Videos: Nokia 6555, the Finns finally make a fantastic clamshell
The RAZR cost Nokia a lot of market share. Thin and clamshell were 2 things not associated with the Nokia brand name at the time, but it was something Motorola got people lusting after. If the 6555 had a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS and ran S60 I would seriously buy one. That is a lot…

AT&T adds Samsung A127, budget clamshell as GoPhone
AT&T has just added Samsung’s budget clamshell, SGH-A127, to its GoPhone offering. Don’t expect anything spectacular from this dual-band device, but then again it’s a $79 priced phone and for that money it looks quite decent.
