The following info is nothing but speculation, but according to what people over at Engadget found out, the launch of the anticipated 3G iPhone may be closer than we thought.

It looks like AT&T plans "an exciting Summer Promotional Launch" between June 15 and July 12, and asks its retail store employees not to take any vacations during this period.

Heating things up is the fact that, if you recall, on June 29th iPhone will celebrate its one year anniversary.

AT&T has officially released the Sony Ericsson Z750a. The clamshell phone is available now for $49.99 with a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate.

Sony Ericsson Z750a features:

• Grey, purple, and pink colors;
• WCDMA (850/1900MHz);
• HSDPA data;
• External hidden OLED display;
• Main 2.2" QVGA 262k color display;
• 2Mpix camera with video capture capability;
• Memory Stick micro (M2) card slot;
• Bluetooth 2.

It looks like Pantech and AT&T are working on the successor to the Duo C810 smartphone.

The new Duo 2 C820 model is said to feature a rounded black case, similar to Motorola MPx200 and the same dual sliding mechanism as its predecessor with both numeric and QWERTY keypads.

Other features will include Windows Mobile 6.1 platform (apparently with preloaded MobiTV and AT&T Music apps), a 2.

Briefly: as expected, AT&T has officially released the LG Vu.

The prices include $299.99 with a 2-year contract and a $100 mail-in rebate, or $549.99 sans contract.

Thanks to Engadget today we know the presumable price for the AT&T's Garmin Nuvifone. One reader discovered it in a Garmin survey, when he was asked the following question:

"Now, how likely would you be to buy the Garmin nüvifone (for yourself or as a gift) if offered by AT&T for $499.99 with a two year contract? You would be required to have both a data plan that would include unlimited Internet browsing and unlimited Navigation for $19.

Usually Pantech phones with a "C" prefix in their model number are bound for AT&T, so we guess the new C610 won't be an exception.

It appeared at the FCC this week. Apparently this is not a smartphone, as it will be much cheaper than the C810. Unfortunately, besides this crappy photo we have almost no info about the device at the moment; just note that it is a red 3G clamshell.

It's official. AT&T Mobile TV will be launched on May 4th in 58 markets, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C, and others.

The new service will include 10 channels, two of which will be AT&T's exclusive (PIX and CNN Mobile Live). Moreover, there will be a bonus music channel, CNCRT, available just for the first 60 days.

Judging by the available photos, two AT&T sliders will soon receive new colors.

The first is the LG Shine, which will be available in Black in addition to the existing Silver or Red variants, while the second is Sony Ericsson's W580, which apart from white, black, gray and pink will also come in green.

Specs and prices won't change.

AT&T started selling WiFi-less BlackBerry 8110.

This model looks like the BlackBerry Pearl 8120; it comes in a choice of red and "titanium", lacks Wi-Fi, but adds GPS navigation instead.

You can get the 8110 now for $149.99 after contract and rebates, $50 cheaper than its counterpart.

According to Korea's Electronic Times, the LG Voyager will become available for both AT&T and Sprint customers before the year's end.

This means we can expect two new versions of the handset: CDMA without MediaFLO for Sprint and GSM variant for AT&T. Let's hope this turns out to be true...

The LG Voyager was released in the end of 2007 and is currently available from Verizon Wireless.
