The Samsung C417 offered by Cingular is actually a pretty nice phone. It has a metal body, is very thin, and quadband. It also has a 2 inch screen, BT, speakerphone and VGA camera. Of course it isn't on the same level as these JDM phones but it only costs half as much. I don't think Cingular can afford to give away $500 phones to new subscribers so there are a lot of cheaper phones in their lineup like the C417.
