These are some agitated days for AT&T, as they are busy with several launches and announcements regarding phone manufacturers like Pantech or Samsung. Indeed, AT&T is preparing the release of a new lineup of Samsung phones and it seems that in this fall/winter the mobile operator puts all of its trust in this company, hoping to offer the customers all the mobility they need, at a wide range of prices, from expensive to cheap, depending on the customer’s needs and affordability.

Therefore, AT&T will supposedly be offering Samsung’s QWERTY fresh new handsets called “Propel”, among other devices, such as Omnia, Eternity and Mirage. What’s very important to be mentioned is that the name is yet uncertain, as it hasn’t been officially confirmed, and the producer tends to keep changing it, but it is rumored to become available on the AT&T network, the largest telephone services provider in the US.

Taking into consideration the so-called mystery that surrounds this device, is no wonder that little information has escaped to the public. Anyway, we’re following Propel very closely, and as soon as we put our hands on more information, we’ll let you know. Until that moment, we’ll share the known facts that we have at our disposal.

At a first glance, we recognize the silhouette of another Samsung device, the SGH-i620, but the main difference consists on the fact that, unlike this, Propel is not meant to function as a smartphone. Instead, it’s a normal phone destined for texters, since it’s not provided with the Windows Mobile. Still, the phones are very much alike, so some of its features could be speculated, more likely because the exterior seems to keep the exact same dimensions.

Anyway, what we know for sure is that as its bigger counterpart, i620, Propel will feature a QWERTY keypad for fast typing, and apparently it will also boost an integrated GPS that should help the AT&T Navigation run smoothly. In addition, texters will be able to choose between the red, green and blue devices that are available for this phone.

There isn’t any official information about pricing and availability, but the device is rumored to start selling in the near future and to hit the market with an $80 price tag, with all discounts and a contract. This sounds pretty cool, if you ask me, and it might sell quite good.
