AT&T to Offer No Contract iPhone

Apple iPhone 3G

Beginning March 26th, AT&T will be offering both the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 3G to customers with no contract. The no contract offer is limited to one phone per line and you have to already be an AT&T customer to be able to take advantage of this offer. If you ask me, I think it would be smarter for AT&T to make this available to everyone and maybe pick up some additional customers in the process. If they don't, at least they've made some money off of the phone on the front end. After all, with a no contract price of $599 for the 8GB and $699 for the 16GB, they aren't cheap.

Will they sell? With the economy in the state it is in these days, I'm tempted to think not. However, it is an iPhone…and the very first iPhone sold for $499 (4GB) and $599 (8GB), WITH a contract. So, who knows…we'll just have to wait and see.

Small Nokia 6650 has Features that Impress on AT&T Network

by jeff on Fri, 2008-11-14 00:37


Nokia 6650Nokia is always innovating its products. The brushed metal look of the 6650 conveys a sense of coolness that most consumers expect. Plastic just does not hold up well when phones are dropped, and metal takes a lickin’ and keeps on calling.

The Nokia 6650 has a 2.0MP camera, integrated Flash, and a 2.2” color display with QVGA (16 million) colors. It also has a dedicated key for AT&T Navigator, you can share your videos with AT&T Video Share, and listen to music with AT&T Mobile Music.

Form meets function with style in this Nokia 6650 package. I like the fact that you can access and use the camera and music playback features without even opening the phone itself. There is a 1.36-inch display on the outside of the phone to view music, see who's calling etc. The ability to download additional applications is great for those who want to personalize their handheld voice-device – because face it – this is not your Father’s phone.

The Nokia 6650 is now being sold from AT&T retail stores for $69.99 with a two-year contract. For more information read the press release.

Pantech and AT&T Debut World's Thinnest QWERTY Keyboard

by John Lentz Jr. on Thu, 2008-10-30 13:12


Pantech Slate When it comes to technology, there is no middle ground. Either our products need to be as large as imaginable (like TVs), or they need to be as small as possible to avoid cluttering spaces and weighing down pockets. Pantech and AT&T’s Slate phone is definitely in the latter category. This phone is less than a centimeter deep, yet still boasts a full QWERTY keyboard. To take advantage of its tactilely pleasant keyboard, the slate offers text message and email capability, as well as the ability to send pictures it takes with its built in 1.3 megapixel camera. You might expect this phone to be out of your price range, but Slate is only $49.99 after a two-year service agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate.

With the holiday approaching, the Slate might be a reasonable solution for that special someone who has never upgraded from more primitive models.
