In Store: Samsung a737

In stores now, Samsung a737, this hip little slider slid in today. Covered earlier, this phone is a deal at $50. Blue only right now, but the rest should be coming soon. Didn't get too much time to play with it, but seems like a pretty solid phone. One gripe though, playing with some of Samsung's other a7x7's that have had brilliant screens, this one seems almost lacking. 18 bit color and 176x220 (same as the D807) sounds a lot better than it looks. No big surprises here, although it does come with a headphone adapter, ( Thanks AT&T!). On a side note, RadioShack apparently will have an exclusive on the red a737.

Update: Orange and green are in!

Confirmed: Samsung A737

AT&T will be launching a new Samsung Slider into it's lineup this holiday season. The Samsung A737 will be sold for $49.99 (after $50 mail in) and will come in 3 colors; blue, orange and lime. Specs seem to look as follows, HSDPA, 1.3 MP camera, A2DP, Video Share (AT&T really thinks that's going to catch on don't they?). Hopefully this holds up a bit better than the D807, because these will sell like crazy, especially with some nice color choices for consumers.

Confirmed: Price List for new releases

AT&T will be releasing a slew of Data Devices (And handsets) in the next month or so, and here is pricing for the new stuff.

This is just what was supposed to be slotted for release before 11/3, There is more coming, like the recently confirmed Blackjack 2, LG Shine, LG Prada, HIGHLY rumored Palm Centro (Or possibly another Windows Mobile based Palm), and even more rumored Nokia N95!

• Samsung A737- $49.99 (After $50 rebate)
• RIM 8820- $299.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data)
• AT&T 5700- $69.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Pantech Duo- $249.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Motorola Q9 global- $299.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Samsung A747- $149.99 (After $50 rebate)
• SonyEricsson z750- $99.99 (After $50 rebate)
• LG CU720- $149.99 (After $50 rebate)

My 2 cents worth, AT&T knows the money is in data devices, whether or not consumers want to drop $40 a month to use them is another thing. If AT&T wants these devices to sell they need to start looking at adopting iPhone-esc data plans or better yet helio data plans to attract young consumers. More on this later.
