Samsung a227 now offered by AT&T, sort of

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 21st 2008 at 4:15AM

AT&T appears to be fiddling around with its online store pages for this one, because we're not finding it outside of the business-to-business at the moment. Do we care, though? Do you? The SGH-a227 from Samsung is about as basic an offering as you're going to find on American Telephone & Telegraph at the moment, serving up a hot pile of EDGE data, 160 x 128 internal and 96 x 96 monochrome external displays, and a speakerphone. That's it -- no camera, no crazy haptics, and at $9.99 on contract, virtually no expense. Sammy throws in a true HTML browser, though without 3G, it's of somewhat limited use. Odds are you can find this one floating around in stores now, otherwise, we'd expect it to be back on AT&T's main site in the not-too-distant future.

Head's up, Chris. Typo:

"Odds are you can find this one floating ***aroudn**** in stores now, otherwise, we'd expect it to be back on AT&T's main site in the not-too-distant future."

Then again, this phone deserves a post with a typo in it. I say leave. It'll be your creative mark.
