We can’t say we’re either surprised or excited for the Samsung A517 to hit AT&T’s network, but hey, it is what it is. The Samsung A517 flip phone will be pulling EDGE-only duty on AT&T’s airwaves – it looks like the 3G support that we were expecting has been nixed from this mid-ranger.
And, as mid-rangers go, the Samsung A517 is right on target. The 1.3 megapixel camera is nothing to write home about, but the microSD card slot, A2DP Bluetooth support, and external music controls might make this thing appeal more to musicphone-lovers on a budget.
What kind of budget? The $50 (after contract and rebates) kind of budget – not a bad deal if you just want a phone that also plays music.
