Samsung and AT&T are finally bringing the Samsung Access (aka SGH-827) to the US market in May 2008. Access is the first mobile phone from Samsung that fully supports AT&T Mobile TV.

AT&T’s Mobile TV is a high-quality programming mobile television service that features direct access to full-length television content, sporting events from top US networks. Currently, AT&T Mobile TV offers programming from top entertainment brands such as CBS Mobile, Comedy Central, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile, MTV, NBC 2GO, NBC News2Go and Nickelodeon.

Giving justice to the high-quality programming offered by AT&T Mobile TV is the Samsung Access’  2.5-inch LCD display which can be set in landscape mode for widescreen viewing. Samsung and AT&T also tout the Access as a multimedia device featuring VideoShare, AT&T Mobile Music, stereo Bluetooth, external stereo speakers, external memory microSD card slot for story expansion and a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording functionality.

Complementing these multimedia functions, are Samsung’s network support for dual-band 3G connectivity as well as the quad-band GSM technology. These two features will enable AT&T users to make international calls to more than 200 countries and download data from another 145 countries. Topping the list of these Access’ goodies are its various messaging options that include MMS, IM, SMS, and email.

I know that watching TV programs from your mobile phone can be pretty exciting. What more if that mobile phone was specifically designed to bring you that experience. Just another month of waiting and you can all access the features of the Samsung Access.
