has certainly been bust as of lately. Maybe the fact that they are now the number one cell phone seller in the United States is making the US market all the more attractive than before. The Korean company has come out with some nice mid-range cell phone, the SGH A777 and SGH A867. The phones were announced recently by AT&T right after the FCC approved of it. Engadget brought us the news.

The SGH A777 is a slider, mid range, 3G cell phone that supports GPRS/EDGE networks as well as dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz). Those of you who wanted a light yet effective cell phone for AT&T’s high speed networks finally have what they asked for. The phone also has Bluetooth. There’s also a nice 1.3 megapixel camera that takes pictures as well as captures videos, the camera also has autofocus. Built-in memory is a decent 50MB with additional storage support through a microSD slot.

In size, you get a petite 4.0 x 1.9 x 0.6 inches and 96 grams of Samsung to carry around. The display isn’t huge either and the resolution seems ok with 176 x 220 pixels and support for 262K colors. The li-ion battery could do with an improvement, only 3 hours of talk time and 10 days of standby life. The exact release date and pricing information is as of yet unavailable, but the cell phone probably won’t be over $100.

Now for the SGH A867, this is also a nice looking but again mid-range cell phone. Running on EDGE networks well as dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz) and having Bluetooth is about all that has been unveiled on the cell phone so far. Probably the phone will be similar to the SGH A777 especially in the price range. It will be running on AT&T’s high speed network.

All in all, the two phones aren’t hard on the eyes, quite nice and fit the budget too. They are quite a practical choice since they support 3G and giving you email functionality as well. Let’s see when AT&T finally brings them to the fore front.
