AT&T have recently introduced four new phones, Samsung Strive and Sunburst, Pantech Link and Pursuit. These phones are basically the pioneers for the carrier's new product line of "quick messaging devices", based on new cloud sync and share services. We’ll go one by one about each phone like the Samsung Strive is a compact vertical slider sporting 2 megapixel camera, 2.6" QVGA screen and a sliding-out QWERTY keyboard.

Furthermore it has 3G connectivity with HSDPA support, Bluetooth, microSD expansion slot, full messaging package and social-networking suite. It is expected that the Strive will launch on 21 March for 19.99 US dollars on a 2-year contract. The second phone is the Samsung Sunburst, which is a full touchscreen device with a 3-inch WQVGA resistive display, a low-end camera, accelerometer sensor, GPS, Bluetooth and microSD slot. The Sunburst will offer the different popular social-networking widgets and is also expected to arrive on the 21st of March for 39.99 US dollars on a 2-year contract.

The Pantech Link will be a slim candybar with full QWERTY keyboard, while the Pursuit will be a touchscreen phone with slide-out vertical QWERTY keypad. It is being expected that both the phones will be released this summer. The good thing will be that all of these AT&T phones will enable you to use the new exclusive AT&T services available for "quick messaging devices". You will be able to sync your contacts online and also upload pictures and videos etc. with the help of the AT&T Address Book and AT&T Mobile Share.

The last newly introduced service by AT&T, also a much awaited one too, is called Next Generation Messaging and offers advanced texting features such as threaded and group messaging, reply all options and a common inbox.
