AT&T BlackBerry Bold delayed until November?

Samsung bids $5.8 billion for SanDisk, gets rejected
Flash memory and the costs associated with integrating massive storage into higher-end mobile phones are apparently enough to drive one of the world’s largest mobile phone makers to put the moves on SanDisk.

AT&T announces Samsung Rugby
AT&T and Samsung launched a tough little phone today called the Rugby, which might not be much to look at, but packs 3G, GPS, push-to-talk, video sharing via 1.3 megapixel camera and military-grade toughness.

Samsung SGH-A83 Due at the End of the Month
Photos of this one leaked back at the end of August. But the Samsung SGH-A83 is not expected to be released till the end of this month. Look for it to fill a gap in AT&T’s device line, as it’s more of a ‘rugged’ phone that should appeal to the outdoors type. The Samsung SGH-A83…
