AT&T Adds Samsung Sunburst and Strive, Plus New Services
While there may be some other keynotes happening right now, we don’t want to stop bringing you the latest information about the phones you might want to pick up. What we have here is four new phones from AT&T, along with a few more features that the wireless carrier is bringing to the table. These devices may not be the end-all of mobile phones, but they’re great for the mid-range devices that are both easy on the pocketbook, as well as the learning curve.
First up, we have the Samsung Sunburst. This device is a touchscreen device, with a 3-inch screen. There isn’t a physical keyboard on the device, so you’ll be looking at a pretty standard touchscreen keyboard, so definitely take that into account. It’s got a 2MP camera with video capture, so you can capture all the important moments. It has the standard GPS, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, but no WiFi. The device is going on sale March 21st, and will cost $40 after a $50 mail-in rebate.
The Samsung Strive is a vertical slider that offers a full, physical QWERTY keyboard. It’s another run-of-the-mill device, with a 2MP camera and video capture that works with AT&T’s Video Share service. The only real feature it has is the Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. It will only cost $20 on a new contract from AT&T, though, so that’s a good thing. It’s also coming March 21st.
The Pantech Link is a device that’s slim and small, and has GPS. There wasn’t much more released about this device though, which includes missing price and exact release date. It is mentioned that it is coming in the next few weeks. Finally, we have the Pantech Pursuit which offers a touchscreen device, but also slides to offer the full physical QWERTY keyboard. It has a camera, but no word on what kind of mega-pixel we should expect. It does offer face recognition though. It supports GPS and will be available in the Summer.
The features that AT&T have announced in tandem, range from a cloud-based back-up for your contacts, to the Video Share capability that we mentioned above. All of these features are included within the ‘Mobile Locker’ name, and can be accessed by all of these phones when they become available. The mobile share services will cost $10 per month, so it shouldn’t break any backs.
