, except that it’s closer in size to their candybar-style phones.</p>
<p>Indeed, next to the 4:3 screen (320 x 240?) on the face is a regular cellphone-style keypad, T9 and function buttons. Turn the unit sideways, however, and a Wizard-style keyboard slides out. While it offers full QWERTY, there are only three rows, so the space bar has been shifted to the right of the M key. It might take some getting used to, but it’s a novel approach to usability. No other specs are available now.</p>
<p>The phone, for CDMA networks (Spring and Verizon), also features EVDO Rev. A, which means it’s fast, data-wise. It should be available next year, and a GSM/UMTS version is sure to follow later.</p>

I love the designWhat will the pricing be?
Well not to kill Sprint users’ spirits but unless they get in the game with EV-DO Rev. A soon, only Verizon wireless will be rolling out this hopefully wonderful new device…
