mentioned the ZTE C78 and the Alcatel 206, but at least all of them have low prices, which in this case is $40 after signing a 2-year contract. In terms of specifications, the Pantech C630 has a microSD slot to expand its small internal memory, a 1.3-megapixel camera, bluetooth, 3G, and finally an unusual feature - GPS.

Did you also notice the empty LG Vu shelves? And was the answer ‘Don’t know’ when you asked the seller when will they get more? Well rejoice, LG Vu 920 is coming soon!

We’ve covered the LG Vu some time ago so I’m not going to let you in on all the technical details again. But since it is one of the cheapest touchscreen phones on the market, I thought of letting you know the new Wine colored version is going be out soon! The coolest thing about it, except for the large 3 inch touchscreen, the HSDPA support and the 2 megapixel camera is the extraordinary MediaFLO technology incorporated! Well I went all specs all over you didn’t I?

All those interested just go to AT&T and you will get it for about $100. When? The words “real soon” come to mind.

AT&T has a few campaigns running to increase the sale of cellphones, and now that Christmas is pretty close, the more they sell, the better.

One of those deals is a 2-for-1 offer, also known as buy 1 get 1 for free. The two handsets included in the deal are the following: Samsung Propel, and Pantech Matrix. Every good deal has a negative detail, and in this case it is translated to a mandatory 2-year contract, plus a $35 monthly package.

How does it work:

To take advantage of the offer, customers pay $129.99 for the first device and receive a $50 AT&T promotion card after mail-in rebate, bringing the total cost to $79.99(1). A two-year service agreement and up to a $35 monthly data or messaging package are required. To get one free, customers pay $49.99 and receive a $50 AT&T promotion card after mail-in rebate.

AT&T and OASIS have joined forces to create an event made specifically for seniors, with the purpose to show them how easy it is to use a cellphone. It will take place in November 21st, at the University Hospital in Dewitt.

At “Cell Phones for Seniors” there will be a few AT&T volunteers that will tutor the seniors in various aspects of a mobile phone, such as how to send a text message and checking the voice mail, or even more basic stuff such as controlling the volume or storing a number on the address book. It can be considered a basic task for some people, but it isn’t that simple for the elderly.

Since promotion of an AT&T service is expected, seniors will get to know HAC - Hearing Aid Compatible - options.

On October we mentioned the a867 Eternety from Samsung, that had a rumored price of $99, but the truth is that the mobile phone is a bit more expensive. With that being said, the Samsung SGH-a867 with contract + rebate costs $150. In terms of features, the cellphone has a full-face touchscreen which means there are no buttons. It also comes with a 3-megapixel camera, support for HSDPA, AT&T Navigator service, and the all usual features a top-notch handset can handle.
