Review: Samsung Propel
As noted, Propel's tiny dial pad numbers integrated BlackBerry-like into the QWERTY keyboard make dialing a little awkward. It's the one drawback to Propel's otherwise wonderful design. Fortunately, Propel's software recognizes phone numbers imbedded in text messages for calling or saving.
Thanks to the QWERTY keyboard and easy-to-fill fields and forms, new contacts are easy to add. The space for entering email addresses even has a hard encoded "@" sign, saving a second or two of keyboard symbol hunting and pecking.
Propel's address book is one of the best organized I've run across. You get two tabs, one for individual listings and one for groups. There's also a handy search field that begins to narrow down the choices as soon as you start typing a name – type an "S" and only the "S" listings remain.
Aside from the usual phone and email data, you can assign a group, a photo, ringtone and instant messaging address. You get one field for each type of entry, but you can add additional fields for any category from the Options menu.
While there is a generous area for notes, there's no specific fields for snail mail address, a curious omission.
