22 Oct 08 The Bold Receives Technical Acceptance; To Arrive on November 4th
The BlackBerry Bold has received Technical Acceptance from AT&T. That means that AT&T should be ready to sell the Bold as soon as possible. As soon as possible means about two weeks from getting the acceptance which is usual procedure. That means a Bold release could arrive on November 4th. Rumors say the date is accurate, although we did announce you before that October 27th was supposed the Bold day. The rumored price for now is $300. With a contract I would suppose. We’ll tell you more when the time is right.

22 Oct 08 AT&T Sold 2.4 Million iPhones in Third Quarter
AT&T sold quite a lot of iPhones this last quarter. With 2.4 million iPhones sold, AT&T has managed to sell almost a third of the 6.9 million handsets that Apple reported to have sold.
That means the carrier saw profits rise 5.5% to $3.23 billion or 55 cents a share, compared to one year ago when AT&T pulled in $3.06 billion, or 50 cents a share. AT&T finished the quarter with 74.9 million subscribers with 2 million of those new subscribers. 40% of the 2.4 million iPhone 3G subscribers are new subscribers.
And iPhone subscribers are bringing in lots of money. Average monthly revenues per subscriber or ARPUs are 1.6 times higher for iPhone subscribers than the the other subscribers. AT&T saw its wireless data revenues increase with 50.5% compared to last year for a total of $2.7 billion.
So given that you have lots of money and lots of iPhone sales, when are you going to sell the Bold already?

18 Oct 08 AT&T Announces New Division: AT&T Emerging Devices
AT&T has announced that it has a new division ready. The AT&T Emerging Devices lead by Glenn Lurie, the former president of National Distribution for AT&T Mobility, will introduce wireless capabilities into various devices besides handsets. Good! My coffee mug needs wireless pronto!
The commander-in-chief Lurie is the guy that got the iPhone from Apple. So I guess he knows what he’s doing when he’s looking for new devices to introduce to AT&T’s subscribers.

15 Oct 08 Nokia N79 Approved by the FCC
Look what the FCC dragged in. It’s Nokia’s N79. The phone is expected on non-US markets to hit by the end of the year and it’s rumored to cost around $520. The phone might arrive in AT&T stores in the same time but there’s no official announcement to point to that.
The N79 will have 850/1900 UMTS support, a 5 megapixel Zeiss camera with sliding lens cover, dual LED flash, VGA video recording, TV-out, S60 Feature Pack 2 and probably more. I’d be curios to see how much will AT&T charge for it, but I guess that’s the subject for another story!

14 Oct 08 AT&T launches Sony Ericsson W760a Phone – $130
It seems like AT&T is on a roll this week, so on top of the recently launched Pantech Matrix and Samsung Propel there is a new SonyEricsson cellphone on their catalog, more specifically the W760a. According to the AT&T website, the device costs $120 after discounts which can’t be considered a bad price.
Interesting features on the W760a? How about integrated GPS with WayFinder Navigator? Or what do you think of the mobile email support with services such as AOL, Yahoo, AIM, Windows Live? Not good enough? Maybe the 3.2-megapixel camera is the extra you really need?
There are still more goodies on the Walkman phone, like ShakeControl that lets you shake the cellphone to skip tracks, and a nice screen that measures 2.2-inches

14 Oct 08 AT&T finally launches Pantech Matrix for $80
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.

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.
