Samsung SGH-A737 (1)

Samsung seems to have a knack for slider phones, and their SGH-A737 reflects this. This slicker than Teflon slider also happens to be one of the latest low cost 3G offerings from AT&T. Many of the reasonably priced 3G offerings these days are offering a lot of bang for the buck, so the question, as with most low cost phones, is "What am I getting and what (if any) corners are being cut in the process?"

Physically, Samsung's SGH-A737 is a typical slider in a fairly slim presentation. It weighs in at a svelte 90g (3.16oz.) and is also reasonably thin at 15.2mm (0.6in.)

We received our test unit in black with metallic blue color scheme. AT&T is also offering the phone in black with your choice of orange, red or lime. Samsung have gone fashion forward with the SGH-A737. You'd be forgiven for mistaking the d-pad for a scroll wheel because quite frankly, it looks like one. Alas, the circular d-pad is just a d-pad.
