AT&T today launched the Samsung Eternity, a touch-screen phone with a full-touch QWERTY keypad and support for AT&T Mobile TV.
The Eternity features a black and chrome exterior with a large 3.2-inch touch screen with haptic support, providing subtle vibrations that confirm selections.
Samsung's TouchWiz user interface has specially designed widgets to customize the phone. A quick and simple "drag and drop" feature lets users instantly access their favorite functions, such as the clock, music player, instant messaging, photos and AT&T Mobile TV all from the home screen.
Three dedicated keys on the lower portion make navigation straightforward. It has a built-in accelerometer to automatically detect motion and the orientation to auto-rotation of the display for motion sensing games and photo scrolling.
The Eternity includes a 3.0-megapixel camera with video capture, Video Share calling, advanced messaging capabilities, including Mobile Email and instant messaging (Yahoo!, Windows Live, AOL), Bluetooth technology and a microSD memory card slot supporting up to 8GB.
AT&T Mobile TV provides streaming television content and sporting events from programs such as CBS Mobile, CNBC, Comedy Central, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX News, FOX Mobile, NBC 2Go, MSNBC, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and PIX.
Its browser can surf the Internet, navigate pages with the touch of a finger and support easy zoom-in and zoom-out capabilities.
"The Eternity brings the big screen to the palm of your hand," said Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer, Samsung America. "This touch-screen mobile TV handset is part of Samsung's TouchWiz line of phones and keeps you entertained and connected on the go."
The Samsung Eternity is available through stores or online for $149.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Just picked up the phone today. It was suppose to have been $199 less $50 rebate for a $149 total, however, there was a glitch in the price (so says the AT&T Rep), and she only charged me $169. Woo Hoo! It's a Christmas gift for my daughter. The phone looks pretty cool and the touchscreen, although not as responsive as the iPhone, is very good. My only gripe is that is doesn't come with a USB cable.
