What is the major difference here between these 2 phones as I am debating between them and when you call att they really don’t know.
There is no difference except for color and price.
we’re selling the a177 “shift” at radioshack and i think this will be the replacement phone of choice for all those water-damaged text or smartphone customers we get in all the time that aren’t eligible for upgrade. personally i want one of these it looks freakin sweet!
