From
render to Craiglist in a few minutes flat -- not bad for a phone that won't officially be on sale for a few weeks yet, as far as we can tell. A Samsung a877 for AT&T has popped up with an asking price of $400, complete with pictures to prove that the phone is the real deal; interestingly, it's identified as the Eternity, which we're assuming is a misunderstanding on the seller's part since the
Samsung Eternity has already been at retail for a few months now. Of course, that leads us to suspect the remainder of the specs listed here, including
MediaFLO-based AT&T Mobile TV, which -- call us skeptical -- we suspect the a877 doesn't support. All told, $400 doesn't seem bad to get your hands on technology that AT&T doesn't intend for you to have yet -- just don't, you know, expect any support from reps when you can't get your email.

looks like somebody bought it-- it's gone
Im sure its more likely that the idiot just put the wrong pic up for an eternity, got a bunch of inquiries and removed it.
this phone would be a good if android was on it

I guess Sammy sent someone an email....
I'm going to be that this handset will NOT support MediaFLO since all previous MediaFLO phones usually have the MediaFLo icon front and center on the menu key. Just a thought. I'm really excited actually about selling this phone (I'm a retail sales rep). Since we got rid of the Quickfire, there has been a huge demand for a phone like this. I might actually carry this phone for a couple days just to try out the AMOLED with CV.
