The phone will feature quadband GSM/EDGE access, dual-band W-CDMA with HSDPA packet data, Push to Talk support, A-GPS support with AT&T Navigator, a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recorder and support for AT&T Video Share service, Bluetooth, speakerphone, and six-person conference call support.
The phone is expected to launch on September 15th as per the most recent information available in retail sales channels, with Telesales expected to take orders starting Tuesday September 2nd.
I got this phone yesterday and so far its good. It has loud speakerphone and loud enough for regular calls. The back of the phone has a lock on the battery cover so it wont pop off like some phones when dropped and the instruction manual also says it to keep out moisture. I dropped it last night and didnt phase the phone. The main display screen is of the smaller scale not like the Samsung Sync. Overall I like the phone so far.
