November 20th bringing Samsung DoubleTime, Pantech Pocket and Samsung Captivate Glide to AT&T
Last month, we showed you some new handsets that were making their way through the AT&T process. Three of those models are now set to launch on November 20th according to a tweet from AT&T. Two models from Samsung and one oddball from Pantech will be available next Sunday although no pricing has been set. The Samsung DoubleTime, the Samsung Captivate Glide and the Pantech Pocket will each be released from the carrier.
Not to be confused with the LG Doubleplay, the Samsung DoubleTime is a decidedly low budget affair with a 600MHz Qualcomm processor and a 3.2 inch display with resolution of 320 x 480. There is 260MB of onboard storage and a microSD slot. On back is a 3.2MP camera and the phone is powered by Android 2.2. With its clamshell form factor, the DoubleTime comes with a 2GB microSD card out of the box.
The Samsung Captivate Glide drops the stylized spelling of glide, which was used on the ill-fated Samsung Glyde. While the latter was a featurephone with a slideout QWERTY and a capacitive touchscreen (unusual for a featurephone back in the day), the new Captivate Glide also has a side sliding QWERTY, although this model is equipped with a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen offering WVGA resolution. Under the hood is a dual-core 1GHzNVIDIA Tegra 2 processor with 1GB of RAM. On board is 8GB of native storage that can be expanded to as high as 40GB using a microSD card. An 8MP camera shoots video at 1080p while on front, a 1.3MP shooter takes self portraits and handles video chats. Android 2.3 is installed out of the box.

Finally, the Pantech Pocket will also be launched this coming Sunday for AT&T. With a name like "Pocket" you would expect the device to fit in your, ahem, pocket and this model will. What sets this device apart from other Android smartphones is the 600 x 800 resolution on the 4 inch display. 600MB of native storage comes with the handset and the 5MP camera on back captures 720p video. Android 2.3 is running the show.
