Samsung's affordable 3G multimedia slider begins selling in AT&T stores today, offering Video Share and a large screen.
AT&T and Samsung today announced the availability of the Samsung SGH-a737. An ultra-thin sliding phone with multimedia and entertainment features, the a737 builds on the recently reviewed Samsung SGH-a717 and a727 phones.
The a737 is a lightweight device available in four color combinations: black/orange, black/blue, black/red and black/lime. The a737 also offers AT&T features and services, including Video Share, AT&T Mobile Music, stereo Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel camera with video record, microSD slot with support for cards up to 4GB and a range of messaging options. The sliding design allows for a larger screen, which can be used for tasks such as browsing, viewing photos and Video Share calling.
Because the a737 supports AT&T's Video Share service, users can share one-way live video while participating in a voice call. Both customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone. Users can also send messages to friends and families any way they choose with text messaging, Mobile E-mail, AOL, Yahoo! and Windows Live Instant Messaging.
AT&T Mobile Music allows customers to use Napster and eMusic to load music on the handset. The a737 supports over-the-air music downloads through eMusic Mobile, and other services including Music ID, XM Radio and music video viewing. Inside the a737, users will have 3G and EDGE connectivity as well as a 50 MB shared memory.
Samsung claims a talk time of up to 3 hours, and the a737 weighs in at 3.16 ounces and measures 3.9 by 1.9 by 0.6 inches.
The Samsung SGH-a737 is available now for $50 with a two-year contract and a $50 mail-in rebate.
