Stop the presses! AT&T has unveiled the Samsung SGH-a517 and it’s only $49.99 with the usual two-year contract. Is it wicked exciting? Probably not. It seems like your average flip phone. ::shrug:: I didn’t think we needed another one. Does this look any different from the others?

Maybe this one will actually work unlike it’s older brother the Samsung SGH -C417. Worst phone ever. It wont answer calls, it wont register button presses, and it constantly asks me to re-insert my SIM. On top of all that the user interface is a kludge.
i just got this phone and it is totally awesome
