This is a great entry level texting phone for all the text message whores out there. Despite all the pictures advertising the phone, it only appears to be big and bulky but it's the complete opposite. The phone is actually very slim & slender. I love that it comes in 3 different colors (Green, Blue, & Rose White) and probably more on the way. I picked up the green one and i love it. I originally purchased the Samsung Epix PDA phone and was so disappointed by the awful operating system and returned it right away. Finally the Samsung Propel hits the stores and it's basically a PDA smart phone without the Window Mobile operating system (Which is awful by the way). I love the Samsung Menu and UI. It's easy to use and just navigating through it is a breeze. You don't even need to look at the manual to operate this thing. The one downside to the Propel is that the screen could be a bit bigger and the colors could be a bit more vibrant. You only get 65K colors as oppose to the usual Samsung high end phones that come with 262K colors. So, that was one of the disappointments with this phone. Samsung knew this phone was strictly for the teens so i can see why the price is so cheap. Considering the friendly price is probably a big reason why you don't get the 262K colors. Another flaw is the Instant Messaging. You do get AIM & Yahoo but the buddylist is not in real time. You will only be able to see a few friends on your buddylist not all. But if you IM them they will respond even though they appear to not be signed in. The best thing about my Sidekick LX is that IM is in real time. I signed on from both devices and had about 50 friends on my buddylist appear on my SK while the Propel only had 3. As i stated before even though only 3 appear you can still IM the ones that don't appear and chat with them. Also AT&T for some reason is so stingy with the accessories. I wish it came with an additional USB charger, free micro SD memory card, or a case. Unfortunately NONE. All you get is the cell & wall charger. Overall i am very pleased with my purchase and recommend anyone looking for a texting phone or any device that might come close to a Sidekick on the AT&T network, this would be the phone 4 u.
Pros:
Sleek sexy design
Comes in multiple colors
Camera/camcorder (Really should be 6.0 megapixel by now)
Built in Messaging Clients (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Etc)
Access to Emails
Qwerty Keyboard
MP3 Players
Samsung Menu
GPS
Slider Phone
Micro SD (Up to 8GB)
Cons:
Only 65K Colors on screen
Only 1.3 Megapixel Camera/Camcorder (Really should be 6.0 by now)
Battery is really thin so carry an extra charger with you
AT&T is really cheap with the accessories (Only device & charger included)
Wish a USB Charger was included

I bought this phone after returning the Nokia 6650, because I had a difficult time trying to understand how to use the Nokia 6650. Before I bought this phone I was a die-hard Nokia user, but that has all changed now. The Samsung Propel is so easy to use. I love it. Texting is so easy to do on the Samsung Propel. I only use one hand to text. No need for two hands. I haven't had to use the instruction manual yet. I have the blue-black phone, but they also come in red-black, white-red, and green.
The only con that I can say about the phone is the battery life if you use it a whole lot. But that's not really bad, because it only takes a few minutes to juice up once you start charging the battery. Just keep a car charger or wall charger handy.
Again, this is a great phone. It's just the right size to fit into the universal phone case that I used to keep my Motorola and Nokia phones in.

I bought this phone because I finally entered the world of text messages and my beloved Pink Razr was not living up to the task. I wanted something small but with a full keyboard. After comparing this with the Centro, I found that this keyboard was much more user-friendly. I also like that it snaps closed. I'm not a web user on my phone...so I can't speak to its capabilities there. I bought it for texting, that's what I use it for (and calls!) and it has been just great.

This phone is so wonderful. I text on it most. I love it. Using it is so easy. It is a great phone for pix and it easily takes new ringtones from my computer. It has its own program to help connect it to your computer as well. There is no need for a usb cable if you have bluetooth on your computer. The keyboard is much better than my last phone. The call quality is superb. It is not bulky like my old one and is even nice to look at. I don't use the internet on it, so I have no idea how well any of that stuff works. All in all I am very pleased. It seems durable for a klutz like me too. My other phone broke after dropping it a few too many times.

I have only had this phone for three days now but so far I am extremely happy with it. Sites look great on it. It's my first Querty keyboard and it's great still getting use to not waiting to hit the right letter, I forget that I could type continuously. One thing I have noticed, when talking, it seems voices on the other end are extremely deep, they have a lot of bass or something and it distorts what is being said- or maybe my hearing is not what it use to be. One more thing. I think Samsung could have been more kind and allowed this phone to have more picture and video features, like 2.0 mega pixel instead of the 1.3, or maybe a light so you can find your keys in the dark.
