AT&T's SMT5700 Smartphone Revealed on FCC Website
|
|
"Whoa, what do we have here? First up, this is the first smartphone (thought not the first phone) we've seen with the new AT&T branding. Second, this is the first partnership of which we're aware between China's Amoi and an American carrier. Third -- and perhaps most importantly -- the QWERTY-equipped Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone evokes the storied "SMT" model series which long ago served up the original AT&T Wireless' SMT5600, considered by some to be the first truly usable Smartphone device sold stateside, though the addition of the full keypad on the 5700 puts it in a slightly different category"
There has been talk of a follow up to the original SMT5600 for a while now and it looks like there was actually something to that talk. It's great to see more devices and more selection from the North American carriers. The specs aren't very clear at this point. It looks like it might be Windows Mobile 5 and lack 3G support. Hopefully that's incorrect and this device will be a ground breaking unit - just like it's younger brother was. You can read up on this device thanks to the FCC filing.
