Comments on: AT&T fires off the Quickfire

AT&T reveals the Quickfire messaging phone.

That looks a bit clunky around the display. Oh and there's no visible tactile navigation, so I'm guessing it's touch screen. Not exactly a deal-breaker, but certainly not something I'm dying to get.

That looks like a carbon copy of the Sidekick lol

Yes it's a touch screen.

Does any one know how much the phone would be without a 2 year agreement? And also when the phone will be coming out?

[phone_junkie]

299.99 without a commitment, release early Nov.

I am still wondering if i should get the pantech matrix, or get the quickfire but both great phones!!

[phone_junkie]

Haven't had my hands on the quickfire, but was a sidekick user, and if i compared the sidekick to the matrix, hands down, I would choose the quickfire over the matrix

I happen to like this idea but it does look like a lot of other phones but I definitely think that At&t needed new phones for messaging cuz they had a little amount of phones with full QWERTY keypads that weren't say the blackberry etc. I think that I like the Sam sung propel a lot, but that came out only yesterday for sales and no one has reviewed it yet so I don't know. This phone is going to be 100 dollers with mail in rebate and 100 year contract and the other ones are 80 bucks. Theirs the Pan tech Matrix, The pan tech slate the Sam sung propel and this one the At&t quickfire. I think my favourites are the Propel and this one so far.

Sorry posted two. And on the first one its suppose to be 2 year contract not 100 lolz.

Does anyone know if this phone has the 9 digit keypad on the touch screen which could be used for texting also like the LG voyager?

[pugsley0134]

Yes the quickfire does have the 9 digit keypad on the touch screen just like the voyager. This is going to be a super hot phone. It will be out on November 10th, and the price after mail in rebate and discount $99.00. If you wish to purchase this phone without a 2 year contract from AT&T; It's going to cost you $279.00. The quickfire has 35mbs of internal memory, and you can throw in an SD card up to 4GB. Touch Screen of course, and one hell of a qwery keyboard. Music player, 1.3 mp camera/camcorder. This bad boy only comes in silver for now. You have your choice of a black, orange, or lime keyboard. If sales are as high as projected, this phone will be out in black. As for those comparing this to the sidekick; Well..... It's 2x as nice as the sidekick, and packed with many more features. Also AT&T is the only network to offer Rollover minutes, great award winning customer service, and package deals 365 days a year. Come join the nations most reliable network, more bars in more places AT&T!!!!

LOL!!!
Thanks
Happy Customer Pennsylvania

I adore this phone!! Anyone wanna donate it 2 me ;) jk.

[gracielufreebush7]

I just go this phone today and I love it!! :)The touch screen is really easy to use and i text a lot so the full keyboard is great to have! The colors are great to pick from. The speakers are really nice for music. I don't have any complaints yet

[brandilly]

I just got this phone yesterday after "touching" every other phone in the AT&T store. It, as far as I am concerned, has the BEST QWERTY keyboard. It's spacious and the keys are raised just enough to allow quick texting, etc. All of the other phones/pdas keys were just too close together to feel comfortable. I am a little disappointed in the touch screen; it isn't as sensitive as I'd like. Having said that, it does work well. It seems to be missing a few little features (for instance, I can't name my alarms) but has pretty good functionality overall. As an aside... I notice that if my hands are really cold, the touch screen seems to respond slower. I'm new to the touch screen phenom and perhaps this is widely known, but to avoid frustration I always make sure my paws are warm!

i am having a hard time choosing between this phone and the htc fuze (also form att)
besides the price difference can someone help me decide?
