Fat Samsung Propel Unveiled for AT&T Network
AT&T yesterday announced a new line of quick messaging mobile phones that are equipped with a QWERTY keyboard. Arriving in time for the holiday shopping season, the Pantech Matrix is available today and the Samsung Propel and Pantech Slate will hit stores in late October, followed by the AT&T Quickfire in November. All four new mobile phones feature full QWERTY keypads, allowing everyone from newbie messengers to textaholics to send text, picture, video and instant messages with ease.
The Samsung Propel is 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 and a 1.3 megapixel camera. It will be available for $79.99 after a two-year agreement and mail-in rebate, the Propel will be available in late October in blue, green, red, and white with red.
“This new line of mobile phones will be a hit with both the text messaging generation and users who want to more easily use other functions on their phone, from mobile e-mail to typing in a search term on the pre-installed YELLOWPAGES.COM,” said Carlton Hill, vice president of Devices and Product Development for AT&T’s wireless operations. “For a lot of reasons, more buttons are better.”
