Nice specs, but T-Mobile only? This harks to all those US exclusive sliders like the Captivate Glide, the Epic 4G and MyTouch 3G and 4G Slide. Funny there was a poll by Nokia that concludes that there is a greater preference for sliders in Europe than in the US.

For some reason, Sprint also has dual core S4 powered slider with Ice Cream Sandwich coming out this month in the 19th, just four days after the Blaze Q, and the name also ends with a "Q". This time is the Motorola Photon Q.

So I guess the Q stands for Qwerty?

A year ago June our family left Verizon - Sprint. All 3 of us got the $125 credit for switching carriers (something Sprint doesn't advertise). For us, it was a choice between the HTC Evo & the Samsung Epic 4G. Although our daughter & her husband who is 27 had the Evo my wife really wanted a keyboard. Our 16 year old son would had rather gone with the Evo but would be happy with any smart phone (although he already had crossed over to the ''dark side'' with his iPod Touch which he would try to tease me by asking me, ''Can your Palm TX do that?'').

Anyway I decided that we would all get the same phone so we could share chargers & learn together & help each other (my son helps me on some things - I help my wife).

We chose the Epic 4G. Although the screen was slightly smaller, it had the keyboard, I liked the feel better with the curve corners & we liked the display better.

Although I very rarely use the keyboard - I'm glad I have it. I use it when searching the web when using the phone. I personally like the fact that half of my screen is not taken up with a keyboard on the display.

I would just wish that in the future they would put the same power inside the phones with the keyboards as they do with the others that are coming out - if they would - I'd get another one. I really don't mind the extra thickness - in some ways it makes it feel more comfortable in my hand.

I just checked and the Galaxy S Blaze Q is not listed on T-Mobile's website, nor has the company made an announcement. I'll keep an eye out for this device.

They are changing the name to the Galaxy Relay.
