Samsung A717 the new Sync?



The Samsung A717 was released recently through AT&T and there is an interesting amount of excitement that has been brewing about this device. Engadget is already calling it the new Sync (okay, they're just saying they've pushed the Sync out of their minds completely), even though they're sold side by side and we don't see the Syncs disappearing anytime soon. Obviously one major difference is the price; why get a phone with almost all of the same features and a tiny front LCD for $149, when in some markets you can get the Sync for $24.99 with new contract?

So, let's find out how the A717 fares. First, the main features: This phone will soon be featuring Video Share; has a 2 MP adjustable camera, A2DP stereo bluetooth, microSD, HSDPA, and is slightly thinner than the Sync.

As for reviews, those will follow in the near future. I haven't found any yet! Though this phone has already been released, nobody seems very eager to review it. I'm not sure if that's a good sign....

Samsung A437 to replace C417

Just got word today that the C417 will be departing from AT&T stores in the near future, to make room for a new model called the A437. Very little is known about this phone. I've had the opportunity to look and handle it once, but I can't find any pictures on the web, and can only find a vague specs sheet from Samsung. I do know for sure that it has EDGE and at least a VGA camera, if not better.

If anybody has additional information please share!

Samsung A717 available June 3!



The new Samsung A717 on AT&T is ready to hit the stores! With 3G, 2 MP camera, Video Record, A2DP for stereo bluetooth use, this is the second phone for the big blue globe that features Video Share (though the actual service is not yet available on the network).

One thing I find interesting is the front of the phone, which showcases a tiny external screen. This is an interesting change, considering the outside screen on most new phones continues to get larger and clearer.

The official release date is this Sunday, June 3.

The Nokia 6126 for AT&T and 6133 for T-Mo are innovative new clamshells from Nokia. They are great for the lazies who want a flip phone but don't want to use the extra energy to actually flip it open. The solution: throw on a button on the outside of the phone that will flip it open for you!
