Ogo CC-10 throws time-tested formula to the wind, goes portrait QWERTY

Jul 4th 2009 7:01AM on Engadget Mobile

Is this a Palm designed handset? Sure reeks of early 2000s Palm.

"The stuff's in the back": AT&T previews its new lineup

Mar 30th 2009 9:56AM on Engadget Mobile

You realize that AT&T produced this video, right?

Sheesh...this is lame thus far. New hardware, please...

Nokia E71 finally coming to AT&T as E71x

Simply add a MediaNET unlimited package to the phone number you plan on rocking the phone on. $15 for all you can eat data, as opposed to $30 a month for all you can eat data.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic now listed at ?429 for Spain, up from ?279

Whoa...too, too expensive.

$199 is the sweet spot for this one...initial software doesn't seem to be "up to snuff"...and reviews bear this out.

I really dig Symbian, but not at this price...I suppose a Storm will be my next acquisition, sorry Nokia!

Samsung's SPH-W6050 is the perfect excuse to visit Korea

I hate to disagree, but the women are a much better reason than any cell phones to visit Korea.

AT&T starts to hawk Samsung Eternity online

Agreed...the exclusion of wi-fi is the biggest sin this phone makes.

However, as far as leaving out Window Mobile - that just means you get a better OS, as well as $15 unlimited MediaNet v. a $30 smartphone package.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 makes date with US: Black Friday for $799.99

$800 for a phone...ah, eh...how about no thanks.

Subsidize it into the $299 ballpark (like the iPhone, Bold, Fuze) and we may be talking.

AT&T Quickfire is, as promised, available

Yes, this is a phone for the teen/tween set. My 12 year old thinks it's the greatest phone ever. Which in my mind, is exactly what at&t was shooting for here.

However, others have said they dig it too. In just playing around with my son's, I will confess that it isn't a bad phone. Not my cup of tea, but still a pretty decent effort. And in terms of the demographic they're aiming for, they nailed it dead center.

@ fadi - I've got the rebate form right in front of me. There is NO requirement for a 24 month contract listed.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
