Samsung SGH-a727 emerges at CES

While the vast majority of the Samsung phones in Las Vegas have already been announced (such as the BlackJack), one new product is the SGH-a727. A CES Innovations Honoree, the phone is a quad-band GSM phone supporting EDGE and HSDPA broadband, which will allow for music downloads and instant messaging via AOL, MSN and Yahoo. Files are stored on microSD cards, and device connections can be made through Bluetooth and/or USB 2.0. A 1.3-megapixel camera is included as well, though it's unclear whether it can record video as well as stills. No service providers are currently attached to the phone.
