Samsung Propel-SGH-A767 black red Cell Phone
The Samsung Propel will surprise you! Who would have guessed a vertical slider with full QWERTY keyboard! This is just one of the messaging phones AT&T announced for the fall season. Be sure to also check out the Matrix, Slate, and Quickfire. Mother’s Day is coming on May 10, and in its honor, AT&T has a new promotion for three Samsung messaging phones with $50 rebate offers. Samsung Propel, $99.99 (not including rebate): Features a sliding body, full QWERTY keyboard, instant messaging, Mobile Email, AT&T Navigator, CV, AT&T Video Share calling, AT&T Mobile Music, a 1.3 megapixel camera Comes in orange, blue, red, and white/red.Samsung Eternity, $179.99 (not... Well, they went through with it. Samsung Mobile executed its wacky scheme to set the Guinness World Record for "Fastest Text Messaging While Skydiving" last Friday, December 20. Professional skydivers texted while freefalling from 12,000 feet during the Samsung Mobile XTREME TEXTING event outside Los Angeles. They team used a range of Samsung Mobile messaging phones—including the Propel, Gravity, Rant, Alias and Messager—to text the following... I've had the chance to play with several of AT&T's messaging phones lately, and Propel will probably be the last for some time. I wish I could say I'm finishing with the best, but I think I hit the peak yesterday with the Slate. Propel is a cool phone, but in terms of instant messaging or email, the Slate wins by leaps and bounds. It's just so comfortable in my hands. What's baffles me about the Propel is that I like it for everything it is,... AT&T has a "two for the price of one" sale going on the Pantech Matrix and Samsung Propel this Thanksgiving, and it will be in effect at least until Sunday. It's kind of a messy deal. You have to sign a contract and pay $129.99 for the first device, but you'll get a $50 rebate in the mail. Still, it's a cool way to get messaging devices into the hands of couples. A worker at a local AT&T kiosk told me last night that he was doing a...
Carrier: AT&TRetail Price: $279.99 or via ebayContract Price: 79.99 or Via Let's TalkHot Feature: Slider With Full QWERTY
A square slider with the best of AT&T’s entertainment offerings such as instant messaging, Mobile Email, AT&T Navigator, CV, AT&T Video Share calling, AT&T Mobile Music, a 1.3 megapixel camera and more, the Samsung Propel slides upward for easy access to its full QWERTY keypad. Also available for $79.99... Finally you can all stop asking me when AT&T's gonna get them a QWERTY phone. Boom! Here's four for your SMS-fiending thumbs to drool over. I'm going to be lazy and just cut-and-paste from the press release:
Pantech MatrixThe Pantech Matrix is available today in navy blue and black with green and will be available Oct. 16 in red. It is $79.99 with a two-year agreement and mail-in rebate1, and it features the unique... Pros: Full Keyboard, Firm Slider, Nice Colors, decent camera,micro SD expandible, and Music Player. Cons: Battery Life, Screen Quality, Speaker Volume, and Small Keys. Summary: Long Story short, My other phone broke. Since i had the incurance, i got a free phone as my replacement. They ofered me the Sony Ericsson W580i; or the Samsung Propel (A767). Since i had nevr had a phone with a QWERTY board I desided to go with the Propel; Im glad i did. While waiting for my Propel to come in the mail, I desided to go to the ATT store to check out the W580i. It felt really cheap, and as I said, it didn't hav the QWERTY board. Then, I felt right for choosing the Propel. When I recieved my replacement in the mail, I opened it up, and popped in my SIM and Micro SD and it worked really nice! Started texting right away (I am a HUGE txtr!!!!); that wuz nice. The shortcut button on the side is handy. And, the phone is not to heavy, and not to light. If you text alot like me, the battery will last you bout a full day. Speaker could be a bit louder as well. So... If you like the fact that u hav a QWERTY, you want a basic-med. end slider, and like simple navigation menus... This is the phone 4 u! Hope this helps!!! Go Noah!!! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: I love it because it is so easy to use and text, and the graphics are amazing and the screen is clear and easy to read! Cons: Kinda short battery life. Slow when you first turn it on. I have a red and white one and it stains pretty easily. but, otherwise, i would NEVER trade it in!!! :) Summary: Text Messaging-Really easy to text, good graphics, slow to recive messages. Calls- Delayed speaking, not very loud volume. Otherwise awesome!!!!!!! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: slim, not bulky, doesn't feel cheap, fun, easy to use Cons: Too easy to access internet: some people dont want it, Battery: it drains quick but this can be fixed. Summary: This is a really great phone. I was comparing this to the Pantech Matrix, but overall, the propel is more suited for me. Its not too big, fit good in my pocket. The speakers are good, Camera quality it good, decent pictures. Calling is great too. I would recommend this phone. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: Size - Not too big or small and it is slimmer that a deck of cards, not heavy or bulky; as a woman it fits easily in my hand; Qwerty keyboard - lighted keyboard; Ease of Use; Screen size is easy to see; Features are great; purchased at ATT for around $80 with a 50% special that they had and still get a $50 rebate from Samsung. Not bad for $30. Cons: The outer case colors are fun but for a more professional, business look, I would have a preferred gray or silver colored trim too as an option. Summary: I bought this phone because I wanted a new phone. I love my Razr3xx and was quite surprised of this phone. I was apprehensive of the slider design but not anymore! It seemed sort of cheaply made at first but that is not the case. It is a very functional phone. I do not need a PDA type device so I was pleased to find this is the next best thing. The qwerty keyboard is great. You can talk without having to open the slide without a headset and it connected to my bluetooth effortless. I am not sure of battery life as I have been playing with it a lot for the last 2 days. Battery was cited as an issue with the Razr before I purchased it but I was able to go 3-4 days or so before having to charge it. I am not a heavy phone user or texter so I am sure if I use it a lot I will have to charge it daily. I strongly recommend giving this phone a try. The design is a refreshing change. I hope this is a style and design that is copied for a while on the market with all of the wireless providers. Samsung nailed it with the design! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: quick, easy texting,great look. Cons: Usually end up on the internet when not meaning to, because the internet access is very simple to accidentally hit. Summary: This phone is really nice, I love the large screen and qwerty keyboard. It holds up nice to any throwing about, if you are clumsy. A lot of space for pictures and messages, really great!!! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful U can get both phones for free when upgrading or buying a new contract (wireless.amazon.com)
I would def choose the Blackjack over the propel. The propel feels way cheaper and the sliding mechanism gets loose after using it for a while. My friend had a blackjack and she said she loved using it for texting.
But... the blackjack is a smartphone so due to AT&T now requiring you to get a smartphone plan for all... I was just curious which phone would be better to get. I hear alot of good things about both phones and I just need some opinions inorder to really decide. FYI: The price for the propel is about 140 and the price for the blackjack is 75. The black jack in a refurbished phone. Buying choicesWith new service  This item is not being sold with a service plan by any online merchant.
