AT&T Samsung Propel
Today, we can see some reviews the Samsung Propel, which has been boosted by a large advertising campaign featuring Ozzy Osbourne and is one of the hottest phones on the market now. In Exhibit A we find that AT&T had no text-centric phones besides smartphones.
The Samsung Propel is geared toward the young folks; there is a large emphasis on texting, multimedia messaging and listening to music.
The Samsung Propel is a bit wider than the usual dumbphone because it features a full QWERTY keyboard version of the A737.
The Propel is a great multimedia phone geared towards the texting generation, so there doesn’t need to be a whole lot under the hood besides the multimedia stuff. For specs, the Propel features:
- 1.3 MP camera with camcorder and video share capability
- GPS and AT&T Navigator
- 50 MB internal memory
- Quad-band GSM/EDGE, 850/1900 HSDPA
- Hearing Aid compatible: M3, T4
- Voice memos
In addition, the Propel does bring the standard speakerphone, calculator, calendar, and other tools. We also found that it does offer some syncing capabilities via USB or Bluetooth with the proper software downloaded into your computer, but were unable to test it as of this writing, also features such AT&T-centered features like Mobile Email, which offers access to most personal email accounts, and Cellular Video, a video-streaming service which showcases several TV clips, music videos, and trailers.
Within the Propel lies a 1000 mAh battery which allows up to 5 hours of straight talk time and over 10 days of standby. Not terrible for a 3G phone.
