HTC Touch Pro2, Diamond2 Also Going to AT&T
Two more HTC devices are coming out soon, and they’re biggies because they are the Touch Pro2 and the Touch Diamond2.
AT&T is the last US carrier to announce it’ll be getting the Pro2, though here it is named the HTC Fortress. We wouldn’t be surprised if the name sticks, much like how the Touch Pro became the HTC Fuze. The Touch Diamond2 is named the HTC Warhawk.
HTC Fortress:
Supposedly scheduled for launch as early as tomorrow (which doesn’t sound at all right considering we haven’t heard even any rumors up to this point), the HTC Fortress has:
- 3.6″ WVGA display
- 3.2 MP Camera with Autofocus
- WinMo 6.1 with AKU6 (we assume upgradeable to 6.5 at some point)
- Triband AT&T 3G
- aGPS
We’ve noticed that none of the slides we’ve seen so far today have mentioned WiFi, so we don’t know if they are included but just left out on the spec sheet, or if they just won’t have it. Seems silly that WiFi would not be included to ease the bandwidth burden AT&T’s experienced lately.
HTC Warhawk:
Scheduled for August 24, the Warhawk should have Windows Mobile 6.5 on it from the launch. But just as any other rumor or tentative release date, these specs could change at any time.
The Warhawk will also have:
- 3.2″ WVGA touch display
- dual-band AT&T 3G
- 3.2 MP Camera
- Video Share
- aGPS
AT&T Blackberry Plans Include 4 New Devices
This is great news. We had heard the Magnum was confirmed for AT&T but it is great to hear that the other three are coming there as well. This will give the Blackberry lineup a large boost.
So let’s go through each one and see what the slides say, and what info is already circulating about those devices.
Blackberry Onyx
While most of the specs are identical to the Bold, a couple key changes are the 3.2 MP camera, and the slide also mentions using a micro USB connector instead of the standard Mini USB that RIM has used for eons.
The style also looks a little different. It’s reminiscent of Bold vs Curve 8900. The below crystal-clear picture shows off the Onyx, reviewed earlier by Kevin at Crackberry.
Blackberry Magnum
Such a detailed picture, isn’t it? The Magnum is being touted as the “Blackberry Bold portfolio evolution”. We’re excited about this one, as it’s supposed to have full QWERTY as well as HVGA touchscreen. Nice!
The Magnum is also bragging up a Navigation evolution. Huh? Should be interesting to find out more about this mysterious handset, for sure. Here’s a fuzzy pic of what the Magnum should really look like.
Blackberry Pearl 3G
Not much needs to be said of this one, as it is a natural upgrade to the current Pearl line. A much needed upgrade, considering the Pearl dates back a good 3 years. This will be of the non-flip variety and will sport triband AT&T 3G, as well as a high resolution display (exact res TBD). We hope the Pearl 3G will look a little more stylish than the one in the slide.
Blackberry Gemini
Also known as the Blackberry Curve 8520, the Gemini is well-named because of the look and feel of it. Here’s the confusing part though — according to our previous reports, the Gemini is supposed to come with an optical trackball (or trackpad, whichever you want to call it) instead of the usual Curve-style trackball, yet the above slide mentions it comes with a trackball.
By the looks of it, the Gemini is meant to be more of an entry-level Blackberry as it won’t have 3G, it may have GPS but not sure yet, and 2 MP camera with no flash. Picture below.
As of yet we don’t have any release dates for these handsets, but it’s refreshing to see a whole slew of new phones to replace the aging Blackberry devices currently for sale on AT&T. Your thoughts?
Nokia and AT&T
We hope you’re having a fun time keeping up with the schload of leaked internal specs for forthcoming AT&T phones, because we’re not done yet. It’s Nokia’s time to shine, as they supposedly have four phones on deck for the 2nd largest US carrier.
Until the release of the E71x last month, things between Nokia and AT&T were rather quiet. The last major phone released was the 6650, which became EOL only a few short months after it was launched.
For you Nokia fans — and there are a lot of you out there — hearing about these four new handsets are like a breath of fresh air. Let’s check them out.
Nokia Mako
For a landscape QWERTY device, the Mako is the most uniquely designed that we’ve seen in a long time. But on first impression, it looks rather clever. Instead of having a bulky look, the keyboard appears like it easily tucks into the phone without adding any extra size.
The Mako runs on Symbian S60 3.2, the same as the E71x and the 6650.
If we had to guess, this will be intended more as a messaging phone than a smartphone, because the specs are ho-hum. Only 128 MB internal memory with expandable slot, 2 MP camera, and a 2.5 mm headphone jack (Really? 2.5? Really?), for example. But this new design could certainly spark the interest of some of the younger folks.
The slide mentions an early June release, though we tend to disbelieve such a notion simply because we haven’t heard anything about the Mako until now. But we’ve seen crazier things happen.
Nokia Grouper
The Grouper almost looks though Nokia is actually finding inspiration from the Motorola RAZR. The Grouper is a super thin clamshell with external music controls, running Series 40, and offers plenty other standard specs for a mid-range phone.
Below is the pic taken for the FCC filing, and everything looks like it’s going straight to AT&T here, complete with CV button.
Anticipated release date is the end of July.
Nokia Snapper
The Snapper seems to be the 6555’s replacement. Another standard clamshell, the Snapper has almost identical specs to the Grouper, and is music-optimized. Feel free to check the above slide to get exact specs, but nothing we can see really stands out to us.
Anticipated release date is August 7.
Nokia Thresher
As seen above, the Nokia Thresher has a very N-series look to it, complete with a sporty slider style. The Thresher has a few neat features to help it stand above the Grouper and Snapper, such as:
- 360 degree optical joystick
- 3.2 MP camera
- Uplink noise cancellation
- Navigation and entertainment enablers
Perhaps not the most loaded device on the planet, but certainly it has a few things going for it. This one will apparently hit stores September 18.
Motorola Heron Brings More Android to AT&T
Earlier today we discussed breaking news about the HTC Lancaster becoming the first Android phone on AT&T, a big shocker to many considering the company was quite hush-hush about what the future held for the Google mobile OS.
Good news, Android fans — that’s not all AT&T has in the pipeline! The Motorola Heron, aka Iron Man, is still on the roadmap for the holiday season.
There were some rumblings almost a month ago that the Heron was in the works, but there was no information as to what specs to expect with it.
Let’s go over some of the specs on the Heron.
As you can see, nothing terribly mind-blowing, though the 2.8″ QVGA touch screen isn’t shabby considering it’s a slider that reveals a full qwerty underneath. The video capture also looks nice, as AT&T takes the time to brag up the 24 fps QVGA capabilities.
The Heron is geared up for a November release, but we can’t be certain as to how accurate these slides are, or how old they truly are.

iPhone to get direct TV and movie downloads?
Apple will begin to allow downloads of movies and TV shows through the iPhone, according to the hottest rumor --complete with supposed screenshots-- revealed just before a week-end.
This revelation, (again at least to me) comes by way of an advertisement in the new ad supported version of the app Twitterfon released on 5/15/09. Three ads, stumbled upon by a geeky friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of the powerful arms of the Apple legal department, scrolling across the top of the app were for ‘iTunes Movies’, ‘iTunes TV’ and ‘iTunes Movie Rentals’.
Unsubstantiated rumor? I don't know, though on-device downloads would be nice. Currently, the only way to get video on an iPhone is by downloading it via iTunes on your computer and syncing with your device.
