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. This ridiculously simple "duh!" solution makes using the Propel for viewing video, surfing the Web, AGPS maps and navigation, writing email, taking photos or just making calls far more civilized. We can only hope other phone makers copy this innovative ergonomic development.

Nearly every feature in the Propel feels as cutting edge as its ergonomics.
