Samsung Eternity(TM) Is a Multimedia Powerhouse That Keeps You Connected and Entertained
DALLAS, -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile)(1) announced the availability of the Samsung Eternity(TM), an advanced touch-screen phone with support for AT&T Mobile TV. AT&T also announced the availability of a 30-day free trial for new AT&T Mobile TV subscribers.
The Eternity is a multimedia-rich device that is one of the best in its class.

An attractive black and chrome device with a large, vivid 3.2-inch touch screen, the Eternity also has haptic support, enhancing your sensory connection with the phone and providing subtle vibrations that confirm your selections. Three dedicated keys on the lower portion of the device make operation straightforward and easy to navigate. Additionally, the Eternity supports an accelerometer that will automatically detect motion and the orientation of the device allowing for the use of richer applications and additional feature capability, including autorotation of the display, motion sensing games and photo scrolling by tilting the device.
"Eternity can provide endless entertainment options for AT&T customers," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices for AT&T's Mobility and Consumer operations. "Our customers are looking for mobile phones to be a remote control for their life, bringing music, the Internet, GPS navigation and even TV with them on the go."
