Thats kind of odd. They just featured it in a commercial not that long ago. The one with Pepe Le Pew

Email we got like 3 or 4 hours ago. If you read the email closely it looks like it'll come back when they bring it up to factory standards.Inventory Alert - Quickfire Removed from System XTO: All Sales/SSG Representatives and Managers AT&T has received reports that the Quickfire GTX75 is not meeting AT&T’s minimum performance expectations and all sales should be immediately suspended.

Everything! I work in the Warranty dept for AT&T and every other call is about this phone messing up! Mostly the touchscreen.

Appalling phone, appalling service. I bought a Quickfire in late November 2008. Within a couple of weeks, the phone wouldn't charge. Went back to the store and they gave me a new charger (but it took a week). Phone still wouldn't charge. I was then told to call the AT&T warranty number. They sent a new phone in January. Within a few weeks, the touch screen on the replacement malfunctioned. We called AT&T again and this time they sent us a refurbished phone. Within 3 days that malfunctioned (try to change the wallpaper, the phone shuts down). I've spent literally hours on hold with AT&T Customer Service and hours at their at their authorized phone store (Apex Telecom) trying to get a refund on this phone and they refuse to refund my money, even though the reps have admitted that there have been lots of complaints with this phone. I paid $99.99 for the Quickfire with a 2-yr contract. AT&T will only give me a Propel or Matrix ($49.99 and 79.99 with a 2 yr contract, respectively) and won't let me end the contract. Additionally, if I accept one of these "replacement" phones, the warranty on it will start from the date I first purchased the Quickfire (Nov 2008).
