14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier AT&T will soon flood its airwaves with a series of new mobile phones that will run under Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system, and, though the phones made the headlines a few times before (we're referring here to Tilt 2 and Touch Diamond2), no exact pricing for them emerged until now. Along with them, a device that went quite silent lately is also expected to be launched, namely the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60.
Starting with what seems to be the most exciting part of the news, the pricing for Tilt 2 seems to have been unveiled. According to a recent article on BGR, the handset is expected to be priced at $299.99 on a contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate. The phone is already available with T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, and its price tag ranges from $199 (with the latter) to $350 (with Sprint). Although it was expected (read hoped) to cost less, the Tilt 2 still remains a great option even at this price.
Along with the Touch Pro2, AT&T is also expected to intro the Touch Diamond2, under the name of Pure, and with a price tag set at $149.99 on a contract and after the aforementioned MIR. The full retail price tags for the two devices would rise up to $499.99 and $349.99, respectively, for those who would prefer purchasing them this way.
As for the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60, it should become available with AT&T for a price of $299.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $100 MIR. If purchased without a service agreement, the device should cost $549.99, which is rather high. Unfortunately, no details on the launch date for this phone emerged, nor on the release of Touch Diamond2, though they might land shortly. As for the Tilt 2, you should already know that it is expected to become available on October 18.
