AT&T came right out and confessed that it would be ” the premiere carrier ” for Windows Phone 7 , and while it’s obviously far too early to say if that’ll be the case, this ain’t a bad way to start proving one’s point. Samsung’s Cetus (SGH-i917) was just recently confirmed to be one of the first commercial Windows Phone 7 devices last week, and now the always-disclosing FCC database has shed even more light on the phone’s intentions. Based on the mention of 850 / 1,900MHz frequency support — and that whole “SGH-i917 (ATT)” marking on the label — it’s pretty safe to assume that this 4-inch, AMOLED-packin’ superphone will soon be fighting with the iPhone 4 for shelf space. . . . → Read More: Samsung’s Cetus SGH-i917 sashays into FCC database, winks seductively at AT&T We’ve called a bunch of our local stores and have struck out, but for what it’s worth, we’ve been sent a shot of the BlackBerry Torch’s box apparently chilling in the stockroom of one of AT&T’s many corporate-owned retail locations around the country. Though the official launch is August 12, we imagine you might be able to find a rep willing to slip you one early if you find one that’s received their shipment and push ‘em hard enough. No violence or torture techniques, though, alright . . . → Read More: BlackBerry Torch already showing up in some AT&T stores? We know more a few of you wised up and came over from BlackBerry, and, truth be told, we’re looking at the BlackBerry Torch (aka the Torch 9800) with a wee bit of envy. After all, who wouldn’t want to try Android on a vertical slider . . . → Read More: BlackBerry Torch 9800 reviewed [the competition] Look familiar? We know, it’s tough to keep this endless barrage of Android gear straight, so let us refresh your memory: this phone, allegedly the HTC Paradise , matches up perfectly with a model PC70110 that we spied in the FCC all the way back in April on its way to AT&T. Sure enough, some lucky dude apparently scooped it up as an “AT&T sample” from an eager seller on Craigslist recently — and considering that the only QWERTY Android device that the carrier’s got right now is the Backflip , we’d be delighted to see it come along any day now. . . . → Read More: HTC Paradise and Fiesta flipped on Craiglist, AT&T-bound? Can’t say we didn’t see this one coming but it looks like RIM’s BlackBerry 9800 slider was just blessed by the FCC on AT&T frequencies. While the FCC documents refer to it as a “BlackBerry smartphone model RCY71UW,” there’s no mistaking the backside wireframe that forms a perfect match when superimposed onto our earlier exclusive pics . . . → Read More: BlackBerry 9800 slider for AT&T slips through FCC: ready for 11AM announcement There’s a fascinating discussion going on over in MoDaCo ’s forums today suggesting that Dell Streak units that were given out recently as part of the company’s US beta test in and around Austin, Texas are no longer functioning on AT&T, the result of an apparent IMEI block; voice calls placed from the devices all get re-routed to AT&T customer service, and 2G / 3G data doesn’t work at all. Our understanding is that beta testers were allowed to keep their units after the conclusion of the test period — some of those ended up on eBay, naturally, so you can imagine that buyers are probably feeling a little steamed by this. One user has had luck with data by using the iPad’s APN and plan settings, but otherwise, there seems to be a bit of frustration going around. . . . → Read More: AT&T blocking Dell Streak beta units? Contactless payments made using your phone are hardly a new idea in themselves, but when three of the big four US carriers decide to unite behind it, the time might have come to start paying closer attention. Bloomberg reports that AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are about to test the NFC payment waters with pilot schemes in Atlanta and three other cities, potentially aided by partnerships with Discover Financial Services and British bankers Barclays Plc. This would require all-new readers for merchants and embedded NFC chips in phones, but we reckon plenty of people might be happy to pay a small premium to streamline their lives that little bit more and leave the plastic behind . . . → Read More: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile team up to transform your smartphone into a credit card Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) Today, Android developers brought phones to new heights seeing some of the highest scores of all time in benchmarking tools like Quadrant. Since the release of the Samsung Galaxy S in July, benchmarkers have consistently reported very good CPU and GPU scores. But until now, the Samsung-Intrinsity Hummingbird has been unable to fulfill its full potential due to poor system write/read and database write/read speeds. . . . → Read More: Developers Work On Galaxy S I/O Problems Motorola has done an excellent job with its Android handsets on Verizon. . . . → Read More: Motorola sending the Sage to AT&T? |
