More news: The 3-D phones comes days after AT&T announced a $39billion buyout of Deutsche Telekom's struggling T-Mobile USA Sascha Segan, a reviewer at PC Magazine, tried the phone out at the Mobile World Congress last month and was less than thrilled with it.'I found the 3-D effect to be something of a headache,! ' he wrote in a review.'First of all, the screen is "aquarium" 3-D - it has depth within the screen, it doesn't pop out.
'Second, if you don't hold it at the right distance, some 3-D effects just become a jumble of headache-inducing depth confusion.
'Even without the 3-D, though, this looks to be a powerful dual-core phone,' he added.
