This is a great option for someone that wants easy messaging without having to have a smartphone where the monthly service is more expensive. It looks really cool and fun.

I wonder how big it looks in person. With that QWERTY keyboard, one could mistake it for a smartphone if they didn't examine the phone's OS. I'm still waiting on the Quickfire.

According to dimensions I found on the net, it measures smaller than a blackberry curve, for a frame of reference.

Look up the Samsung SGH-i620. It's the same phone with WinMo SP.

So, this looks awesome, but MASSIVE! I'm wondering that if i get it that when im texting that it will be off balanced because of the slider design. It just looks clunky. IDK!!

I got the Samsung Propel about 1 week ago. I had the Blackjack II, NO CAMPARISON, but, I am trying to get used to the slider side of this phone. I love the keypad, which is the same as Blackjack II; seems to be a good phone, but, it's NOT a PDA phone at all ! I like it, but, it's different than what I had and I will have to get used to it ~
