Ahhh, nothing says new upcoming handset like a good old gray-scale sketch. Our pals at the FCC just put their seal of approval on a brand-spanking-new 3G smartphone from Samsung bound for AT&T some time in the near future. While little is known about Sammy’s i637 for the time being, it’s probably a safe bet to assume we’re looking at a nice big touchscreen and maybe a button or three beneath it — a form factor the company has most certainly grown fond of in recent history. Here’s what we know:

  • Windows Mobile
  • Quad-band GSM, dual-band UMTS / HSDPA
  • Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
  • Wi-Fi
  • MediaFLO support (AT&T’s mobile TV service)
  • Camera, unknown resolution

It’s nice to see AT&T line up another MediaFLO-ready handset as it continues to push the service to a wider audience. More info regarding the i637 surely isn’t far off at this point it could turn out to be a spiffy little smartphone.

    Maybe its the Omnia we all had our hopes on…

    considering the model number is i637, it’s probably a progression of the i607 i617 family… maybe a replacement for the BJ2? a little competition for the rim BB 8900

    No GPS? sucks!

    Well, the Epix is the BJ3. I guess the Model No doesn’t mean anything b/c the Epix model no is SGH-i907. Maybe the AT&T omnia is the i637. Perhaps a 5MP camera. I don’t think AT&T has any camera beyond 3.2MP. I may be wrong. It won’t be the first/last time.

    This is the Propel Pro, the Windows Mobile version of the Propel. The joystick is very different, and very difficult to use.

    Hey guy,
    The so-called “Propel Pro”‘s model is I627. This is the future of Propel Pro. If you need pic, wait.

  • JoeCamel

    Yes, yes, the Propel Pro is the i627. My mistake.

  • jeff

    my guess is it is the samsung blue earth if you need a picture goth infosyncworld.com and go to coming soon under cell phones and go to page two it fits all the descriptions plus it can’t be the propel pro because it doesn’t fit the discription the propel pro doesnt have wifi the blue earth does and it has windows mobile

    its design also looks similar

    Saw one of these today. Internal name “Jackie.” It looks an awful lot like a BlackBerry – the small one that’s coming out for AT&T (not the Bold).

    It seems like an OK phone, but the one I saw had the current version of Windows Mobile (not the new version coming out soon), but that was a problem. The screen is pretty small, and Windows just doesn’t seem to work well with that small of an area of real estate.

    Maybe the release version will have teh newer OS.

    ^Small like on the Vu? If it’s comparable to the omnia then I might snake one of these.
