AT&T has unveiled four ‘Quick Messaging’ phones that the carrier says will include a new suite of messaging, video, and photo sharing solutions, plus enhanced contacts management.
Each phone will feature AT&T Address Book, which syncs contacts online for phone or PC management, and hooks into existing Web-based accounts. Next Generation Messaging will offer “reply all” and group messaging functionality for up to 10 contacts, plus threaded SMS and enhanced MMS display. AT&T Mobile Share will transfer photos and videos to PCs, social networking sites, or an online “storage locker” from AT&T.
That’s the software; now comes the phones. The $19.99 Samsung Strive (pictured) features a 2-megapixel camera and a vertical QWERTY slider design. The $39.99 Samsung Sunburst is a full touch screen phone with a GPS radio and plenty of direct social networking links. Both Samsung phones will drop in AT&T stores on March 21. (All prices are with a two-year agreement and after rebate.)
Pantech makes the other two new devices, but neither one will be available immediately. The Pantech Link will be an ultra-slim keyboarded phone with a contemporary design, including black and blue accents; this one will appear “in the coming weeks.” Finally, the Pantech Pursuit will combine a full touch screen with a vertical sliding keyboard, and will be available this summer in green or blue. The Pursuit’s camera will also feature face recognition and geotagging software.
