It’s probably too late for RIM to launch these white smartphones right here. Instead of the Bold and the Curve 8520 you could very well choose a Bold 2 or a Storm 2. However the white versions will be also available at some point in the very near future. The white Bold 9000 will be available from AT&T starting October 18 while the white Curve 8520 should already be available in T-Mobile stores.

There are no prices available for the white Bold but the white Curve will cost $129.99 after a $170 instant discount and with a new contract. Anyone excited about this angelic BlackBerry smartphones?

The next Bold version, also known as the BlackBerry 9700 Onyx is apparently coming from two U.S. carriers this month. Both T-Mobile and AT&T will launch the Bold 2 on, or around October 21. The phone will be available in the following weeks although there are no details regarding prices from neither AT&T nor T-Mobile. The Bold has been, and still is, one of the most popular phones launched by RIM so far which means that we’re probably going to love the Bold 2 as well. What’s the next phone that you’re most likely to buy? The Bold 2 or the Storm 2?

It was recently announced that AT&T will now allow mobile applications to make VoIP calls using nothing more than the device’s 3G connection.

You should make note that prior to this announcement mobile applications, such as Skype for the iPhone, were only able to make VoIP calls using WiFi, but not anymore.

Following this announcement you can expect a whole influx of apps in the App Store, and other app stores, that allow for VoIP calling.

AT&T has added two new cellphones made by Samsung to their already big catalogue. These devices can’t be considered top-notch per se, but they are pretty good taking in consideration the price.

The Samsung Mythic is priced at $200 after rebate, and will only become available to the public next month, on November. It has a TouchWiz style, a 3.3-inch display screen, and is compatible with the AT&T Navigator service.

As for the Samsung Flight, it will also become available in November, but it is a bit cheaper at $100. It has a touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard.

Both models will feature the Opera Mini browser.

About a month ago we told you that the HTC Tilt 2 would be made available for AT&T on October 6th. Well, it seems that BGR dug up some dirt on the phone and have found out that it will in fact be shipping on October 8th.

So, those of you who are looking to access that newly launched Windows 6.5 Marketplace you now have another option to choose from. Of course you’re going to have to wait until Q3 when AT&T pushes out that free Windows Mobile 6.1 - 6.5 update.

As you already know, the HTC Pure has been available in AT&T stores since yesterday while the Tilt 2 will only arrive in the following weeks. Don’t hurry to grab the Pure yet!

Vonage has just announced today that their mobile app for the iPhone and BlackBerry is now available for download.

This app will allow users to make international calls over both WiFi and AT&T’s cellular network. Of course, you’re going to be paying for both AT&T minutes and Vonage’s rates if you don’t use over WiFi but by year’s end Vonage hopes to give those who subscribe to their $25 a month World plan unlimited calling as opposed to the current pay-per-go model.

Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s App Store wasn’t schedule to go live until tomorrow October 6th but it seems that the guys over at Redmond have jumped the gun launching the Marketplace today, one day early.

Make note that the only phone currently available that is able to access the Marketplace is the HTC manufactured AT&T Pure which runs Windows Mobile 6.5. Everything else, you’re going to have to wait until the coming weeks where more Windows Mobile 6.5 powered phones are expected to be released.

What do you know folks, it looks like AT&T has quietly decided to start selling the Pure with a couple of days to go before Windows Mobile 6.5 goes official. In case you forgot the Pure is HTC’s Touch Diamond2, one of the first phones announced to run Microsoft’s latest mobile OS. Notice the date on the phone in the picture here and feel free to run to your closest AT&T store to get it. Of course, you could always reconsider and wait for a different Windows Mobile 6.5 to arrive. I hear there are 30 phones ready to run the OS by the end of the year?

You have been waiting so long folks for the actual iPhone 3.1 OS jailbreak to arrive and the iPhone Dev Team has delivered. Your iPhone 3GS is ready to be freed. All you need to do is get the Pwnage Tool 3.1.3 but only if the phone was jailbroken when running iPhone OS 3.0 or 3.0.1. That shouldn’t be a problem, should it?

Of course, we don’t recommend in any way that you jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone, or any other phone for that matter. It’s solely up to you to take such decision, and before you do, take a personal moment and consider what could happen if you messed up your phone. I bet the manufacturer and your carrier will not be happy to hear about your hacking activities. Those of you that still want to jailbreak, follow the link below at your own expense!

What you see above is a live shot of the Windows Mobile 6.5 powered HTC Pure destined for an AT&T launch. Don’t think you’ll be able to walk into your local store and purchase one as it hasn’t been confirmed that all stores have them in stock and it’s not even for sale yet.

Those of you who know the HTC Touch Diamond2 will be familiar with this phone as spec wise it is the same thing except for the fact that it features a different body design exclusive to AT&T.

Why exactly they would take a perfectly good design and make it uglier, I don’t know.

After whizzing through the FCC last July, it was only a matter of time before the NAM version of E71’s successor made an appearance stateside.  Amazon is now offering the Nokia E72 on a preorder and if you have been waiting for the device to pop up online, you can go ahead and order it for $469.  There is still no word on the actual release date or if there is a benevolent carrier ready to pick it up, but with triband 850/1900/2100MHz 3G network support, which is the frequency AT&T’s 3G operates at, we wouldn’t be surprised if AT&T announced the device in the coming days.  Other features of the E72 include a QWERTY keypad, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The Nokia 6350 which will be carried by AT&T this coming October 4 has been announced. The Nokia 6350 is a low-end phone that features a 2 megapixel camera, web browser, email capabilities and 3G connectivity. It is encased in a simple gray and red colored-theme which should be a prime target for the youth-oriented mobile phone addicts. It will retail for $29.99 after a mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract.

This is not the first time we’re showing you this cool hybrid phone capable of handling both cellular and satellite connectivity. We knew the TerreStar Genus was coming and it looks like AT&T is the chosen carrier. The phone has some interesting features like a 2.6-inch touchscreen display, full QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. In terms of connectivity the TereStar Genus can handle GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual 3G connectivity (UMTS/HSDPA) but also Terrestar’s 2.2GHz satellite connectivity. That means you’ll be able to make the switch to satellite whenever AT&T lets you down, and apparently that could happen in 30% of cases. In order for everything to work properly you’ll need to be prepared to get two different plans and not be surprised to see roaming charges add up. That’s right, when you’re going on satellite mode, you’ll be paying roaming charges! The phone will be available at the beginning of 2010 so there’s plenty of time to assess your need for a satellite phone in your life!

So how’s your iPhone working folks? Is AT&T still as crappy in your area as in the New York area? We don’t mean to be disrespectful but it looks like the average iPhone dropped calls is somewhere around 30% in New York. And that appears to be a genuine number provided by one of Apple’s own Geniuses. And said percentage seems to be fairly normal in Apple’s eyes. In fact it looks like people seem to think there’s something wrong with their iPhone when in fact the problem lies with AT&T. Go have your phone checked by the nice folks at the Genius Bar and you’ll find out exactly how many dropped calls you’ve had. Hopefully not more than 30% which is about 1 in 3 calls. What say you AT&T? Ready for to further upgrade the network?

Back in July it was announced that Barnes & Noble would be teaming up with AT&T to offer free WiFi access for all of their customers. Today, Borders has announced that they too will be offering free WiFi access as a recent partnership with Verizon.

The deal has just been sealed so reports say you can expect virtually all of the 500 nationwide Borders stores to have free WiFi access by the end of October.

AT&T likes to be considered a socially responsible company, and that is probably the reason why they are planning to launch a big campaign related to SMS texting and driving at the same time, which we all know is not good for your health and can be a disaster if you don’t pay attention. Anyhow, Randall Stephenson CEO of AT&T announced today what is the intended goal:

“Our goal is to send a simple, yet vital, message to all wireless users: don’t text and drive.”

The campaign will include some of the following topics:
- employee education, to prohibit the act of sending a text message while driving;
- defensive driving classes for employees that must do some driving while on the job;
- launching AT&T cellphones with a message like “don’t-text-and-drive”;
- public service announcements with famous people;
- online resources;
