The Samsung SGH-A767, more commonly known as the Samsung Propel, is a mobile phone by Samsung Telecommunications. It features a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the phone. It comes in white, blue, red, and green, and is one of AT&T's most popular cell phones. It was designed as a quick texting phone along with the Pantech Matrix, the Pantech Slate,and the UT Starcom Quickfire, which lost attention after consumers discovered the rickety touch screen, along with the overall bulkiness of the phone.
The Samsung SGH-A767's QWERTY keyboard makes texting and any other task that requires using letters, numbers, and symbols, much easier and faster to complete. However, the size of the keyboard can be a drawback for people with large hands due to the fact that the keys are flush mounted and close to each other.[1] Another feature that could be better is the screen resolution, which only has 65,000 colors.[2] Along with the standard features of most phones, the Samsung SGH-A767 has GPS capability, with both audible and visual aide which is JAVA based. It is, however, a separately licensed product, requiring both downloading the program and paying extra for data services.[3]
Music and other multimedia capabilities are included with the Samsung SGH-A767. The microSD slot allows you to transfer music and pictures from a computer to your phone, while adding extra memory. The AT&T Music feature allows you to download and play music and ringtones.[4] Recorded audio and playlists can also be played. Compatible music file extensions are AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), 3GP, MPEG, MP4, and M4A.[5]
