AT&T, Samsung Launch Napster Phone

AT&T unveiled the SLM by Samsung, a lightweight clamshell cell phone that's designed for music and multimedia. The phone is AT&T's first to include Napster Mobile, a new service that allows subscribers to search a catalog of five million songs, preview snippets of songs, and download them wirelessly.

AT&T's SLM by Samsung is a durable clamshell-shaped cell phone packed with music and multimedia features. The SLM is a moderately sized, light (3.96 by 1.99 by 0.51 inches, 3.17 oz.) flip phone, with generally mid-range specs. It is equipped with 2-megapixel camera, high-speed 3G data, and 176-by-220 screen.

The SLM doesn't need to be connected to a PC?though it can sync with Napster or Windows Media Player just fine if you hook it up with a USB cable. Buried in a music menu on the handset is an option to sample and buy songs from Napster's 5-million-song catalog. You don't need to be a Napster member to do this, and in fact you can't access your own Napster library through the phone.

AT&T initially announced its plans to roll out the mobile service with Napster in October. Subscribers interested in using the service have a choice of downloading five tracks a month for $7.49 with the Napster Mobile Five-Track Pack plan or purchasing songs for $2 each without the plan.

The carrier has been ambitiously rolling out various music capabilities on its phones in hopes of attracting a large group of mobile users. Earlier this month, AT&T also made available a popular Internet service called Pandora on select cell phone models. The service allows subscribers to find music and create personalized radio stations on their phones.
