AT&T and Pantech launched in the US the new Impact mobile phone, which is first announced in early October. The side-flip Impact has a haptic touchpad and a small screen outside. Flip open of the phone reveals the QWERTY keyboard and a larger color display.
Pantech’s Impact supports A-GPS and AT&T Navigator service for voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions in real time. The handset supports 3G and gets a full HTML browser. The Impact is available for $99.99 after mail-in rebate with 2-year contract.

It looks like the AT&T branded Curve 8520 dummy units have started to arrive in some stores. The new device is ready for AT&T and was stated to be arriving "in the coming weeks", but no exact date just yet. We've seen this in the past over and over with dummy units and accessories popping up just a few days before the actual device is released. So if you've been waiting on this one, you may not have much longer to go.

Man, the loot you can uncover when you go snooping around spec pages. That most ambitious of Sony Ericsson projects, the XPERIA X10, is still a long way from being released, but already we can narrow down the list of potential US carriers to just one: AT&T. The guys over at Phandroid were the first to spot the newly added UMTS frequency specs for the phone, and the available 800/850/1900/2100 bands fit only AT&T's 3G network. That's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow if you were looking for something like (or better than) an iPhone, but were put off by the wireless provider. Then again, with pre-order prices for unlocked X10s showing up at $999 in some places, maybe you can just look at our lukewarm hands-on and convince yourself this phone ain't worth it anyway

That successor to AT&T's wildly popular LG Shine that we spied back in August has finally popped official today, becoming the Shine II (surprise, surprise). It's a very evolutionary set — if you squint, you can't see much difference from the original — but this might be a situation where it's in AT&T's best interest not to mess with success just as long as they don't end up pulling a RAZR over the next several years. It's got a 2 megapixel cam, a mirror-finish 2.2-inch LCD, GPS, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, and microSD expansion to 16GB; look for it on November 22 for $119.99 after rebate on contract. Perhaps more notably, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 has migrated from T-Mobile over to AT&T today with the same EDGE data and optical pad as its cousin; it'll be hitting in the "coming weeks" for $99.99 after rebate. Of course, the Bold 9700 hits on the 22nd for a hundie more, so there'll be some soul searching among AT&T-based BlackBerry lovers over the next few days

AT&T has just pumped out a new OS for the BlackBerry Bold 9000. I know, I know, this isn’t 5.0, but at least AT&T is doing their best here to keep up with the joneses. This latest update brings you up to OS 4.6.0.304, and you can grab it from the BlackBerry download site.
As always, be sure to backup your device and take all necessary precautions before you proceed. I will not be held responsible for any bad things that happen during your upgrade[Via: BerryReview]
