AT&T’s LG Quantum Windows Phone now available Online
|So one week ago we had the launch of the Microsoft Windows Phone devices from AT&T with the Samsung Focus and HTC Surround, and the T-Mobile HTC HD7. Not available at launch was the LG Quantum from AT&T, the only Windows Phone device so far that has a physical keyboard. LG has announced to day that the Quantum is now available online at AT&T.com. Priced at $499.99 without any commitments or $199.99 with a two year contract, you can now place your order.
So what do you think about the LG Quantum? The Samsung Focus has been the hot seller so far and the HTC Surround has been a pleasant surprise for a lot of folks including Mobility Digest’s own Jimski and Matt. Will see if the LG Quantum can find a place between the Focus and the Surround.

anyone getting one?
I checked my store today and it still isn’t there. But- Windows Phone 7 has been much more prominently displayed in the store. The main island with the ‘try me’ phones has WP7 right there when you walk in! Lots of posters everywhere, too.. Much better than a week ago..
Can’t wait to try the Quantum.. I’ve been playing with the Focus and Surround, but really want a physical keyboard.. Portrait virtual keyboards are too cramped, though the landscape ones are better.. Once I can play with all 3 phones in the store, then I’ll make my decision.. Hopefully then they will have the memory card issue ironed out..
prefect phone for the wifey.
Perfect phone for me. Just called my local AT&T store and they have it!
