CTIA 2009 kicks off this week in Las Vegas and today AT&T Mobility launched six new phones focused on messaging and email, cementing its focus on quick-messaging phones.Saying that text messaging and email are the "killer app" for data usage, the carrier unveiled a lineup of phones ranging from Nokia E71x smartphone to the low-cost Samsung Magnet."Smartphones and quick messaging phones are no longer for early-adopters and text-happy teens," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "The ability to text often, or check your email from a phone is easy and more customers demand these features. These phones are a great addition to our best-in-class lineup and we can't wait to get them in our customers' hands in the coming weeks."You can check out pics of the phones here, or read below for brief overviews of the new devices.
