AT&T, one of the largest U.S. cell phone carriers has annouced a $99 promotion for the red Blackberry Curve, red Samsung Blackjack II, and the red LG Shine.

The Blackberry Curve is a favorite among Blackberry addicts with its awesome QWERTY keyboard and of course, now there is GPS! The LG Shine is a strong competitor in the style battle with its sleek stainless steel look and 2.2″ LCD screen.

Of course, the Samsung Blackjack II is the new upcoming phone from AT&T that is the successor to the beloved original Blackjack. It features all of the usual luxuries including a 2.0 megapixel camera and built in GPS.

Pick them up for $99 with a 2 year contract. These are great deals especially for the Blackberry and the Samsung. $99 for phones originally $300-$400.

LG says replace phone with a watch!

LG Watch

LG at the on-going Consumer Electronics Show, has put on display an LG Phone Watch! The watch is obviously for show and is a concept but it is indicitive of what is to come.

I see LG has put in a lot more work than Sony and other small Chinese brands for their watches as I see more implementation of messaging along with other necessities to fully use a watch as a phone.

From the pictures, the navigation method is not touch screen but a scroll log ala LG Shine. Pricing was not annouced but I expect it would be a lot cheaper since there is no watch brand associated with the product such as Tag Huer or Prada.
