AT&T’s got a busy month ahead of them
We know the RAZR 2 launched today, but what’s more comforting than knowing that the Motorola Q9, UTStarcom 5700, BlackBerry 8820, and Pantech C810 (it says C180 in the price sheet, though) should be launching this month! Well, theorectically next month. What gadget lover wouldn’t be super stoked? It seems as if the Pantech C810 could indeed make it way to stores in late September, but this price sheet is only valid through September 15, so they better get to crankin’ these out!! Pricing should be as follows:
UTStarcom 5700: $269 with no contract, and only $69 with 2 year agreement!
Motorola Q9: $549 with no contract, $299 with 2 year agreement
Pantech C810: $499 with no contract, $299 with 2 year agreement
$299 seems to be the magic number with AT&T, and you can expect the BlackBerry 8820 to launch with that 2 year pricing as well. Whether you’ll be able to GPS ’till your hearts content, well, that’s a whole ‘nother story.
UPDATE: Sorry, we forgot to add this in…We’ve been told the HTC TyTN II, or AT&T 8925 should be launching October 1st on AT&T. Hopefully that will stick.
The FCC cleared the Moto Q9 on 8/27, it is on AT&T’s rebate form that expires on 9/15 with a $50 rebate. So please don’t listen to the store reps they generally have not clue.
I have checked with the Data Sales Specialist at one of the local stores in my area. She did update me to say its expected by the end of September, but that was before the rebate form came to light.
The store reps want you to buy something today so they make a sale today.
The Moto Q9 from ATT is already available on Amazon.com, even though its still not on the At&T site or stores.

Going by the prices that ATT has set (price chart) at approx $299 for 2 year contract, the Amazon deal looks far better at $199 for a 2 year contract. The estiated shipping date is around Sept 18th or after, so its not that bad.
Almost there
