AT&T intros 3G slider from Samsung

AT&T Mobility launched the SGH-a737, new slider phone from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. The carrier and handset manufacturer hope to build on the remarkable success they’ve seen with the SGH-a717 and SGH-a727 phones.
The SGH-a737 comes in four color combinations: black/orange, black/blue, black/red and black/lime. It also offers AT&T’s Video Share, AT&T Mobile Music, stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera with video record, and an external memory microSD slot that will recognize up to 4 gigabytes of storage. Additionally, both companies say the sliding design allows for a larger screen that is ideal for browsing and Video Share calling.
“AT&T’s newest 3G sliding phone is a great addition to our rapidly expanding portfolio of 3G devices,” said Carlton Hill, VP of product development for AT&T Mobility.
The SGH-a737 includes 3G connectivity to AT&T’s BroadbandConnect network in more than 170 major metropolitan areas across the country.
The device is available for $50 with a two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.
