AT&T iPhone rival gets name, date?

AT&T's version of the CU920, a relative of the Prada phone, may already have more specfic release information. An accessory vendor is claiming to have learned that the 920 (misidentified as the Prada) will ship to AT&T in the first quarter of 2008, overshooting a December 2007 release date. It will furthermore be given a different name under its new carrier, the "Vu2."

Preceding or accompanying the release of the Vu2 will of course be the "Vu," what is said to be a modified LG Shine. AT&T is reported to be altering the Shine's user interface, a statement that may be supported by other accounts. These changes are claimed to have delayed the Vu past an intended September release date, though no new date is given. [via JAVOedge Blog]
