Galaxy S6 Edge teaser image from AT&T promises Spring launch

Samsung seems to be doing a unified push for the Galaxy S6 campaign, the "Six Appeal." First, a shadowy image of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge appeared from T-Mobile, glowing in the carrier's trademark magenta color. Now AT&T has joined with an almost identical image with a blue hue.

This image has "Spring 2015" written on the bottom, unlike the T-Mobile picture, which had nothing. Earlier we saw cases for the new flagship that will ship on March 15 and Spring begins on March 21 this year, so this may not be far off. Still, AT&T could launch the Galaxy S6 Edge at any time over the next three months.

While the launch date is still not certain, the Samsung team is probably already packing their bags for Barcelona where they will unveil the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge (perhaps other stuff too) on March 1.

BlackBerry Passport and Classic out at AT&T on February 20

Today AT&T has surely made some BlackBerry fans happy. The carrier finally decided to unveil its release date for both the BlackBerry Passport and the Classic. It's going to be February 20, so we're just a few days away from these devices' debut at a US carrier.

Elsewhere they've been available for months, but soon you'll have the option to purchase one of them even if you love long-term contracts with carriers.

AT&T first said it would carry the Passport back in September of 2014, so this has been a very long time coming. The Canadian smartphone maker even redesigned that handset just for AT&T, giving it rounded corners at the specific request of the carrier.

The Passport will be offered by AT&T for $199.99 with a classic two-year agreement, or $649.99 without a contract. If you use the company's Next installment scheme, you pay $0 upfront, then followed by either 20 monthly payments of $32.50, or 24 monthly installments of $27.09, or 30 monthly payments of $21.67.

The BlackBerry Classic will cost $49.99 with a new two-year service agreement, or $419.99 with no annual commitment. With Next, once again you pay $0 down, and then you can choose between the same three installment plans. If you opt for the shortest, you'll hand out $21 per month for 20 months. Or there's the option of paying $17.50 per month for 24 months, or $14 each month for 30 months.

AT&T's LG G3 is receiving the Android Lollipop update too

AT&T has started rolling out the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop for the LG G3 units that it's sold. This follows the rollout of the new software for G3 models from other parts of the world, which started last year.

If you have an AT&T G3, it should soon notify you that an update is available to download and install, if it hasn't done so already.

The file you need to grab comes in at around 690MB, and after performing the five-minute installation procedure your phone will be running Android 5.0.1, software version D85020f, build number LRX21Y.

If you haven't received the update notification yet, you can always manually make the smartphone check for it by using the relevant part of the Settings menu.

Samsung Galaxy S5 for AT&T gets Android 4.4.4

Android 4.4.4 KitKat is now seeding to Samsung Galaxy S5 for AT&T over-the-air. The new OS build brings a number of features to the SM-G900A headed by support for VoLTE.

Security updates, bug fixes, and other improvements are also part of the update. HD voice capability, AT&T service additions, and preinstalled Uber app round up all the highlights.

Considering that Samsung Galaxy S5 for Verizon Wireless began receiving Android 5.0 Lollipop yesterday, we find it it a tad surprising that its AT&T sibling lags so far behind with the OS updates. Here’s hoping that the SM-G900 won’t stay with Android 4.4.4 for too long.

AT&T to offer $100 bill credit for the Samsung Galaxy Alpha on Next program

AT&T has launched a new limited-time offer that will net you a $100 bill credit on every purchase of a Samsung Galaxy Alpha. However, as with any offer, there are some caveats: the offer is limited only to online orders, and you need to purchase the device through the carrier’s Next program.

For those who aren’t aware, the AT&T Next program allows you to purchase a device with no down payment and then pay for it in monthly installments ranging from $15 to $50 per month depending on the device. After paying a minimum number of installments, you can trade in your device (in good working condition) and upgrade to a brand-new one.

The company says those customers who “remain in good standing” will receive the credit within 3 months. The offer is valid till today.
