Shapely Samsung a237 coming to AT&T

Can't you just feel the excitement in the air? There's nothing quite like a low-end Samsung on AT&T to get the juices flowing, so we're delighted to see that phoneArena has uncovered the a237 clamshell with a monochrome external display, EDGE radio, and not terribly much else. No word on when it might launch, but when it does, it looks like we can expect blue and red versions -- and the smart money says it'll be free-ish on contract, as pretty much any non-3G handset should be these days.

Hmm, looks like a go phone to me though... haven't seen it on the rebates for postpaid. But it could be...

Nothing more than Samsung's interpretation of Motorola's PEBL. Original as usual. Very nice, Sammy, very nice.

Very nice, a camera, BT, speakerphone, just what I need. I hope they slot this either just above the a127 or replace it, because the a127 is quite limited, and too tiny. I also hope they removed the 45kb (or whatever it was) java app limit.

It's either this one, the a227 (if they ever put it on the personal site), or the a117 if I am feeling cheap.
