AT&T Quickfire

By Nick Mokey Published June 14, 2018

Given the choice between touch-screen phones like the iPhone and those with full QWERTY keyboards like the T-Mobile Sidekick, there’s one option that never disappoints: both. AT&T is betting that consumers will snap up the middle option with its AT&T Quickfire, which it announced on Tuesday.

Much like Sprint’s HTC Touch Diamond Pro and the highly anticipated T-Mobile G1, the Quickfire boasts both a an enormous touch-screen up front and a roomy QWERTY keyboard within, doubling up input options for those who can’t quite decide whether they would rather spit out 100 word per minute on a mini keyboard or play games with their fingers on a touch screen.

Though AT&T hasn’t yet released full specs on the multi-tasker (which some suspect will look less than flattering on the scale) we know that it will also come with the all-important 3G Internet access , and hook up with both Napster Mobile and eMusic Mobile, giving it some potential as a viable music machine.

AT&T plans to launch the phone in November, just in time to run against its nearest competitors for Christmas. It will debut in orange, lime and silver, and sell for $100 after a two-year contract and mail-in rebate. More information can be found in AT&T’s official press release for the phone.

2 reasons why you shouldn’t buy a Motorola phone in 2024

A few years ago, buying a Moto G phone was the thing to do if you wanted a quality Android phone on a budget. Starting with the first Moto G from 2013, it's a product line with a lot of history. Much of it is good, but in more recent years, there's been some bad, too.

Motorola's approach to the Moto G has been worrisome, especially in 2024. By March, the company had already announced and released three new Moto G models, none of which were particularly good. From low-quality displays, poor performance, bad cameras, and more, it felt like Motorola had lost its budget phone mojo.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
