AT&T continues to beef up its smartphone offerings from Apple, Google's Android, Windows Mobile 7 from Microsoft and BlackBerry. Its current crop of smartphones never fails to amaze and push the boundaries of what a phone is. But for those who are comfortable with their phone making and taking calls with the occasional text, AT&T continues to sell feature phones. If you have no interest in streaming videos, watching cute kitten videos or playing games on their phones, there's still a place for your business with the company.

While BlackBerry is the holdout for physical keyboards, the increasing processor speed, responsive touch screens and capacity for music and videos are present on almost all the devices. The only choice to make, then, is what device and operating system fits you best.
