On Sunday, wireless carrier AT&T has made two new mobile phones, the HTC Aria and the Pantech Ease, available for purchase. Both handsets were previously announced as being on their way to the wireless services provider, and those interested in making a new purchase from the company have two new devices to choose from.

The HTC Aria is an Android-based handset, touted as a mid-range smartphone. The device comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that boasts an HVGA resolution, coupled with a 5-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus, support for 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi capabilities, and other features more. Running under Google's Android 2.1 operating system, the new device also packs inside the HTC Sense user experience.

The price tag at which this Android-based device is available at AT&T is of $129.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a mail-in rebate. Those interested in trying the new device from AT&T should head over to the carrier's website to make a purchase, but they should find the device available in the carrier's stores too.

As for the second new mobile phone AT&T has just made available for its users, the Pantech Ease, it comes as a full-touch handset aimed mainly at messaging enthusiasts on the carrier's network. The new device comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display that boasts a WQVGA resolution, complemented by a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and by a 2 megapixel photo snapper. A 1000 mAH battery packed inside it offers up to 5 hours of talk time or up to 15 days of standby time.

The Pantech Ease was made available at AT&T with a price tag of $69.99 attached to it (after the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate). Considering that the device comes with support for the carrier's 3G network, along with Bluetooth connectivity, GPS receiver, or microSD card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space, it is worth every penny. It is available on AT&T's website here.
