We've stumbled across a...
ahem, major national retailer's stock sheet for the next few weeks, and things are looking up -- particularly on AT&T, where we'll have a couple of long-awaited releases. Let's start with the unknown, though: there's a "Jackfrost" due at the end of the month, and without even a manufacturer listed, it's impossible to know what this thing could possibly be. More importantly, though, the
long-rumored LG Zenon (which spikes the less-trademarkable "Xenon" spelling we'd seen before) is slated for mid-April, and the even longer-rumored
E71x -- which may simply be known as the
E71 by the time it launches -- should drop by at the beginning of next month. Moving over to Big Red, that Nokia 7205 Intrigue that's been kicking around in spy shots
since the early part of '08 might finally launch in just a few days' time. All told, we have a lot of emotional closure around the corner with these launches, don't we?
[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

When do you think we'll see the Palm Pre hooked up with AT&T?
never. at&t is too deeply invested in the iphone
I'd go with michael on that, Apple would surely have a contract clause to do with competition?
the Jackfrost is listed as the I627

This Deeply Doesn't make any sense... How can such a good Phone manufacturing company partner up with Such a Crappy provider Verizon!!??
Nokia is known to be free of handcuffs and Verizon will handcuff everyone at the very first chance they get!!
I agree, I left Verizon cause of a Nokia phone, I am not going back
So it seems the e71 will be launching on April Fools day
Glad to see Nokia's e71 getting some US exposure through AT&T.
Still waiting on the Diamond for Verizon. Yea its a year old but oh well.
Have fun waiting for verizon to tickle your pickle with a old old old phone that sucked when it came out.
I don't understand poor people.
Correction: Number of cool phones verizon sells = 0
I am honestly up for contract on ATT and was considering verizon, but then i looked at the smart phone selection and laughed as I rubbed my iPhone, e71, Bold and unlocked G1 on my bare chest. Why you ask? Because with GSM technology i can use whatever phone i want bitches!
Awesome
Jackfrost = white Blackjack?
or whitejack?
Those are Best Buy's dates. Usually the cell phone companies get the phones before Best Buy stores. Hopefully the e71 comes out earlier.
So it's safe to guess that Nokia has officially ditched WiMax for LTE when it comes to 4G.
my upgrade is available on the 19th and I'm going down to the Bahamas April 2nd...so i really hope the e71 will be out sooner so I can be sure to have it before leaving.
With GSM technology you can use whatever phone you want as long as it is unlocked... and with GSM technology you better not end up in some rural area in the middle of nowhere...
Was going to purchase LG Versa. Now waiting for the Nokia Intrigue. Thank you for posting this, Engadget!!!
