LTE Keyboard phone to replace Epic

I'm eligible to get an upgrade from my Epic 4G in July 1. Sprint should be rolling out LTE in my area before then - and I'd like to get an LTE phone.

Today, Galaxy Nexus is available - with the EVO 4G LTE available shortly. And it's not clear when the Galaxy S3 will be available on Sprint.

But none of these phones have a keyboard.

Not sure if I should get the Nexus or EVO, wait for the S3, or keep on waiting to see if there will be a Sprint LTE phone with a keyboard...

Suggestions???

Re: LTE Keyboard phone to replace Epic

with how thin the phones are now, I really haven't had much problems just buying a phone case with a keyboard on it

these are for iphone, but you can find one for other sizes with enough looking
Amazon.com: Buletooth Wireless Rubberized Hard Shell Slider QWERTY Keyboard Case for iPhone 4: Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon.com: Dobi Design Apple iPhone 4 Bluetooth Keyboard Case with Stand: Computers & Accessories

edit: forgot to mention but should be obvious... phones that are curved on the back have a hard time with these cases...

Well, the Epic goes EOL in July so maybe there's hope that a successor is gonna be announced soon.

Re: LTE Keyboard phone to replace Epic

Speak of the devil!! lol..an LG keyboard phone

LG's LS860 Cayenne gets a visit from the unsteady hand of Mr. Blurrycam -- Engadget

And it looks like a nice 5 row keyboard too! would have preferred a quad core but 1.2ghz dual core is better then 1ghz single core :/

The SGS3 at the very least will have a MSM8960 S4 Snapdragon Krait. This Lg phone has the same processor as the SGS2/evo 3d

It's definitely getting a krait, lol.

I was just saying it was dual-core like the LG because you were implying Sprint might get a quad-core phone which I don't see happening any time soon, I know the krait outperforms the 1st gen dual-core snapdragon.

I'm just glad I'm on GSM and will probably get an international SGS3 for the exynos.

I didn't know people still used keyboard phones
