It kinda flew under the radar, but yesterday, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze Q passed through the FCC on its way to T-Mobile. Not too much was revealed in the docs, just a few specs for the device’s radio bands. Also known as the Samsung SGH-T699, rumor has it, this guy will feature a high-def, 720p display, Qualcomm S4 dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and come running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course, as the “Q” moniker suggests, the device will also come with a spacious 5-row full QWERTY staggered keyboard. Aside from any unforeseeable legal action, we’re expecting this to arrive in T-Mobile stores on August 15th.

didnt you hear? Apple has the patent on slide out keyboards even tho they dont even use one
oh noes! The horror!
Every time I slide open a door, I fear that Apple will knock on my door and demand a quarter.
really, why don’t you release qwerty equipped smartphones with this advanced specs outside of US, samsung???
Ugh. Damnit. A halfway decent looking keyboard phone finally makes it to T-Mobile, and it has to be from Samsung. :-( I’m still smarting from the total lack of support for my Galaxy S Vibrant.
So tired of getting burned by lack of OS updates that I’ll only buy a Nexus device from now on… But no Nexus slider as of yet (or probably ever, both Apple and Google seem to be pushing the virtual keyboard).
At least you don’t have a Samsung Behold II.
Wow…. i wanna buy this… S4, 5 row key, 4G, ICS… nice!!
Is this the first QWERTY with a 720p display?
Remember when 4.3 inch screens seemed ginormous and seemed way too impractical for a slide out keyboard. I think the 16:9 4.3 inch screens on the Sensation and HTC One S would do just fine with a full qwerty.
In fact, why doesn’t HTC just make a retro looking G1 with higher end specs. Like the G1 just bigger and thinner. 720p display, 4.3 inch screen, big battery, same layout. I would pay anything for that fantasy phone!
This makes me miss my HTC G2. I love hardware keyboards. My little brother’s Sidekick 4G keyboard is pretty awesome actually.
A worthy successor to the G2! Awesome!
