However, we noticed that we did have to be quite precise about what our fingers were pressing sometimes we would be pressing the wrong menu item, for example. The same thing goes for scrolling through menus light finger swipes will do the trick. The screen doesn't require a hard press to activate something, just a light press will do. As you might expect, this results in a very intuitive and responsive touch interface. This sort of touch screen is similar to the one used on the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1, in that the screen uses the electrons from your finger to complete circuitry, which is why you can't use a stylus (for more detail, see this Wikipedia article). The overall style of the Quickfire is rather blocky and clunky, and its hefty 4.8 ounce weight adds to that impression.ĭominating the front surface of the Quickfire is its main attraction: a 2.8-inch, diagonal, capacitive touch-screen interface. Measuring 4.3 inches long by 2.2 inches wide by 0.7 inch thick, it's even a little thicker than the Sidekick, albeit a bit smaller in size.

Like the Sidekick Slide, the Quickfire slides open to reveal a full QWERTY board, and also like the Sidekick, the Quickfire is on the bulky side. It's easy to see why the Quickfire does have a similar form factor to the Sidekick, with the large, wide screen in the middle and bezels to the left and right (or top and bottom depending on your perspective). When the Quickfire first appeared in public, many people described it as a clone of the T-Mobile Sidekick. The AT&T Quickfire is available now for only $99.99 with a two-year service agreement. Sure it loses a few style points here and there, but its functionality and feature set more than makes up for it. And not just any touch screen, either the Quickfire uses a capacitive touch screen, similar to the one used on the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1, which results in a very intuitive and responsive experience. But the new AT&T Quickfire (made by UTStarcom and distributed by PCD) takes it up a notch with not only a full QWERTY keyboard, but a touch-screen interface as well.
All of them come with full QWERTY keyboards to facilitate easier texting, and some of them have more features than others. Plenty of messaging phones have come our way lately, with clamshell models like the LG Lotus from Sprint to square slider models like the Verizon Wireless Blitz.
