Nokia “Piranha” and a handful of other handsets reportedly headed to AT&T
AT&T customers, it looks like you’re in for quite a few sexy new phones over the next few months if this new report ends up panning out. Here’s what we’re looking at according to a report from the boys over at Engadget Mobile:
- Nokia Piranha, March 24th – Internal codename, a “thin smartphone with a touchscreen”. If true, it will have to be the 5800 XpressMusic we imagine, but we find it highly unlikely. The other, more likely possibility: The tipster is confused and it’s the E71x which will reportedly follow at Best Buy on April 1st.
- Samsung Propel Pro, March 19th
- Samsung Impression, March 26th – Touchscreen slider, 3 megapixel camera
- LG Xenon, April 9th
- LG Neon, May 9th
- Samsung “BJ 2″, May 9th – Possibly the Blackjack 3, though that codename is extremely odd considering the existence of the already-available Blackjack 2.
- Sony Ericsson C905, June 9th
See anything you like?
I hate my Tmobile contract.
Your t-mobile contract isnt that bad. 8900 is a sexy phone. Try a sprint contact…Pre?? if it doesnt get delayed is OUR only hope in the near future
E71x is hott phone, cant wait until it comes out
Bringin’ Sexy Back!
I don’t need a smartphone, so if ATT doesn’t realize S60 is ’smart’ I’m gonna have a tough decision between E71 and one of the touchscreen sliders coming up at renewal time.
If you check out the screen shots fo the menu system on the att e71x it has the “dumbphone” menu system. Hopefully we can all take advantage of the $15 data unlimited, $10 if you have unlimited messaging.
Very nice. Unlimited Family Messaging for me, so $10. Just comes down to reviews on new ones and my own hands-on time.
It looks like another WM version of a BB to me.
damn it i was hoping for a 8900 curve in a line up
Curve 8900!?!
I haven’t played with the SE c905, but I’m highly interested in it. I really REALLY want to like Sony Ericsson phones, but so far it’s been no dice.
If they didn’t confuse the touchscreen with the e71x, I’m excited about that. I’m a HUGE Nokia fanboy so, yea.
@Amroth
wm? nokia? error
Who ever was talking about the palm pre it will be delayed. My friend was the relationship manager with a contract between Sprint and Flextronics which is now a business account with over 2500 phones on it, because of this we now get insider information and it confirmed that the pre will defintely be delayed… I hope Sprint doesnt cause palm to pre-maturly die. lol sorry for the phone pun
@David, if the Pre was “definitely” going to be delayed, PALM would have filed a disclosure document with the SEC because the Pre will be material to their business continuity, and in view of the fact that PALM has stated many many times it will be released during first half of ‘09. If this turns out not to be true, and PALM does not disclose such a material change to the SEC, their goose is cooked. As you know from recent filings, PALM is very “SEC aware” and thus I seriously doubt your position.
Samsung Propel Pro & the SE C905 with a 8.1 mp cam look pretty sweet! Come ooooon Tmo…! Why do all of the other kids get new stuff…?
BJ2 – Ha he said BJ
Too bad i cant Get a E71 on Sprint…Im Not Buying a Pre In May, i hate Palm Keyboards and im Tired Of Touchscreen only Phones. E71 Has the best keyboard better than a Curve to Me
Guess ill hold out for that Niagara…
@TRV$: The $15 data plan [MediaNet?] isn’t available to -new- smartphone customers any longer, is it? Still available to existing smartphone customers to switch to? I’ve not seen it listed as an option in some time.
^Nevermind, TRV$. Just went thru the dumbphone selection process and found my own answer. AT&T just renamed MediaNet to ‘Data Unlimited’. Hopefully, you’re right about getting the e71x with it. Have to wonder if those who got the e71 unlocked are using the same AT&T plan. That would certainly prove it one way or the other.
Smh@ american carriers.. Had my e71 for long ass time!!! now I have to jump onto the 5800 bandwagon. I’d never go back to a blackberry because its starting to become like the sidekicks. I’m the type that hate seeing my tech all over the Damn place.. Can’t wait for the n 97.
I wonder why this is filed under samsung just wonderin
Nevermind I get it
HELPFUL HINT
Just go to amazon and the E71 unlocked for like 289, with no contract and no At&t-crapware
yeah not even the Blackberry 8900 Curve in the Lineup, I’m OUT!
@bobby
buy it unlocked. I use mine on tmob just fine.
