We noticed this on AT&T’s web store in the wee hours this morning, and sure enough, they’ve gone ahead and declare the LG Incite in all its official glory today (normally the announcement comes before the web store stuff, but whatever). It’s got WiFi, a 3-megapixel camera, a 3-inch touchscreen equipped with haptics and 400 x 240 resolution, AT&T Navigator, microSD support up to 16GB, triband HSDPA, and Windows Mobile 6.1 — in other words, LG’s produced a nice QWERTY-less foil to the Fuze in this place. It’s available straight away in stores, too, as long as you’re willing to shell out the $199.99 on contract after rebates.

The long, agonizing wait for Alltel to come clean with this gem is over. Starting today, subscribers can phone up the carrier with questions about the Touch Diamond and receive a response other than “Whatcha talkin’ ’bout Willis?” ‘Course, it’s no shock whatsoever to see this Windows Mobile 6.1-based handset surface on the soon-to-be-Verizon’s network, but those who’ve been waiting patiently will be utterly stoked to know that you can at this time plop down $249.99 (after all rebates and a 2-year agreement) in order to take one home.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Perhaps “Sangria” was just a little too alcoholic for a teen-oriented device? Samsung’s sliding QWERTY dumbphone for AT&T has been christened “Propel,” it seems — and we’ve at this time gotten the word from two independent sources, so we’re feeling pretty good about it. Until AT&T changes its mind, anyway. The phone looks halfway decent, appears to support AT&T Navigation, and at the $80 we’re hearing AT&T will be asking for it out the door on contract after rebates, they could sell pretty well — especially when you consider that they’ll be available in red, green, and blue.
