Samsung Propel, a texter’s best friend

In one of our latest articles, we talked about AT&T lineup of Samsung phones. It seems that, for this fall/winter, the mobile operator relies heavily on Samsung to offer users all the mobility they need, at all prices, from expensive to cheap, depending on the customer.

Among the Samsung Omnia, the Eternity and the Mirage, we also mentioned that the so-called Samsung Propel (the name is yet uncertain, and the producer tends to keep changing it) was rumored to come to the largest telephone services provider in the US. Unfortunately, not very much is known about this device, but we'll make sure we’ll keep you up to date with more information as it becomes available. Until then, let us stick to the known facts about the Propel.

The first thing to be noticed is the striking resemblance with SGH-i620, but unlike this one, the Propel is not designed to be a smartphone, but rather a normal phone destined for texters, since it is not powered by Windows Mobile. Still, considering the resemblance, we can speculate on some of its features, since the exterior seems to keep the exact same dimensions.

So, the Propel is expected to be a thin phone at only 95mm x 59mm x 16mm that will greet users with a 2-inch 65k color TFT LCD, QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) resolution display, hopefully. These facts are only suppositions, so they might turn out to be wrong, but one can always hope for the best. As its bigger counterpart, i620, the Propel will offer users a full blown QWERTY keyboard for fast typing, and apparently, it will also boost an integrated GPS that should make AT&T's Navigation run smoothly.

The device is rumored to start selling in the near future, perhaps during the Christmas season, for about $80 with all discounts and a contract. Texters will be able to choose between the red, green and blue colors options that are available for this phone.
