AT&T will soon release another Motorola RAZR2, this time V9x. The only two features that differ it from the V9 model are integrated GPS receiver, which works even when the phone is closed, and the new dark-grey color. Everything else seems to be the same.

We'll let you know when it launches.

AT&T officially announced pricing plans for the iPhone 3G. The handset will become available on July 11, at 8:00 AM. New customers and those eligible for an upgrade will be able to get the phone for $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB) with a 2-year commitment.

Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade can sign a new 2-year agreement and get the iPhone 3G for $399 (8GB) or $499 (16GB).

Here's a fresh rumor: apparently Samsung's latest Omnia touchscreen iPhone-like handset will be coming to AT&T really soon.

This is bad news for LG, who holds the number one spot in providing AT&T’s Mobile TV service with its Vu handset.

Samsung Omnia features:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• HSDPA data

AT&T announced unlimited voice and data plans for the 3G iPhone.

We don't know if the messaging is included in the mix, but it looks like new iPhone owners will be paying more for the data used: $30 per month for simple and $45 for business users.

Regarding voice plans, we only know that the pricing will start from $39.95, but a more detailed pricelist will be available when the device actually ships.

Late, but nevertheless Pantech Breeze became available for purchase on AT&T's website.

For just $49.99 you will get yourself a nice simple clamshell with quad-band GSM/EDGE support, a VGA camera, Bluetooth, as well as speed dial, large buttons and text for... senior customers, I guess.

Sony Ericsson Z780i, a thin clamshell phone with HSDPA 850/1900/2100 and GPS has been approved by the FCC today.

Judging by the available photos the phone is bound for AT&T.

AT&T announced they are about to complete upgrading their 3G network to HSPA (HSDPA + HSUPA).

HSUPA provides upload speeds ranging from 500 to 800Kbps when used with compatible devices, so it's a serious step forward.

The company also said that in a month they will have 275 markets covered by the new network, and by the end of the year they plan to extend it to 350 markets.

These are unofficial, and are subject to change: as expected, AT&T will be the first to get the Bold, and will start selling it for $300 in July.

Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers will be able to get their hands on the device in September. It sounds strange, but apparently T-Mobile will offer the phone for $350.

If something changes, we'll let you know.

AT&T's CEO announced lately that the company plans to enable 20Mbps downloads via its HSPA wireless network as early as 2009.

Moreover, by 2010, its network should be capable of 100Mbps downloads thanks to 4G LTE.

However, these are just talks; the real speed will be much slower, and that's for sure...

As we expected earlier, RIM has finally announced the BlackBerry 9000.

It is indeed codenamed Bold, and will soon be available from AT&T, which is said to be the exclusive carrier in the U.S.

The price is still unknown, unfortunately. Here are some of the specs:

• HSDPA or EV-DO (including an AWS-capable 1700MHz version);
  
• 480 x 320 resolution display;
  
• 625MHz CPU;
  
• 1GB of internal flash memory;
  
• 802.
