Samsung Eternity Now On AT&T, $149.99

Samsung has been busy, busy, busy. While they just wrapped up their launch of the Samsung Saga and Samsung Renown on Verizon Wireless they also just launched the Samsung Eternity for AT&T. If we had to guess, the name probably comes from how many hours the engineers feel like they’re working after churning out all these top of the line handsets!

Not too bad looking, is it? A lot of folks are calling it a toned down Omnia or Behold or a ramped up version of the Vu. Either way, its a good looking touch screen phone with some subtle differences between the above mentioned that you’ll want to know about.

Good news or bad news first? Bad news? Okay… it doesn’t have WiFi which is a deal breaker for some people. Some might consider this next one a plus but it doesn’t have Windows Mobile but instead features a proprietary UI/OS that - at least on the surface - doesn’t look too shabby. But you know how those go.

Now for the good news. Here is how AT&T explain the “good news” themselves: “Tap into your potential, without paying a fortune. This sleek touch- screen phone is loaded with entertainment apps and the latest features. At your fingertips: Mobile TV, AT&T Navigator GPS, Video Share, 3G Web browsing, 3 MP camera, on-screen full-touch QWERTY keyboard, music, accelerometer, and more. Plus, customizable color lighting accents and a clever vibration response to touch - all at a price that’s within reach.”

And the above little paragraph doesn’t even mention that the Eternity is a quad-band world phone. Maybe the name should be called the “Universally” instead of the “Eternity”. And in related news, we’re now hiring writers who excel in humor and phone naming.
