AT&T Quickfire emerges a few days early
“Big city life” has its ups and downs. Among the upside elements are convenience, diversity, variety and plenty to do after the sun goes down. On the downside, AT&T stores generally listen to HQ. November 11th release date be damned, at least one AT&T store in rural America has reportedly decided to stick it to the man and begin selling the Quickfire a bit early. The tipster hasn’t revealed the location of the rouge shop so we can’t tell you where it’s being sold, but we can at least confirm that the pricing we first reported last month is accurate. $100 after MIR with a 2-year contract and you’re out the door with this bad boy. So what do you think – should T-Mobile’s Sidekick start getting nervous?

Battery runs extremely hot. Will catch on fire if texting fast. This is a known issue they are working on. The testers actually nicknamed this phone ‘Quickfire’
sooo….
do we have to pay extra to use the GPS?
and the internet applies to the media net charges right?
They should make a shared bundle that has…
unlimited txt…email…web…and video/pic messaging
I really like this phone just a couple questions for people that have it. Does it have an onscreen keyboard when it’s closed and does it have a card slot? Thanks
Olean NY store has 1 left, they started selling them Friday. Way to much like a side kick, wife took it back with in 2 hours.
Yes i have a question, i want to get this phone
but i would really like to know how responsive the touch-screen is and it it vibrates when you touch it like the Vu or Voyager? and if you think the qwerty is nice to text with
much appreciated (:
Hmmmm ,
reminds me alot of the Tmobile Mda.
Quickfire seems 2005ish.
i’d have top say i would pass if i was on att and wait for the Fuze.
I think this is a great phone for at&t. They have been coming out with some nice phones in the couple of past weeks. I’ve had at&t and can’t complain. It is a little bit compared to the sidekick. I think it’s kinda of a mix of a voyager and a sidekick combined. Overall, this looks like a pretty nice phone.
Thanks.
I got the quikfire this am and so far its not that bad I used to have a sidekick and hated flippn that screen around to do everything….
I got he matrix last week and all and all it was a pretty sharp phone with awesome battery life last several days on one charge with alot of texting but the keyboard was really cramped
I havent had the quikfire long enough to say if the battery last very long so well see
The screen is a little dull I must say and the alert on a text/voice mail is too soft but ringers for calls are loud enough the touch screen is adaquate wouldnt say its like a iphone or anything but for this price $99 its a good phone
I hope they come out with a case or something though.. the entire back and sides are a metallic silver that im sure will scratch super easy
They keyboard is a dream for texters esp if you have bigger fingers id say get this
No you dont have to get any kind of data plan to have this phone but to use aim/yahoo or anything like that you do but just to text and talk just a voice plans will suffice
The plain silver looks adult enough and doesnt have the adolesent look at all if you are wondering if this is only for teenagers
Hope this helps!!!
To those who have it, how’s the battery life on that thing? I’m a highschooler, and I really don’t want to have it die in the middle of the school day.
Will this have stuff like firmware updates, like other touch screen phones such as the verizon samsung glyde?
i have a question, does the touch screen respond at a good speed, or is it slow. like when you scroll down and such. and does the phone come with headphones?
where can I get headphones for my quickfire? Anywhere online that you suggest
does it have a headphone jack that you can use like any normal headphones for it or do u haft to buy a seperate set of headphones?
the phone is really not that big. its about 3/4 in. thick and really light weight.
hi. um, people keep saying that the battery life is bad…how long does it last if you text a lot?
Hey Im a 12 year old and im wondering if this would be a good phone for me for Christmas. Thanks!
oops sorry it went twice! sorry lol
hey..i’ve heard that the phone doesn’t even come with headphones and the adapter 4 the headphones is the same as the battery 1….so if i were to buy them how much did they cost???
hey do yu kno how much rthe headphones are?
i love this phone anyone who reads this has got to buy it and NOW!!!!!!
