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

    well i guess your just going to have to wait and see if the release gets botched… the palm treo pro didnt have any documentation for its delay, its was purely sprints doing, considering it came out on alltel during the delay.

  • jazzyl

    wow cant wait for this phone to be released

  • HG

    The C905 is totally garbage @$$ phone. Its another failure like the K850i. I had the C905 for 2 months and the speakers have already failed—and no US Warranty. If your gonna make a $500 phone, at least you top grade components.

    @ backbeat and anyone else interested:

    I read some reviews on Best Buy and more than one said they are using the data unlimited $15/$10) and getting tethering out of it as well as using it as a wi-fi hotspot for their laptops.

  • Relic

    Yeah, heard people are using e71 with $10 plan, but just wondered if att would re-evaluate once they started actually selling it.

  • backbeat

    @TRV$: Thanks! I’m sure the tethering is a bit limited (as in ‘discreet’) but that is all I generally need anyway.

    Att the nokia e71 is going to crippled according to my friend who works at a coporate store said there is no wifi he got to demo a unit. And its slow because of att the att garbage on it your better off getting the unbrabded version

  • TRV$

    Once the att versions come in I’ll check out the branded vs. unbranded and see which one is better for what I need it to do. But if I end up looking at unlocked phones, I may have to wait and see if the Pre ever gets released. If it can run on att’s jenky EDGE network decently, it may be an option. But if the e71x suits me, then I’ll scoop it like Cold Stone.

    i just got done playing with the e71x. it does have wifi, but they did take out the dual home screen where u can change it from personal to business. also took out the front facing camera. but it does have video share. overall at&t is late with this phone but damn it is sexy in black

    @ bean

    They seriously took out the dual home screen? WTF att?!?! That was one of the bigger selling points for me.

    Dammit.

  • TrueDis

    Dual homescreen is useless. I haven’t touched it since I bought the device, and it’s my personal/work device…
