AT&T has announced a new offering, a spring sale that comes with discounts on five “premier” smartphones. Of course, while the sale is real, the term premier comes from AT&T and not us here at TFTS. That said, the prices seem decent, but we are not sure we could classify all five in a premier category.

But to each their own. Anyway, the devices include the Samsung Captivate, BlackBerry Torch 9800, Samsung Focus, LG Quantum and the BlackBerry Curve 3G. In terms of pricing, they phones break down as follows, the Samsung Captivate is $99.99, the BlackBerry Curve 3G is $29.99 and the Torch 9800, Focus and the Quantum are all $49.99.

In terms of the fine print, as you would expect all of the handsets require a two-year agreement with a data plan (which can be the $15 per month plan). Furthermore, the sale pricing can be found online as well as at any of the AT&T company-owned retail stores. Otherwise, while we can tell you the sale is currently in effect, AT&T did not mention when it will be ending.

With that, coming from AT&T, here is the breakdown of the handsets;
