Mobile phone carrier AT&T has just announced plans to make new Windows Phones available for purchase on its airwaves starting with November 6th, and the carrier also changed the offering previously available for its Windows Phones.

Thus, two of the devices that were previously available on the carrier's lineup with Windows Phone on board were added to its GoPhone lineup, namely the Samsung Focus and the HTC HD7S smartphones.

One week from now, two new Windows Phone devices from Samsung will become available for purchase for AT&T's customers, namely the Samsung Focus S and the Focus Flash, both on monthly contracts from the wireless carrier.

However, those who would like to enjoy a Windows Phone on the wireless carrier's airwaves but do not want to commit to contract agreement can opt for one of the aforementioned GoPhone devices.

At the moment, only the HTC HD7S is available for purchase on the wireless carrier's website, as the Samsung Focus is listed as out of stock.

Both Windows Phones are appealing devices, capable of providing users with access to various services available for the mobile OS, as well as with access to applications and games downloadable via the Android Market.

Samsung Focus landed on shelves with a 4" Super-Amoled screen, a fast application processor, 8 GB of internal memory, and a 5.0 megapixels photo snapper on the back with support for video recording.

The mobile phone also sports 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, as well as a 1500 mAh battery that can deliver up to 6.5 hours of talk time or up to 10.4 days of standby time.

The HTC HD7S arrived at AT&T earlier this year, after being launched in the United States as the HD7 on the airwaves of T-Mobile.

The handset features a large 4.3-inch screen, 5.0 megapixels photo snapper, 16 GB of internal memory, and enhanced connectivity capabilities.

Both the HTC HD7S and the Samsung Focus can be seen on AT&T's website here.
