Review: Samsung Propel
Browse
Propel uses an HTML-capable browser and, depending on graphics content, most Web pages quickly load within five seconds on AT&T's HSDPA 3G network. This includes including AT&T's Media Net home page and sites with mobile versions such as CNN, The New York Times, YouTube and ESPN. Full sites such as Wikipedia take between 8-10 seconds, still comparatively zippy.
You use the up/down/left/right to easily navigate pages, and the handy keyboard to input new URLs. If text is too small – and it will be – you can easily zoom in using the Page Size zoom toggle in the Options menu.
Customize
You can use any picture in the phone's memory or memory card as your splash screen wallpaper, but like most recent Samsung feature phones, the real fun comes when you start to futz with the Dialing Display options.
The approximately 15-point high default "small" dialing font is already readily readable, but you can boost the font to medium (around 24 points) and then to large (around 28 points), and you can choose a serif or sans serif font. You also can change the font color from default white-on-black to amber/orange-on-black and choose from 20 color background colors.
You also can change the navigation array direct-access application choices. The default settings are up=messaging, down=address book, left=My Stuff and right=instant messaging.
