AT&T
Quickfire

The AT&T Quickfire (model number: GTX75) was a 3G-capable phone manufactured by UT Starcomm. It was part of a portfolio of four “Quick Messaging Phones” offered by AT&T that were “designed to make messaging faster and easier than ever before”. It had a qwerty side-slider design with a 1.3-megapixel camera and was available in two colours, orange and silver or lime and silver. The model in the Mobile Phone Museum is the orange and silver variant. The user interface allowed messages to be read in portrait and landscape mode. Users could also download music via Napster Mobile and eMusic Mobile. It also had a 30-day free subscription to AT&T Navigator, which provided turn-by-turn directions. In February 2009 the phone was recalled by AT&T due to a potential fire risk from the charger if the adaptor was inserted incorrectly. This was resolved and the phone returned to the shelves in June 2009.
