There are a lot to say about the latest release of Apple, bringing new design items, powerful performance and the same best touch experience.

This is surely the best iPhone yet, thanks to its looks, plenty of features inside, improved camera and fast performance.

But in case you are not familiar with the iPhone and you are looking for something slight different, then you can lay your eyes upon HTC Inspire 4G. The pricing is very reasonable, from $19.99-$99.99. As from the name itself, the 4G network is the main attraction, bringing faster data speed. But the large display, Android 2.2 operating system, excellent 8 megapixels camera and fast boot time, make s this phone a worthy competitor. The display has 4.3”, it is bright and crisp and brings up excellent image performance, just what you need for easy navigation. Because a wave of 4G smartphones is about to “attack” the market, we have plenty of such models at AT&T and another one worth mentioning is Motorola Atrix 4G, with a qHD display, dual-core processor, 5 megapixels camera, HDMI port and all running on Android 2.2 operating system. The feature that makes this phone more attractive is the laptop dock. The 4” display is more compact than the previous model.

With a dual-core processor it seems that the boundary between mobile phones and laptops will soon be broken, as a phone is more and more capable of managing advanced tasks and applications you used to manage only on computers so far. Samsung could not stay out of the list, as Galaxy S II has impressed everyone. With a thin design, gorgeous display, dual-core processor, Gingerbread version of Android, good battery life and excellent camera quality, this phone offers what all users need: power and good looks. The screen measures 4.3”, AMOLED plus and a pixel resolution of 800x480. Everything on the screen is sharp and crisp, images look great and text is vibrant. Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the thinnest AT&T smartphones.

For business users we have to mention a Blackberry device and surely Blackberry Torch 9800 knows how to impress. It combines a touch screen and a sliding QWERTY display, runs on Blackberry OS 6, has a 3.2” touch screen and it comes on white and black. And last, we can also include here HTC Status; with a 2.6” touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. For social network fans, the Facebook dedicated share button is the main attraction.

BlackBerry mobile phones are being designed to meet corporate needs and generally users looking for strong messaging and e-mail capabilities. The company is focused now on enlarging its features, thus introducing more and more multimedia options, such as camera with video recording, support for various music files, video and music players, editing options for the camera and so. And since touch screen phones invaded the market, without doubt that BlackBerry tries its best to integrate.

These said, we can notice through AT&T BlackBerry phones the latest release of the company, BlackBerry Torch 9810. The first Torch is 9800 model and it has suffered some sluggish performance, low resolution screen and the camera can only shoot VGA videos. You can find it at AT&T as well and even so, it brings a touch screen and a sliding QWERTY keyboard, with an even weight when the phone is widely opened. BlackBerry fans have much to be thrilled about, as the well-known features remain strong.

And now back to the Torch 9810, as it is the newest model and we have things to say about it. To start with, it features a sharp and colorful display, responsive touch screen, BlackBerry OS 7 with support for augmented-reality applications, liquid Graphics technology, Web browser that suffered some improvements, 1.2 GHz processor, 720p HD video recording and a very attractive price. As you can see, there are a lot of upgrades from the previous mode, but where things stay the same are related to the design, as there are few changes made. The measurements are the same and the main difference is that the new model has a silver paint job instead of a black one and on the back there is no soft-touch finish, but rather a textured plastic. The touch screen has 3.2” and a pixel resolution of 640x480, improved graphics and of course, due to the pixel density, text looks crispier and everything is a lot more colorful. The interface and the overall experience when using the screens turns out to be a lot more responsive, but this is due to the processor and the Liquid Graphics technology. And when it comes to typing, if it is just a little amount you need, then you can use the on-screen keyboard, working both in portrait and landscape mode. When sliding the QWERTY keyboard, the mechanism is smooth, solid and the typing experience is comfortable and nice to use. What BlackBerry OS 7 brings new is the universal search voice function. You just have to tap on the icon to the right and a dialog text with “Listening…” appears for you to speak. And after you are done, just tap “Done” and it will search inside your phone, on Google, Facebook, YouTube, BlackBerry App World and other applications as well.

There are other AT&T BlackBerry phones you can find, as the provider has a lot of models available. Among these we can mention BlackBerry 9700, Curve 8310, and Curve 3G and so. Depending on the model you want, your budget and the data plan you prefer, you can get the one you need. But just to make it clear, AT&T is one of the providers that has both classic phones and the latest releases.

Choosing a service provider when buying a new mobile phone helps you spend less money on it and also get some services that are very useful, especially as we are talking about smartphones. But the deal is that you have to sign a two-year contract and thus you pay for the phone you get on the go, monthly, but at least you don’t feel the cost so highly out of your pocket. AT&T is one of the popular providers people choose and you should know that mobile phones are different when it comes to carriers, as not all of them have the same range of phones. This is also one of the factors you have to take into account if you are looking for a specific model. So, to make things clearer for you, let’s go through some of the AT&T smartphones and you will know afterwards what to aim at.

Let’s start with the best of the best: iPhone 4. This powerful and innovative smartphone is available at AT&T starting from $299. The phone is filled with features for you to enjoy, improvements over design and faster performance inside that make it a worthy competitor. This time, things have changed as the looks are quite different from the previous models. When you look at the phone from the front, you have little chances to distinguish the differences, but when you see it from the sides, you will see that this time things are straight and there is no curved back anymore, but a glass one instead, which the company states to be more durable. The interface packs a lot of applications and utilities and there are lots of pages to scroll through and sometimes it can get hard to find a certain application and to move it around. But let’s move on, as the iPhone 4 is not the single smartphone on the market. AT&T also has HTC Inspire 4G, running on Android, with great value and a more attractive price tag. It features a large display, faster boot time and an 8 megapixels camera that takes amazing pictures. There is no front facing camera and you will need some room to deposit this smartphone as it is quite large and heavy.

Another winning Samsung smartphone is Galaxy S II, with a gorgeous display again, thin design, Gingerbread version of Android, fast performance and good battery life. With its dual-core processor, you will breeze through applications, tasks and handling the internet.

<strong>Motorola Razr</strong> were first made in 2003 and launched on the market in 2004, and it represents a series of clamshell camera phones. It was ranked as a series of fashion phones as well thanks to their thin profile, but only after one year when the price had fallen down the sales began to grow. It was the most popular phone at that time and it sold more than 110 million phones. While Motorola was too concerned on developing this <strong>Razr</strong> series, it lost its position, because its competitors were focused on multimedia features and improved phones with 3G or touchscreen.
