Nearly every feature in the Propel feels as cutting edge as its ergonomics.
Introduction
Samsung has solved the whole portrait vs. landscape form factor debate with the Propel. The Propel, officially the SGH-a767 and available from AT&T Wireless for the bargain price of $79.99, is a 2.33-inch wide slider – the perfect width for a breast pocket. By making the phone wider, there's more room for a wider screen, and a wider QWERTY keyboard, without having to turn the phone on its side.

We can only hope other phone makers copy this innovative ergonomic development.
