High-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network: The
dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network provides up to 3.6/7.2 Mbps of download speed, making it
possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the
advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not
available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in
more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average
data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data
services, including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email
on the go.
The full-featured, premium AT&T Navigator GPS navigation application includes audible
turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps
(additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your
commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally,
AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech

AT&T's Video Share service enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another
compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction
of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the
company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) While using Video Share with
family and friends is a fun way to communicate, it's also very useful for business. For example, a
majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to
share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video
Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an
office or other site to do so.
