Although Samsung ’s SGH-A657 candybar phone isn’t exactly a looker, it’s rugged build and semi-versatile feature set will most certainly compliment your hard hat lifestyle. Rated to military specs - that means you can drop, submerge and dirty it - the SGH-A657 is a quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) handset with HSDPA connectivity. It’s other features include Bluetooth with A2DP, push to talk, 3 hour talk time, music player, 128MB internal memory with microSD card slot for expansion, aGPS and a built-in flash light. No word on an official launch date or price at this time, but I’d expect it to hit AT&T any day now.

Samsung officially launched their dual SIM phone today, the B5702. Before you ‘poo poo’ the features, consider the international traveler who doesn’t want to pay exuberant carrier roaming fees. Makes sense, ahhh?!?! Anyway, aside from the dual SIM action, the B5702 sports quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) with EDGE connectivity, 2.4-inch 320×240 display, Bluetooth, media player, microSD card slot, FM radio with RDS, and 3 megapixel camera. Additionally, a dedicated hot key allows users to quick switch between the inserted SIMs, while different background themes indicate which card is in use.
The Samsung B5702 dual SIM card phone will officially launch this May in Russia for $415 and will be followed by other markets later in the year.
