Some Samsung smartphone for AT&T hits the FCC -- Propel Pro, perhaps?

We're not sold on that Propel Pro's weird, gaudy, glossy / chromy, bezel-tastic looks, but that doesn't mean it's not coming to AT&T's lineup whether we like it or not -- and in order to get there, it's got to make a quick pit stop by the FCC's crib to pick up some certifications. Now, we can't say for certain that we're looking at the Propel Pro here; in fact, all we can make out from the documentation here is that it's an 850 / 1900 3G device with Bluetooth and WiFi (which probably has additional GSM bands for world support that the FCC has no interest in testing), and we know from experience that an "i" in a Samsung model's name means it's a smartphone and the "7" ending means it's destined for AT&T. That said, if it ain't the Propel Pro, we're at a loss.

Man Samsung as of late has really been coming up short on their phones IMHO. There is not one single Samsung that I've been interested in as of late. This phone looks stupid IMHO. The BlackJack II on the other hand is a great phone. Just perfect that... Quit it with these stupid designs.

Acrobat was glitching out while scrolling, reveling an image beneath the label layer. So i took screen captures and stitched it together in photoshop.

Oh, wanted to note, that doesn't look like a slider, looks like a big open touchscreen device.

Nevermind, it is a slider:

It looks more like a touchscreen and it wouldn't make sense to have a line of Blackjacks and then go into the propel pro

the Epix was the i907 and it looks like the fatter version of a blackjack...

Maybe a Blackjack touch? That'd be intense

Well guessing by the tradition of naming Samsung devices in a series I'm going to take a wild stab at another Blackjack. The Propel is an A767 but the Blackjack started with i607 and then i617 so wouldn't it make a whole bunch of sense that an i637 would be somehow related to a blackjack? Maybe the propel and blackjack had a mythical child with a reasonably sized keyboard since mom and dad stick to opposite ends of that spectrum.

Same exact battery as the Propel.

The i627 is the "propel pro". The i637 is another device.
