What are the top 3 smartphones from AT&T?

From Matthew Miller.

AT&T

Apple iPhone 4

There is likely a new Apple iPhone coming this fall, but until now the one year old Apple iPhone 4 is still an excellent smartphone choice on AT&T. This year you can also pick one up in white and it will be upgradeable to the iOS 5 update coming out in the next few months.

AT&T made some major changes to their pricing plans after the release of the iPhone 4 so that now there is a 2GB cap on data with the ability to also tether for another $20 per month. Each additional GB of data cost $10/month. There are additional charges for text messaging other services, like AT&T Navigator.

Price: $299 for 32GB and $199 for 16GB with 2-year contract

Samsung Infuse 4G

AT&T may have been a bit slow to launch Android devices, but they have a good selection now and it was tough to choose between this Samsung Infuse 4G or the HTC Inspire 4G, but I went with the larger more brilliant display for my choice. The Infuse 4G has a whopping 4.5 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, runs Android 2.2, has an 8 megapixel camera, and is the thinnest 4G smartphone at just 8 mm thick.

The Infuse 4G comes with a very large 1750 mAh battery, internal 18 GB storage, and microSD card so you can load this bad boy up with storage memory. It supports AT&T’s HSPA+ network too. Customer reviews are overwhelmingly positive and the Infuse 4G looks like a definite winner on AT&T.
Price: $199.99 with 2-year contract

Samsung Focus


I am a major Windows Phone 7 fan and think people need to actually try one of these devices to appreciate how good it really is. The great thing about the existing lineup, like the Samsung Focus, is that they will get upgraded to Windows Phone Mango soon and that OS update is wonderful on the Samsung Focus.

The Focus has a brilliant 4 inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen that is extremely responsive. The 5 megapixel camera takes decent photos and there is a lot to like in Windows Phone 7 with Xbox LIVE gaming, Zune Pass music services, Bing Search integration, and so much more.
Price: $49.99 with 2-year contract
