AT&T Launches Quickfire, A Touchscreen Full QWERTY Phone

Cell Phones — 15 October 2008

At first glance you might mistake the Quickfire for T-Mobile’s Sidekick given is similar form factor. Available in November on the AT&T network, the Quickfire features a 2.8-inch touchscreen, a QWERTY slide out keyboard, Bluetooth, GPS, a 1.3MP camera with video, SD card slot, quad band connectivity and HDSPA data transfers.

The Quickfire is expected to be available this November for $100 after 2-year signage.

I really want one of these phones. Right now i have the samsung impression and it works great! im worried about the mayjor problems. My friend owns a quickfire and i was playing with it. There wasn’t a lot of lagging but i heard one time the charger cought fire. Thhis was the phone I orriginlally wanted, but they took it off the market so im going to order it off line. If the problems are too bad ill switch back to the impression but I have a feeling it will work out fine.

yes you have to buy the extra plans. you have to with all data phones now, or at least that is what i was told.
now i have a question. if this phone was supposed to go on sale in november, then why are all these negative postings from like april?

The phone came out in November 2008. I have it and I really liked it. I have had it for a year and now the touch screen doesn’t work sometimes or it thinks I am touching a different part of the screen then I actually am. I wouldn’t recommend getting this phone.

I LoVe the quickfire and im getting it TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
