AT&T is phasing out 2G support.
When Golan started out in Israel, they only supported 3G and up (IINM that changed when they dropped the idea of having their own towers, which is a story in an of itself, and probably a violation of the T&C of their operator license).
At 2.5G, what kind of longevity will this phone have?
What we need to see is a sturdy phone, with long battery life, physical keys (preferably QWERTY, think Nokia E72 - which has serious memory management issues) and support for voice and text communications (including WhatsApp and the likes).
