AT&T will be adding a new rugged handset to its offering. According to always highly informed Boy Genius, the Samsung a837 will be joining AT&T’s team in an effort to compete with Verizon’s Casio G’zOne phones.
We don’t have the full specs, but we do know the military-spec grade device will sport push-to-talk support, Bluetooth, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE along with dual-band UMTS/HSDPA, 1.3 megapixel camera, built-in GPS. As for the services supported, Video Share and AT&T Navigator will be included in the mix.
The Samsung a837 will hit AT&T’s offering around September 15th, though pre-orders might be starting on the first of the month. Expected priced is in the $99-$150 range.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
