Here is my new cell phone that I renewed my AT&T 2 year contract:
Samsung Infuse 4G Android Phone (AT&T)
New AT&T HSPA+ Phone
When originally it came out in May - June, this was one of the first HSPA+ phones from AT&T along with the HTC Inspire. It also rocked the largest touchscreen ever (4.5 inches) at the time.
AT&T started airing their (in)famous Giant Tarantula TV spots. A friend of mine raved about it and had been following it for quite some time before its release. He got it the first week that it came out for $200. I waited about a month, before I finally felt it was time to let go of my old Nokia e71x and just upgrade. Update: Now you can buy it for $50 or less online.
