of the AT&T Quickfire™, the final of four new quick messaging mobile phones designed to make messaging faster and easier than ever before. The Quickfire was developed for AT&T by Personal Communications Devices LLC (PCD).

A slider boasting an interactive touch screen, 1.3 megapixel camera and full QWERTY keypad, the AT&T Quickfire is a 3G world phone that can read messages in portrait or landscape mode and also download music over AT&T's 3G network with Napster Mobile and eMusic Mobile. Quickfire also features AT&T Navigator, which provides turn-by-turn directions and is available with a 30-day free trial⁽¹⁾.

AT&T's new quick messaging devices are already popular with customers, allowing everyone from newbie messengers to textaholics to send text, picture, video and instant messages with ease.

"The AT&T Quickfire is perfect for texting fans who let their thumbs do the talking and want the benefit of a full keypad but don't need corporate e-mail access or other business features," said Mark Collins, vice president of Voice and Data Services for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.

All quick messaging phones are compatible with AT&T's messaging plans that offer 200, 1,500 and unlimited messaging for $5, $15 and $20, respectively. AT&T FamilyTalk® plan customers can get unlimited messaging for all lines for $30.

Users can also browse and purchase thousands of apps, games, ringtones, graphics and other mobile content in the AT&T MEdia Mall, available from their handsets and also online at www.att.com/mediamall.
