Remember that Sprint leaked document we showed you yesterday? Well it looks like someone from AT&T decided to match Sprint’s leaking process and has therefore revealed some interesting handsets which are in the pre-launch phase. Among those we couldn’t help but notice the BlackBerry 9700, the HTC Tilt 2 and the Tilt 2 without a camera, that elusive Garmin Nuvifone G60, the HTC Pure aka Snap and plenty of others. Samsung phones, Pantech and Nokia phones are also coming soon, so if you’re rooting for AT&T then sit nicely and wait. Some amazing phones are heading your way.

It’s not going to be the first event streamed to the iPhone but it’s still worth mentioning. British techno duo Underworld is the band in question and its concert from Oakland California was streamed straight to those interested iPhones out there. This was probably the first live event streamed to the iPhone and the technology employed was the iPhone OS 3.0’s HTTP streaming and the Quicktime player. Have you virtually attended the concert? How was your streaming experience? Did AT&T live up to the expectations?

A new HTC phone will be launched by AT&T at some point in the future. The HTC Fiesta has been discovered earlier this year in that leaked HTC roadmap and confirmed later by that Bluetooth SIG. Now we found out what’s the carrier that’s going to launch it. Although we have no idea when AT&T is going to announce the Fiesta, you should be thrilled that AT&T is finally bringing Android phones to its customers. Anyone ready to start leaking pictures and specs of the Fiesta?

Apple is at it once again, but this time they have done something that is sure to get the entire internet mad at them: censoring words found in a dictionary app that was submitted for sale on the App Store.

The app in question was developed by Matchstick Software and is an iPhone version of the online dictionary NinjaWorls that currently sells for $2 on the App Store. That’s fine, but the fact that Apple decided to delete words from said app that they deemed “objectionable” even after they gave it a 17+ rating, is not fine.

DaringFireball makes a good point about the whole situation, Apple censored words from a dictionary app that are “used every day in elementary school libraries and classrooms”. What’s next, Apple? Our freedom?

Netflix has been growing steadily so it’s actually no surprise to see this video-on-demand provider interested in the iPhone and iPod touch. Apple’s gadgets are becoming more and more popular and since they come with multimedia features, why shouldn’t Netflix make its Watch Instantly service to them too?

There’s no official news yet but we hear Netflix is indeed working on an application for the App Store. Users will be able to Watch Instantly movies from their queue as long as they are in the vicinity of a WiFi network. Needless to say that streaming videos through a 3G network will not be allowed. But will Apple really let iPhone users enjoy Netflix? Or will we see the application banned from the App Store soon?

Remember those weird Palm Pre commercials? Well it looks like a lot of people didn’t like them that much. And all this hasn’t escaped Gary Koepke, the co-founder of Modernist, the ad agency behind the ads. Here’s what he said about the Palm Pre campaign:

We weren’t trying to creep people out, but one thing I have learned now in this digital age is people can be as rude as they want as long as they don’t have to look you in the face. The Pre is probably being talked about more than other phones right now because of the marketing and advertising, and that’s a good thing. Could the ads work harder to show exactly how the phone works? Yes, but we knew it would be polarizing people to have a woman not shout at them and tell an interesting story.

It’s a very different look and feel for this sector. There’s nobody involved in an iPhone ad, and ‘Your life is on BlackBerry’ — isn’t that great? Instead of having a life? We wanted a middle ground between those two places — what about the people who want a really great smartphone?

Let’s say we understand! We still like better other commercials. And the customers like them a lot more too. AT&T and Apple has sold over 5 million iPhones in the last quarter while RIM is selling lots of BlackBerry phones too. How many Pre units has Palm and Sprint sold so far? Did the commercials help increase that number? We can’t say since we don’t have any of those official numbers!

In the past there have been several offerings for those who want to use their iPhone to charge one of their customers credit card but they require you to punch in the card’s entire number.

A recently announced project codenamed Square is looking to remedy that as it will make use of a magentic-strip reader that plugs into the iPhone’s headphone port. All users of the app need to do is swipe the card, punch in the amount and have the customer sign right on the phone. After the transaction is complete it is geotagged and a receipt is sent via email.

There’s no word on when exactly this will hit the market but when it does it is sure to be very valuable to those who do selling on the go.

Verizon has apparently decided to drop most smartphone prices down to only $99 when customers choose a new two-year agreement thus matching that AT&T $99 iPhone pricing. That means phones like the HTC Touch Pro, the BlackBerry Storm and many others will now be available for $99 with new contracts. The BlackBerry Tour and the Samsung Saga will still cost more than $99 and the upcoming Touch Pro2 and Storm 2 are definitely going to be a little more expensive too when Verizon will officially launch them. What $99 smartphone are you going to choose?

Sure some people would love running BlackBerry’s OS on Nokia’s E71x but that’s simply not going to happen anytime soon. But then again you might spot the E71x in an AT&T ad, like the one above, running BlackBerry OS. The ad has been seen in a local AT&T store and it looks like those people doing all the photoshopping for AT&T don’t exactly care much about mobile operating systems.

The day is finally here, Apple has officially announced that iPhone OS 3.0.1 is ready for download. There isn’t much to go along with this update other than the fact that it fixes an SMS exploit that could have potentially given hackers control of your phones.

Anyways, to pick up version 3.0.1 just sync your handset with iTunes and update it like you normally would.

HTC’s Touch Diamond2 has been announced for Europe and Malaysia with no word on a North American release.

Well, just like they have done with the Motorola Morrison, the FCC has given us a peak at the HTC Touch Diamond2 for North American release, reportedly codenamed “Warhawk”. As for a carrier, we’ll likely see this one pop up at AT&T at some point the future.

In terms of a price or date, the documents give us no word, but if previous reports are to be believed the device will be priced upwards of $550 before subsidies.

We’ve seen leaked photos and specs and even saw it appear on Samsung’s official website, but what we haven’t had is official confirmation from AT&T that the Samsung Solstice was in fact coming.

Today, AT&T and Samsung have come forth to let us know that their low cost Solstice touchscreen is, in fact, hitting North American shelves on August 2nd. Official specs include a TouchWiz UI, Facebook, Myspace and other social networking software preinstalled. In terms of hardware, we’re looking at a 2MP camera and a microSD slot with 16GB of expandable storage.

The price stays the same as previously though at $99 with a 2-year contract.

It’s no secret that Apple and jailbreaking aren’t the best of friends, but this latest claim is a real hit below the belt.

According to Wired, Apple was quoted to have said that if the number of jailbroken phones increases it could lead to “potentially catasrophic” cyberattacks from such users. They even went on to say that all of these attacks could lead to a cell tower being rendered completely inoperable by jailbroken iPhone users.

This comes as news right after the Copyright Office had been considering legalizing the jailbreaking of phones. Come on Apple, play nice.

Yesterday, we were greeted with the report that Apple had rejected the official Google Voice app from the App Store. This decision effectively left iPhone users looking to utilize the Google Voice service in the dark. Today, we are greeted with a ray of hope, if you’re willing to jailbreak your iPhone, that is.

It seems that the maker of the original unofficial Google Voice app that was pulled from the App Store decided to port the application over to Cydia making it available to those with a jailbroken handset. Below is a list of features included in the GV Mobile app:

• dial numbers via the iPhone address book or typing on the keypad
• Full SMS support (view historic, reply, send new)
• retrieve and delete recent call history
• playback and delete voicemails
• take calls from different phones other than your iPhone
• enable or disable the phones that Google Voice forwards calls to
• add or delete phones that Google Voice forwards call to.

As of right now the app is completely free but the creator is accepting so if you’re in a good mood and use GV Mobile, send a few dollars his way.

Yesterday we were informed that the Samsung Solstice A887 was probably on its way to AT&T next month with a price of $99.

Well today the phone was spotted in a banner on Samsung’s AT&T handset directory page, as you can see above.

While it still doesnt’ give us official word on a price or release date I think it is now safe to say that this phone will, in fact, be hitting AT&T at some point in the near future.

If you’re a Rogers Wireless subscriber then you should know that the carrier is getting ready to launch its impressive 21Mbps HSPA+ network. Rogers will increase download speeds starting this August in the Greater Toronto Area. Other cities in Canada will see similar speed bumps “quickly over the coming months.” While Canadians will enjoy this significant speed increase from 7.2Mbps to 21Mpbs, AT&T customers will have to wait some more until LTE will be available since AT&T will not be launching a HSPA+ network. So, Rogers customers, let us know how the upgrade is working out for you!

Sure, Barnes & Noble may not have a deal with Sprint that allows their eBook reader to access the internet anywhere, a la the Kindle, but they have the next best thing. Reports are coming out that Barnes & Noble has signed a deal with AT&T that will allow customers to access free WiFi in store across the nation.

This is apparantly to give customers the access to Barnes & Nobles eBook store which currently has +700,000 titles. Below is a quote from CEO of Barnes & Noble, Steve Riggio, regarding the matter:

Barnes & Noble pioneered the concept of retail stores as community centers. By providing no-fee Wi-Fi access, we are not only meeting our customers’ needs, but extending the sense of community that has always been in our stores. This is a natural progression of our digital strategy to provide customers with more choices in how, when and where they want to read.

Now let’s just see what that Plastic Logic/Barnes & Noble eBook reader looks like.

Earlier this month Apple let developers get a glimpse of iPhone OS 3.1 with beta 2. Today, however, they have released the followup, beta 3.

There’s really not much to go along with this announcement so if you’re an iPhone developer, head here to grab both the OS and the SDK.
