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?

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 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!!!

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.

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.

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 (:

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

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

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’

got this today. its pretty mega-awesome; the only thing i don’t like about it is that there is no headphone jack
and its definitely not a super huge phone.

I love this phone. Thanks BGR. I heard that the att stores could sell them as soon as they got em so i called 2day (saturday) and they had em in stock. the phone is great, touchscreen with slide out keyboard. Great if u want a touch screen but not a “touch” keyboard. Exactly the phone i wuz lookin 4

the whole web is saying that the at&t quickfire is out in one small town. It is actually out in the mall of americas at&t store in minnesota.i would just like to say that and say that it is an amazing phone.

It does take the microDS. I haven’t had any problems while on a call so the screen must lock up in some way. I never really paid much attention but had no problems with accidently starting something else while on a call. The charger slot doubles as the headphone jack.
I also want to add that the sound while on a call is awesome. I’m very pleased with that. The alarms and music are loud as well. Good volume, all around.

Maciek: You really believe that this is an answer to the G1? You either work for at&t or are seriously delusional. (or both)

Back on topic: I think the Sidekick sells itself on its name more than anything. It has a niche following.

I don’t care for the Sidekick and have no plans on picking up the Quickfire, but like any other phone someone somewhere will buy it.

I had a question GotMine. How does the screen behave when you get a call? Is there a proximity sensor that locks the screen up when you bring the phone near your ear..or is the screen still active and there might be the possibility of selecting s’thing on the screen unknowingly.

2ndly, does it have a microSD card slot and does it come with a 3.5mm headphone jack?

Thanks.

It’s a not bad looking phone. However (and I may get flamed for this comment) the big mistake is putting a totally proprietary OS. This could’ve been at&t’s answer to T-Mob’s G1…Android. Otherwise it doesn’t look like this phone will get much software support besides what’s on it already.

I bought the AT&T Quickfire today so its definitely being sold in some places. And I’ve got my rebate form too. The store I go to had everything there and ready for sale. I got the last one, I think our store got 4 or 5 of them in.
I actually went there to buy the matrix (I’ve had the LG Shine since July of this year and have hated it since day 1)…so when I was playing around with the matrix, it just didn’t seem like what I wanted and that’s when our rep brought out the Quickfire. I was sold almost instantly. I’m liking it so far. If you wanna know anything specific about it, I’ve got it right here. Just ask…

Our store has been selling them for the last 2 days. We sold out and started with a dozen of them. They are medium sized but feel great in your hand thanks to the curved back. Battery life is great. Sidekick should definitely be worried.

The home screen seems pretty ugly to me.

I think you meant “rogue shop” and not “rouge shop”. They’re not selling makeup with the phones, right?
