The SLM is the first of Samsung’s music phones to feature Napster Mobile, a new service that enables AT&T’s wireless customers search a music catalog of five million songs, preview samples of each song, and purchase and download songs to their SLM.
According to AT&T, the SLM will also be the first device to have AT&T’s mobile banking application pre-loaded on it. Other key specifications of the device include dual-band 3G connectivity, which provides download speeds of 600Kbps to 1,400Kbps through AT&T’s HSDPA network, and quad-band GSM technology.
Peter Skarzynski, senior vice president of Samsung, said: Samsung is proud to work with AT&T to develop the first device to support the company’s over-the-air music services. The SLM is a first-class handset, packed with a host of multimedia features and advanced music capabilities.
