Here is the outlook for the next few months at AT&T.

Motorola V9x
Here we have the new Motorola Z9 coming to AT&T. This looks like a pretty sweet phone - this will be the first non PDA device to offer AT&T Navigator, aka Telenav. Are we seeing the beginning of the era of GPS in standard GSM cell phones? We can only hope! Perhaps this will soon be followed up by GPS kid-tracking systems that you can currently find on CDMA carriers such as Verizon or Sprint.
The Z9 is slated to arrive in stores April 1. Let's see if that comes true.
Here's a new idea (not practical in my opinion, but neat nonetheless). Instead of sticking a mouse in the laptop bag whenever you travel, use your cell phone as a mouse. According to PC World, companies are currently working on making this happen using Bluetooth Technology.
How does it work? According to the article:
"After communicating a cell phone's field of view through a live camera feed to a computer via Bluetooth, the PC establishes the coordinates of its monitor which it sends to a camera phone. Once the camera phone registers the image on the cell phone and recognizes the display coordinates set by the PC through image processing technology, the computer knows exactly what the phone can see, which sets the stage to scroll a PC.
Users can then move the phone or use a stylus on a touch-screen to scroll a PC or move items. The PC and camera phone work together to continuously reposition a PC monitor's coordinates as the phone moves, allowing the cell phone to scroll a PC from any position in a room.
The researchers have developed the software for the Symbian and Windows Mobile OSes for PDAs (personal digital assistants) and camera phones, the researchers said."
