Following the Samsung a177, AT&T is launching another GoPhone device from Samsung. It’s the a167 model, which unlike the a177 doesn’t come with a QWERTY keyboard. Rather it’s a basic clamshell phone which the carrier is offering for $69.99.
Specs wise, we see a dual-band (850/1900 MHz) radio on board, 128×160 pixels screen, web browser, 2MB of internal memory and a VGA camera.
In a nutshell – nothing spectacular, but you shouldn’t expect much more for 70 bucks without any strings attached.

Dusan Belic
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.
