Samsung SGH-i687 could be one of AT&T’s first Windows Phone 8 handsets

A few weeks ago, when Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 8, three major US carriers were quick to point out that they’d all have WP8 devices this year: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. They didn’t provide specific details about this, but it looks like we now have some info on one of AT&T’s future Windows Phone 8 handsets.

Japanese website Blog of Mobile has discovered the Samsung SGH-i687 over at Samsung’s UAProf webpage (XML file). The i687 comes with Internet Explorer 10, so it’s clearly running Windows Phone 8. Other features include LTE, and a WVGA display.

Since AT&T’s Samsung Focus 2 (launched earlier this year with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango on board) has the model number SGH-i667, the SGH-i687 is likely also made for AT&T. If that’s indeed the case, we’ll probably see the i687 getting official sometime before the end of the year. We’ll let you know when we have more info on this.

    Can’t wait for WP8 but can’t help but wonder why not a higer res display? The OS obviously supports it, so why aren’t the hardware manufacturers taking advantage of it? Makes no sense…

    This is clearly a Low end handset.
