Samsung Eternity touchscreen phone is available for sale recently through AT&T Web site. It’s not quite the Samsung Omnia that folks are eagerly awaiting for, but it’s a step or two in that direction.

The a867 Eternity has quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band 850/1900MHz 3G radios on board. It also carries GPS, Bluetooth with A2DP stereo, and a 3 megapixel camera with Video Share.

AT&T Mobile TV offers instant access to continuous streaming of television content, events and programming like CBS Mobile, CNBC, Comedy Central, FOX News, FOX Mobile, NBC 2Go, MSNBC, ESPN Mobile TV, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and PIX. All the new subscribers can visit AT&T store or AT&T website for a free 30-day trial. Samsung Eternity’s TouchWiz user interface allows instant access to various functions like the clock, music player, instant messaging, photos and AT&T Mobile TV.

The chrome and black exterior are sleek and undeniably cool. There are only three physical keys on the lower portion of the phone and these make navigation a very simple task. Then there’s the built-in accelerometer that will detect motion and orientation to modify the screen display automatically to suit motion sensing games and facilitate photo scrolling.

The Samsung Eternity is priced at $149.99 (approx Rs. 7,315) with a two-year service agreement and $50 mail-in rebate. It is available through AT&T retail locations or online at Wireless AT&T website.
