"Here's the deal, I am terrible with phones. I have never had a phone that has lasted more than one year.
However, this bad boy has withstood FOUR YEARS of my clumsiness and is still going strong. I am not big on internet, but I text and play a card game constantly.
The screen is still as bright as ever (except for a few dog hairs that somehow made their way under the plastic) and the slider is still in perfect sliding condition. I have the tendency to slide it back and forth when frustrated or bored and usually end up wearing that piece out first and ruining the whole phone.

I am not gentle with this thing, I've thrown it across the room into the wall several times as well as dropping it from high places. Plus, you can run games and music applications simultaneously which helps to pass the time."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Samsung Propel

PostedSeptember 21, 2010

"I just upgraded from this phone to the newer "Impression" model. I owned a model exactly like the image model, white and red. I really liked the phone overall. I'm not a "power texter" but I do like the physical keypad best which is how I came to own this model. Back in January 2009, actual QWERTY keypads were not as common as they are now, so I picked this model. Battery lasted fine, actually much better than the new Impression has been lasting so far. Worst thing is the small fuzzy display.
Actually the main reason for an upgrade at all is the larger better display and wider keypad with the side slide out.
But the Propel is a good phone that I have recommended to other friends. I liked it!"

Pros: Bright display, Durable, great battery life, reflector for self or with friends portraits.

Cons: small display, display not very clear, did i say small display?, tight keypad

Looks good, performance lacking

PostedNovember 15, 2011

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedNovember 15, 2011

"My biggest problems with this phone are battery life (24hour wait, 1.5 talk), and the fact that the phone randomly unlocks itself. Sometimes it will remain locked for hours on end, other times (such as in the writing of this review) it unlocks itself after a few seconds. In the writing of this review, my 767 has unlocked itself 14 times."

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, keyboard lock, battery life, poor speaker quality

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"I have had this phone for about 9 months when the LCD screen went out. I have owned two other Samsung products with much better service. AT&T told me when I got the phone that it was under Samsung warranty for 12 months from purchase date. This phone was not abused and was ot water damaged but still failed. I have owned and used cell phones for over 12 years and have had a number of cell phones. This phone is a great disappointment, it is defective. When I called AT&T they asked if the indicator inside the phone was a certain color and it was red. They told me that the phone had either gotten too hot or possibly too cold (since at that time I had only owned the phone through the winter months) they said Samsung would not warranty it if the color indicator was red. A freind of mine had the same thing happen to her propel phone and AT&T replaced hers. The indicator light on it was red when she got it back from AT&T! This phone is DEFECTIVE! DO NOT BUY! I promise you that this phone was not abused."

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
