I have to agree with other reviewers: Overall this is a decent phone. The phone is a nice size, and has a nice sliding lock, and a big screen. The caller id is also a good feature, thought that is nothing new on Samsung models (I've had it since 2004 on an older one). I've never before owned... More

Pro: Good design, comfortable in hand and pocket, VERY customizable, durable, you can set it to lock upon sliding shut, AMAZING battery life (about 2 full days for my device)

Con: Middle button goes to Internet. The speaker phone could be a little louder.

Using experience: 3 months

The phone has been a step back from the previous phones that I have had. It drops call like a habit. If it would not drop calls it would be worth it. The other features are alright but the drop calls are just not acceptable. The phone will show bars and people on the other end of the call will constantly... More

This phone is amazing, I've had it for about a month now and it's great. The battery life is a beast, texting is a snap, it has amazing service (maybe that's Rogers though and not the phone), the speaker phone option is loud and clear. Everything about the phone fits with me perfectly.

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,... More

I bought this phone for my wife 5 months back and as of 2 days back, the phone would not turn on or charge. When i took to the AT&T store, they said the moisture paper turned red/orange (should be white it seems) and tha the phone warranty does not hold. Got the same answer by calling AT&T warranty... More

I really can't tell you about connectivity as I don't go online with it. The only "complaints" I have with this phone is:

1. The speaker is in the back

2. I can't read a text while on the phone

3. When talking on it it gets hot

4. Lastly it over heats and disconnects if I'm... More

i am not very pleased with this fone my background slides down and all i can see is white and it will not go back it makes me very angry

I purchased this phone in March and as of August it is not working well. The battery needed to be charged frequently (every other day) even when first purchased. Now I can only talk using speaker phone, often do not have a signal, and have had several dropped calls. AT&T will not replace the phone... More

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... More

i would give this phone 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. i have no problems with this phone when it comes to calling, music, camera, etc. but connectivity is the one issue i have with this phone. My old phone, which I was pretty happy with, was a Samsung A437. I was able to transfer tones and pictures... More

Pros:

- Works well as a phone.

- I like the form factor. When closed the keys lock, when opened - they unlock. The QWERTY keyboard is good.

- Alarms are quite sophisticated.

Cons:

- The big button on the front starts a web browser. No way to change that. I have no data plan and can see in my bill... More

Pro: Full Keyboard, Firm Slider, Nice Colors, decent camera,micro SD expandible, and Music Player.

Con: Battery Life, Screen Quality, Speaker Volume, and Small Keys.

Using experience: 2 months

Long Story short, My other phone broke. Since i had the incurance, i got a free phone as my replacement.... More

Had phone 2 months, loved it. But phone started dropping calls, sometimes when dialing it'll just stop and say call ended. Finally got sick of it and called AT&T. They said it was water damage!!!!

Apparently without really realizing it, moisture on my hand from glass of pop and picked... More

I bought this phone two weeks ago, after the last phone died. (Previous phone was a horrible cheap temporary thing, battery barely lasting 5 hours with no use.) Obviously, I was thoroughly ready to love this phone, but hope to still be objective.

Perks I like are: the color choices (I like my... More

Pro: 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!

Con: 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!!! :)

This is my first "Smart Phone" & I love what it can do.

Wished I had waited for the Pro to get WM6 for the MS Office compatability. My only complaint is the propriatary multi-function port on the right side, that & the lack of a standard headset jack. You are forced to buy an adapter... More

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... More
