AT&T appears to be fiddling around with its online store pages for this one, because we’re not finding it outside of the business-to-business at the moment. Do we care, though? Do you? The SGH-a227 from Samsung is about as basic an offering as you’re going to find on American Telephone & Telegraph at the moment, serving up a hot pile of EDGE data, 160 x 128 internal and 96 x 96 monochrome external displays, and a speakerphone. That’s it — no camera, no crazy haptics, and at $9.99 on contract, virtually no expense. Sammy throws in a true HTML browser, though without 3G, it’s of somewhat limited use. Odds are you can find this one floating aroudn in stores now, otherwise, we’d expect it to be back on AT&T’s main site in the not-too-distant future.

Nothing says “I love you” like sending every single one of your hot new handset models your way, and that’s pretty much the beautiful romance that’s going on between Moto and China as of late. The A1600, A1800, and A810 have all induced various levels of lust from outsiders who can’t get their paws on ‘em (not yet, anyway), and now we’ve got another little bundle of Linux-powered joy to drool over, the VE75 slider. It’ll happily swallow a pair of SIMs (as so many Asian market handsets tend to do) and offers EDGE data, a 2 megapixel camera, WQVGA display, and microSD slot. It’ll be available — and we use the term “available” loosely until a more global announcement is made — in black and white.
