Samsung C417 drops on Cingular

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 6th 2006 at 5:47AM

Just a month after making a cameo on the FCC's website, it seems Samsung's SGH-C417 has started to filter into the hands of Cingular customers -- at least in some randomly allocated parts of the country. Not much to get excited about, but the thinnish flip brings a decent spec sheet to the table considering its budget price, namely an external display, Bluetooth, and the customary (albeit nearly useless) VGA shooter. At $49.99 on contract, we can see the C417 finding its way into a comfortable niche on Cingular's low end, but c'mon guys, we shouldn't have to pay a red cent for an internal antenna, should we?
