Seems like Samsung is trying to beat the CTIA mad rush where everyone and their mother is going to announce the latest and greatest wireless gadgets and services for 2008. While the press release states the exclusive availability of the Samsung Access on AT&T, don’t go looking to buy Samsung’s first device to support AT&T Mobile TV for another month! The Access will be available through select AT&T retail locations or at http://www.att.com/wireless beginning in May, and price is yet to be determined.
So what makes the Access so special? There’s nothing-extraordinary special about it, other than the fact that it’s the vehicle to deliver AT&T Mobile TV, a mobile television service featuring high-quality programming. The Access takes the form of a candy-bar style phone with a black finish and a 2.3-inch landscape display. Samsung hail the display as “large and crisp, comparable to DVD quality.” One-touch button on the Access gives way to full-length television content and sporting events from CBS Mobile, Comedy Central, ESPN TV, FOX Mobile, MTV, NBC 2GO, NBC News2Go and Nickelodeon. There are other AT&T exclusive channels yet to be announced – probably at CTIA Wireless.
The Access is a robust multimedia device and includes features such as Video Share™ AT&T Mobile Music, stereo Bluetooth ® technology, external stereo speakers, external memory microSD™ card slot and 1.3 megapixel camera with video record. With advanced messaging options such as multimedia messaging, instant messaging and mobile e-mail, the Access is a powerful communication device.
The Access also features dual-band 3G connectivity and quad-band GSM technology, which allows AT&T customers to make calls in more than 200 countries and download data in more than 145.
