Sharp FX Plus now on AT&T's site for Go Phone

[CeluGeek]

It says "only online", and here I thought you could walk into an AT&T store and buy any non-iPhone and non-BlackBerry phone at the no-contract price and stick your SIM in, but whatever...

Has anyone tried this phone? It seems this may be the closest to an "AT&T Avail with a keyboard" I'll get, although with my luck I'll buy one and the next month AT&T releases the "Avail Slide". But I'd like to hear impressions beyond those of tech bloggers who always crave for bleeding edge hardware and can't help but bash phones with basic specs. I have an idea of what the FX Plus' hardware won't do. The question is if what it does, does it do it well?

I think the F/X Plus was a Wal Mart exclusive. No idea when the exclusive periord expired, though.

AT&T has for $300 on GoPhone, or free on contract.

$300 for Android 2.2 ... Haha, that's good stuff they're smoking. This is $99 tops in my book.

Only found a single review thus far. Seems to be an average Android device, definitely way overpriced.

I didn't say I'd buy it from them. I got one at half that price from a certain auctions website. I agree, AT&T should not be charging more than $200 for that phone.
