Sony Ericsson W580i Available From AT&T

The w580 isn’t exactly new—we fondled it earlier this year—but it’s now officially available on AT&T. The price actually depends on your region, and will be available for $79 to $129 with a two-year contract. To refresh, it’s a Walkman phone that supports FM radio, TrackID and MusicID music recognition programs, Quad-band, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth…

AT&T Tilt Gets Slightly More Official

Tipster Steve just sent this site in to us, showing that the AT&T Tilt is just slightly this side of being officially announced. Check out our previous coverage of the phone to see what’s up, but it seems like the Windows Mobile 6 smartphone should be out any day now. [Tilt Your World]

AT&T Lets You Talk, But Limits What You Say

AT&T has revised their Terms of Service in a manner that should horrify the consumer public. Usually such updates screw the customer subtly, but AT&T’s new adjustment ironically pulls freedom of speech directly from those using AT&T’s service to speak. In short, if you slam AT&T, they can pull your service: AT&T may immediately terminate…

AT&T Tilt Spotted In The Wild

A HoFo user got his hands on an AT&T Tilt, also known as an HTC Kaiser or the HTC TyTN II, and took a few shots of its exterior hardware buttons and its fairly standard Windows Mobile 6 UI. From the shots, you can’t tell whether the phone has the TouchFlo topscreen UI like the…

Apple Stores Voiding Warranty on Hacked iPhones?

We’re unsure if this is a policy or a one-time incident, but Jason O’Grady from ZDNet is reporting that an Apple store refused to service a hacked and unlocked (for T-Mobile) iPhone, saying the warranty was voided and blacklisting “the phone against future service, or return.” Although Jason’s colleague eventually got Apple to take the…

Verizon, AT&T To Share 4G Network Technology

When the next phase of wide-area wireless networking rolls out, AT&T and Verizon Wireless will be using the same technology, the 100-megabit Long Term Evolution (LTE). Not surprisingly, it will be the same technology used by Verizon’s GSM-flavored corporate parent, Vodafone. This will end a decade or more of competing network technologies in the US,…

AT&T’s Dual-Sliding Pantech Duo In the Wild

The Pantech Duo, seen previously as the Helio Ocean, has just been spotted in the wild by a tipster. He takes some sample shots next to his V3xx RAZR, which should give you a good idea of how large it is in comparison. If it’s as thick as the Ocean, prepare to be either appalled…

Amazon may have jumped the gun with it, but AT&T’s Wi-Fi-equipped BlackBerry 8820 is on sale from tomorrow, costing $299.99 for a two-year contract with rebate. https://gizmodo.com/first-wifi-blackberry-8820-on-sale-now-297904

Wes Anderson Directs a Bunch of AT&T Commercials

Wes Anderson, favorite director of film school students everywhere, has lent his talents to AT&T in their new line of commercials. Featuring his trademark quirky style and neato floating backdrops, they send a clear message: AT&T can totally hang with the kids. Heck, if AT&T was a person, it wouldn’t be a fat man in…

Stiff Competition

We don’t know if this picture is real, but it made us laugh—lol as you crazy kids of the internet might say. Hit the jump for a mega-sized version. [ididitforthelulz via digg]

Pantech Duo Dual-Slider Coming to AT&T

Do you want a dual-sliding phone like the Helio Ocean, but don’t want to sign up with Helio and prefer Windows Mobile to Helio’s great OS? Do you also want to sign up with AT&T? Uh… OK. Good news for you: AT&T is getting the Pantech Duo (i.e. the Pantech C180), a sleek-looking dual-slider that…

NTP Encores RIM Lawsuit By Suing the Big Four Carriers

When you’re a patent troll “holding firm” who wins a settlement of $612.5 million, what do you do? Take your half billion and head home? No, you head after fatter fish who can afford meatier judgments. NTP’s anteing up by suing AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile for patent infringement relating to “the delivery of e-mail…

AT&T Brings Back Cingular Orange to “Mobilize” Brand; Jack’s Still Dead

After spending an ungodly amount of money to kill Jack and mutate the Cingular brand into the “new AT&T,” they’ve decided that Cingular’s orange palette offered a “younger, edgier and more contemporary style—all attributes closely associated with wireless.” But clearly not AT&T. So, they’re rebranding. Again. Look for Death Stars set against the new “primary…

Nokia’s Skinny 6555 3G Clamshell Comes to AT&T

We originally cast this skinny Nokia clamshell as one of those Europe-only teases, but guess what? The inside word is that it was made for AT&T, for use on the HSDPA network in the US. This edition will have WCDMA 850/1900, specialized AT&T keys and the very American price of $49.99 (with contract, no doubt).…

AT&T Introduces Pay-For-Play Parental Controls for Cell Phones

AT&T’s mobile division is going to follow Disney Mobile and others by introducing its “Smart Limits” parental controls: parents use a web interface to set call blocking, calling hours, text message and download limits. But unlike many similar child-protection systems, this one will cost users $4.99 per month—per kid. Like Disney’s built-in parental controls, AT&T…

Pantech 180, Thinner and Smaller than Helio Ocean, Coming Up on AT&T

Look at this Pantech C180 that Boy Genius Report just uncovered, branded AT&T and looking a whole lot like a smaller and thinner Helio Ocean. Unlike the Ocean, this Pantech slider runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard, but just like the Ocean, it has that appealing dual-sliding arrangement, where a horizontal slide reveals a QWERTY keyboard…

HTC TyTN II Becomes Official in Europe

The phone we’ve previously known as the HTC Kaiser or the 8925 has just been named the HTC TyTN II for the European market. The Windows Mobile 6 phone will be available under T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and Telefonica (includes O2), and will have the standard 3.5G connectivity, Windows Mobile 6, HTC’s Home screen, GPS, TomTom…
