Samsung Propel Pro Could Debut this Week

AT&T will release the Samsung Propel Pro on Wednesday of this week, if an unconfirmed report is correct. This device will be an enhanced version of the Propel running Windows Mobile.

The Samsung Propel is a featurephone with a sliding keyboard that has been available from AT&T for some time. There have been rumors in the past that this carrier intends to release an upgraded model with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard -- the latest version of Microsoft's operating system for phones.

According to a new report, this device will be released on March 17. There's no word yet on pricing.

More about the Samsung Propel Pro
Few details are available on this model, aside from what can be gleaned from a picture that leaked out earlier this year.

Like the current version, the Samsung Propel Pro will clearly be a "slider", with a QWERTY keyboard that can be hidden behind its screen.  The AT&T logo on this device makes it clear which wireless carrier its headed to.

It will apparently run the version of Windows Mobile for non-touchscreen devices, but its screen resolution is unknown.

According to the source of this image, the Propel Pro will support AT&T's 3G network, and include the optical mouse featured on several recent Samsung models.
