Samsung, Ozzy Osbourne partner to promote the Propel

Most will agree that choosing to use someone as hard to understand as Ozzy Osbourne to promote a cell phone may not be the best idea. When promoting a messaging-friendly handset it suddenly seems to make quite a bit more sense.

Enter the latest promotional campaign for the messaging-friendly Samsung Propel. A newly released and yet simple commercial showing off Ozzy trying to get around and not being understood, but thanks to his Propel he is able to send nice (and surprisingly fast) text messages to get his message across.

The Propel has recently been announced for AT&T and offers a “streamlined” text message, email and IM experience using a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. After some mail-in-rebates, you can get the Propel for just $79.99, which also comes along with a two-year agreement.

A funny commercial to watch, albeit slightly sad in the fact that Ozzy has become so well known for his ability to speak and not be understood.
