UTStarcom's Knick gets renamed AT&T Quickfire for launch

Well, that mystery didn't take very long to solve. Remember that UTStarcom / PCD-sourced Knick that was getting shown around at some Radio Shack shindig not long ago? It's still very real and very much on the launch docket for AT&T -- but it's now the carrier-branded "Quickfire". Of course, PCD has never been a company to slap its own name on a handset being offered by a network, so the move makes a ton of sense. Right now it's tentatively scheduled to hit stores late this month for $99.99 on a two-year deal in silver, orange, and green, and it looks like it'll support AGPS for those rare instances when you're, say, driving instead of texting.

We got the new Pantech Matrix in today. Talk about a HUGE difference from the Duo. It's much more solid, much faster (to hell w/ putting wm on the duo) & all around a better phone. I may pick it up for the wife. Reminds me of the Ocean but a lot smaller.
