According to Hank Kafka, vice president of network architecture for AT&T Mobility, the company plans to upgrade its entire 3G network to HSPA (7.2Mbps) by the end of 2008.

AT&T had 255 markets covered by HSDPA in the end of 2007, and expects to have 350 major metropolitan markets running HSPA before the beginning of 2009.

AT&T announced the availability of the Motorola Z9, the slider variant of the RAZR2 V9.

The phone comes in a deep burgundy color and features a 2Mpix camera, integrated GPS, microSD slot for additional memory and an MP3 player.

The carrier offers the Moto Z9 for $149.99 after an on-line discount and a 2-year service agreement.

AT&T has just launched Sony Ericsson’s new HSDPA-capable Z750a clamshell phone.

Apparently, the launch of the anticipated RIM BlackBerry 9000 will be delayed until July or August, instead of late May as previously rumored.

AT&T has just announced the Samsung Access, the first phone to support the carrier's new Mobile TV service.

This is a 3G candy bar cell phone featuring a 2.3" widescreen display, dedicated TV button, stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, external speakers, and a 1.3Mpix camera.

The phone will be released in May.

The LG Vu phone for AT&T, which was supposed to be launched yesterday, will most likely be released on Monday, as the carrier has already distributed promo materials in the stores.

We certainly hope there will be no more delays.

RIM BlackBerry fans in the U.S. will be happy to hear that AT&T has finally started selling the good old BlackBerry Pearl 8120.
