AT&T Flat Call Rate $50 In United States Starts In San Francisco

For the last 24 hours, news has been spreading across the blogosphere via Engadget of the flat call rate of AT&T. It costs $50 per month for unlimited call. The requirements are that you live in San Francisco, and already been a subscriber of AT&T for 22 months, with "good standing". I suppose it simply means you always pay the bill on time, and an average user in terms of the monthly billing value.

It is still unknown whether this flat rate will continue to spread to other major cities nationwide. The era of mass telecommunication service has truly began with this lowered cost, as previously Boost also offered the same flat rate. In the future, data transfer is likely to be the source of revenue for carriers. Well, San Franciscoers better be happy for this, as they can spend hours and hours in their cell with their loved ones! Yaay!! :)

Pantech Matrix Pro with Dual Keypad from AT&T

Fancy keyboards-in-smartphones trend began after HTC Tytn II. Nokia N97 follows suit. But behold, if you think horizontal body-sliding keypad is cool, then watch the upcoming Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T. It has dual keypad, yes your eyes do not fool you.

More detailed speaking, Pantech Matrix Pro from AT&T hosts dual keypad, the alphanumeric keypad, and the full blown QWERTY keypad. The alphanumeric slides down from the phone just like common sliders. No big news here. But combined into this device is the body side-sliding full blown QWERTY keypad. Two keypads format in one gadget. This is a truly innovation.

Check out the pics.

The ordinary alphanumeric.
The elegant side sliding QWERTY keypad.

Apparently it will have Windows Mobile 6.5 under the hood. Also AT&T Navigator promises turn-by-turn GPS guide. Hm...but wait, the camera, only 2MP CMOS? Oh God, that's not we want to hear. At least todays smartphones must use 3 MP camera to respect its own brand. Even teenagers' INQ1 sports 3MP camera on board.

Let's see how this guy rocks when it finally arrives for AT&T. Let's hope it delivers reliable speed and performance.
