AT&T seems crazy serious to get heavy texters on its network. Just when we’ve talked about the upcoming Samsung Propel, we have a new tidbit of information suggesting one more full QWERTY keyboard equipped device will hit AT&T’s portfolio in the near future. This time, it’s the UTStarcom-made AT&T Quickfire, which prides itself with quite solid slide-out keyboard and apparently a built-in GPS receiver. From what we’ve heard, it should start selling later in the month for $99.99 on a two-year contact in silver, orange and green. Stay tuned…

    Wow…AT&T is really on a roll here. 4 Qwerty phones in 1 month? No wait, 4 phones in 1 month?!?! Usually they introduce only 1 or 2 phones a month to tease you for upcoming things. Thank god I am AT&T, they are pretty darn smart and buy fantastic phone models for their beloved customers.
