Since it has a full keyboard, the side buttons are minimal and include volume buttons, camera button, voice dialing button and a power on/key lock combo button on top of the phone. At 4.3 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches and 4.8 ounces, it’s still pocketable assuming loose pants. The AT&T Quickfire is a rather thick phone, about the same thickness as the T-Mobile Sidekick and thicker than the T-Mobile G1. The AT&T Quickfire doesn’t have the shoulder keys often found on landscape slider QWERTY phones like the Samsung Rant and SideKick, but many applications offer on-screen soft keys that function like shoulder keys. They are conveniently located at the lower right corner. There isn’t a d-pad on the AT&T Quickfire but there are four directional keys for line scrolling as well as page up and down controls. The number keys are grouped to the center-right of the keyboard, and require an FN press. The four-row keyboard’s keys are large enough to work well with fingertips or fingernails, but broad-fingered folks might have some trouble. We found the keyboard decent, though the keys are small and don’t have gobs of travel. Slide the screen up to reveal the QWERTY keyboard and the screen automatically switches to landscape mode. This doesn’t present serious problems in most applications except in games. Despite the touch screen, there isn’t an on-screen keyboard since the Quickfire has a hardware keyboard. That said, it’s by no means bad on the AT&T Quickfire. This is a resistive touch screen (unlike the iPhone’s capacitive touch screen but like most other touch screen phones), and the screen is a little laggy responding to touch unlike the Samsung Eternity’s responsive touch screen. The only handicap is the screen’s surprisingly limited viewing angle which makes it harder to share photos or videos with friends. We do like the size of the screen for watching videos and viewing messages and web sites. The display dominates the front of the phone with only the call send, call end and an application launcher button below it. It’s a GSM quad-band world phone with tri-band 3G (850/1900/2100MHz) that works on AT&T and overseas GSM networks.Ĭompared to other full QWERTY feature phones released for this season, the AT&T Quickfire has a large display with QVGA resolution and 260K colors. The AT&T Quickfire (model number: UTStarcom GTX75G), is made by PCD (Personal Communication Devices), formerly UTStarcom. It’s aimed at the youth market and just might wean those teens away from their SideKicks (assuming they aren’t now hooked on the T-Mobile G1).

The AT&T Quickfire comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, built-in Bluetooth with A2DP support and has support for most IM services and web-based email. With a nod to the T-Mobile Sidekick, the AT&T Quickfire has a large 2.8” touch screen (though slide up not flip over like the Sidekick2008), a very useable keyboard, built-in GPS what works with AT&T’s TeleNav and music and video players with Napster Mobile and AT&T CV support. The AT&T Quickfire is one of the four feature phones offered by AT&T this season that come with a full keyboard. While the BlackBerry Storm has done away with the hardware keyboard, there are plenty of smartphones ( HTC Fuze, Samsung Epix) and feature phones ( Samsung Propel, LG Lotus, Verizon Blitz to name a few) offering a full QWERTY keyboard to texting and email fanatics.

This holiday season, mobile phones with full QWERTY keyboards crowd the wireless market. Reviewed Decemby Tong Zhang, Senior Editor Home -> AT&T Phone Reviews -> AT&T Quickfire (UTStarcom GTX75G) AT&T Quickfire
