Samsung Jack comes to AT&T on May 19, $99.99 on contract
The BlackJack II's been looking a little long in the tooth for a while now, and it's been made pretty clear that the Epix isn't the direct replacement -- so what is? Behold the i637 Jack (not to be confused with the... uh, Jack), which has just been made official with a 3.2 megapixel camera and video recording, AGPS, WiFi, microSD expansion, 256MB of RAM, triband HSDPA / quadband EDGE, and the all-too-typical QVGA display. Like its forebears, the Jack naturally features a full QWERTY keyboard; it'll launch with Windows Mobile 6.1 but will be fully upgradeable to 6.5. Look for it in stores on May 19 for $99.99 on a new two-year contract after rebate. AT&T's already got a unit (not to say that should come as any surprise) and they're showing it off on video -- check it out after the break.
Some Samsung smartphone for AT&T hits the FCC -- Propel Pro, perhaps?
We're not sold on that Propel Pro's weird, gaudy, glossy / chromy, bezel-tastic looks, but that doesn't mean it's not coming to AT&T's lineup whether we like it or not -- and in order to get there, it's got to make a quick pit stop by the FCC's crib to pick up some certifications. Now, we can't say for certain that we're looking at the Propel Pro here; in fact, all we can make out from the documentation here is that it's an 850 / 1900 3G device with Bluetooth and WiFi (which probably has additional GSM bands for world support that the FCC has no interest in testing), and we know from experience that an "i" in a Samsung model's name means it's a smartphone and the "7" ending means it's destined for AT&T. That said, if it ain't the Propel Pro, we're at a loss.
