Samsung Announce Phone With Full Napster Capabilites

AT&T Inc. and Samsung have announced the future availability of the SLM by Samsung, Samsung's newest lightweight mobile phone with music and multimedia capabilities.

The SLM by Samsung will be in stores beginning Nov. 23 and is the first of the company's music phones to feature Napster Mobile , a new service that enables AT&T's wireless customers to easily search a music catalog of 5 million songs, preview samples of each song and purchase and download songs to their SLM in less than a minute.

With Napster Mobile, customers will have the ability to download five tracks a month with the Napster Mobile Five-Track Pack option for a discounted price of $7.49. Songs can be purchased a la carte for just $1.99. As a special offer, customers who select the Napster Mobile Five-Track Pack from their phone will receive the first five songs at no charge.

AT&T is the only national provider to enable customers to purchase full-track songs over the air from both Napster®, one of the most popular mainstream providers of digital music nationwide, and eMusic®, the world's largest retailer of independent music.

The Phone will be only available in the US for the time being, but it can only be a matter of time before full Napster functionality is available in the UK.
