In case you don’t remember, we talked about the Pantech Matrix at AT&T a couple of weeks ago back in Septemer, and the cellphone was officially launched today. It is already listed on the AT&T website with a price tag of $80 with rebate + service agreement, or $280 if you want a free phone.

Like previously mentioned, the Matrix cellphone has an interesting and unique detail - dual slide out keypads. It means there are 2 sliding keyboards, one is numeric while the other is QWERTY. In terms of multimedia, the Matrix can read MP3, MIDI, iMelody, MMF, WAV, SMAF, and AAC+ format files.

The battery on this Pantech cellphone can last 3 hours of talk time, which is below the average and should be improved in the next version. On stand-by mode it works up to 10 hours.

Samsung has announced the Propel cellphone that will go directly to the US by the “hands” of AT&T. The smartphone costs close to $80 with a 2-year agreement + rebate, and will become available to the public later this month.

The Propel is a “sliding” type of phone that hides a QWERTY keypad in the inside, making the writing tasks on instant messaging programs and email services much easier and faster. It supports 3G HSDPA network, and works with AT&T Mobile Music that provides songs to be purchased and downloaded.

Other features on the new Samsung cellphone include a 1.3-megapixel camera, bluetooth, MP3 player, microSD slot, and Video Share to make 2-way calls.

AT&T is ready to release the Quickfire sometime in November. The phone will cost $99.99 after a two-year agreement and some mail-in rebate. The main features of the phone are the 3G support and the full QWERTY keyboard which will let you unleash the hidden heavy SMS texter in you. AT&T Mobile Music is also going to be available with this Quickfire handset which means you can listen to some music while sending those emails away.

AT&T is ready to spread it’s U-verse to customers all around the States. The mobile carrier has signed agreements with Circuit City and Walmart which will help it sell the service in over 600 locations. AT&T seems ready to do what it takes to promote its video on demand service. Will people choose it instead regular cable or satellite services? Will they choose AT&T over Apple TV? That would be a fun fight to watch between the two partners in the iPhone business.

LG has recently announced the release of its three new mobile phones at AT&T. The first among the latest cell phones is LG Incite. It is a Windows Mobile smart device. It bears a resemblance with Vu.

Incite is especially developed for the US. This metal-clad phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. It equips a mirrored 400 x 240 touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and video recorder. It offers triband HSDPA, GPS support and WiFi radio.

The next model is LG CF750. It is said to be the US variant of the LG Secret. It has a resistive touch screen display and equips a 5.0 megapixel camera.

The last model in the latest offerings is the CF360. Well, there is no information of the price and availability yet. Keep guessing.

You might have seen it by now, but just in case you didn’t here’s the new AT&T commercial. Unlike Microsoft’s latest commercial, this one will actually get you some laughs. Like always AT&T claims to have a great coverage area so you’ll be able to make and receive calls no matter where you would are. So how about making a commercial speaking about AT&T’s 3G coverage and its various issues?

AT&T seems ready to launch a new device but it’s not the BlackBerry Bold. It’s the Quickfire, a slider phone made by UTStarcom for AT&T. From the pictures it looks pretty good and it will certainly make an impression with hardcore texters and not only.

The phone is going to be launched sometime later this month and it’s rumored to cost $99.99 if purchased with a two-year plan. We’re going to get you some features by the time it launches. For now we know it has a GPS chip and it comes in orange, silver and white

The LG Incite is said to be coming from AT&T sometime in the future. We don’t know exactly what the Incite will look like as we have only some rumored stuff about it. The phone will have Windows Mobile, a 240 x 400 touchscreen LCD, a 3 megapixel camera, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth support and more.

By more we mean we have absolutely no clue of what else the Incite will bring to the table. The device is expected to hit later this year so we’d expect some FCC shots soon.

Dare I say AT&T might be right when they say the Bold isn’t ready for the U.S. market? Hell no! I am sure they are delaying the launch for a certain fruity reason.

But according to a leaked memo, Orange has decided to temporarily pull the Bold off their shelves. It looks like there are some issues with the device. The whole crisis might be solved in a few weeks as RIM will provide solutions for the undisclosed issues.

What issues?

AT&T has a new Samsung cellphone codenamed SGH-a637, which is considered an entry-level in the phones world, and that is why it only costs $50 after the rebate and 2-year contract.

It features a 1.9-inch LCD screen in which you can watch the videos that were recorded with a 1.3-megapixel camera, and also use the AT&T Navigator service to have some GPS assistance. The internal memory has 51MB of capacity, and the extra slot to increase that space if for microSD memory cards.

Other basic fictions include bluetooth A2DP, POP3 for email, access to AT&T Video Share service to make video calls, and being a quad-band phone.

AT&T has added a new cellphone to their big catalog, sadly it isn’t a top notch phone and it doesn’t have an awesome design either.

The Samsung t109 is an entry-level cellphone in the flip mode category, measuring 3.5 x 1.8 x 0.8 inches and with an approximate weight of 85 grams. It features dual-band 850/1900 MHz GSM/EDGE, and a battery life of 4 hours in talk time, or up to 10 days in standby time.

Interestingly, the Samsung t109 is so cheap that is actually free after the discount and AT&T service agreement.

Key features of the basic phone include Instant messaging software more specifically Yahoo and AIM, a photo caller ID function so you can easily know who is calling, and a few games.

Is Apple taking over the mobile market in the USA? We’ve just seen yesterday how Apple has already managed to manufacture and ship 10 million handsets this year and by the end of 2008 the company should surpass it’s goal. And today we find out that the iPhone has reached the second place in US mobile sales.

AT&T has added another entry-level cellphone to their big catalog, the Pantech C610. In case you don’t remember, the cellphone was approved by FCC back in May this year.

The C610 flip phone will be available in one color - flame red - and cost approximately $50 with the AT&T contract + rebate. If you pick the non-traditional route of no contract, the price goes way up to $250.

As for the phone itself, it is pretty basic. The C610 sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, an old-school version of Bluetooth 1.2, and an expandable memory storage of 4GB when using a microSD memory card. The music player supports popular formats such as MP3, AAC, or WAV, and to make the multimedia experience more complete, there are music subscription services like Napster Mobile and eMusic.

We have some good news and some bad news for all Americans that plan to get a BlackBerry Bold. The bad news is that AT&T is delaying again the official launch. The good news is that you can get it from Canada, Chile and various countries from Europe.

Mike Lazaridis, who is only RIM’s CEO, said that AT&T is testing the Bold to ensure that it’s sub-par 3G network can support it. And it looks like Apple’s phone is to blame:

There’s great scrutiny, as you might know, on that network and a certain device. So I guess everyone wants to be sure on every last test.

AT&T said the Bold is coming this year. Whatever that means. My guess is that they haven’t even turn the Bold on yet.

Without so much as a public announcement or any kind of promotion, Motorola is sneaking its new clamshell, the V9x, into AT&T stores. Similar in most aspects to the already available Motorola V9, the V9x drops mahogany for brooding black and carries over the same flip phone form factor that Motorola seems so fixated on since the RAZR’s sucess. The only major addition to the spec sheet is the GPS receiver which, coupled with AT&T’s Navigator service, provides turn-by-turn navigation support. Other than that, the V9x has two displays (internal and external), HSDPA support, a meager 2-megapixel camera, and a microSD slot. There’s still no information on when or for how much this will become available, but we are guessing it’s going to come out pretty soon!

Although AT&T has a full HSPA network which was prepared in time for the launch of the iPhone 3G, that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be upgraded to 4G. AT&T seems not to be interested in 4G as it says it’s willing to wait at least two years, if not longer, until it would start deploying the next-generation network

Hank Kafk, AT&T’s vice-president of Architecture said at the 4G Executive Summit that AT&T’s current 3G network already offers more than Verizon EV-DO network. While waiting for future AT&T LTE network we might see an actual speed increase of the current 3G network. AT&T wants to offer subscribers a HSPA+ 3G network which will come with speeds of 20 Mbps sometime next year. Future 4G network might be postponed anywhere from 2 to 5 years.

But why talk about 4G networks when there aren’t any phones specifically created for them?

It’s been a while since we heard about the i907 and the last time we checked, it had just cleared the FCC and was biding its time to join the other QWERTY-equipped business phones on AT&T. Now, after almost three months of waiting, AT&T has confirmed that the Samsung i907, now called Epix, will be available on its network giving its customers one more choice from the Samsung camp other than the Blackjacks if they were looking for a QWERTY-boasting smartphone. Clearly based on the i780, Epix can do HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, a 3-megapixel cam, and memory expansion running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. $200 and a two-year lockdown is all that’s needed to make this baby yours.

It looks like we’re not going to see a BlackBerry Bold from AT&T soon. The Bold was supposed to be launched on October 2nd but due to OS-related problems AT&T might delay the launch. Device training was supposed to start on October 7th and since that has been postponed to a later date.

While there’s no official AT&T announcement regarding another Bold delay, we feel it’s coming. That’s even more surprising considering that usual AT&T testing and problem solving for a RIM device is about 2-3 weeks. What’s so special now? I really hope Verizon is going to get the iPhone too. Loosing that exclusivity deal might make AT&T see things from another perspective.
