Military-Spec Samsung a837 Pushes to Talk on AT&T

While Motorola is usually the first name that comes to mind when I think about rugged PTT handsets, Samsung seems to have quite the beefy offering that will join the fold at AT&T.

Set to sit right alongside the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Bold is th Samsung a837. This rugged clamshell comes with military-spec protection, push-to-talk, Bluetooth, dual-band 3G radios, aGPS, AT&T Navigator, conference calling, and video share. Oh, and it’s got a 1.3 megapixel camera too.

People aren’t going to buy the Samsung a837 because of its looks, but they’ll certainly appreciate the healthy compliment of features that back that rugged design from Samsung.
