Samsung's pill-shaped a637 medicates AT&T

We still don't know quite what to make of the a637's design -- it's definitely a departure from everything we've seen out of Sammy for AT&T in recent memory, and really, a departure across its entire international lineup. You definitely can't fault 'em for trying something fresh, though, and "fresh" is exactly how we'd describe this pale, rounded little number. It's got AT&T Navigation, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, stereo Bluetooth, and a 1.3-megapixel cam, so you can't exactly call it low-end (well, maybe the camera part, you can), and the $50 on-contract price after rebates is a breath of fresh air for a phone with this kind of torrential download capability. It's available now; just don't swallow it or... well, you know.
