Define "Recently"...cause I haven't seen many if any devices come on in 2012Q1 on sprint...and do you mean all carriers or sprint specifically?

cause see there are a few keyboard phones that came out. The problem is they aren't "high end". Not to mention some of them still don't understand 4 row qwerty = waste of time...if your going to make a keyboard phone might as well go 5 row!

Re: New Sprint phone to replace Epic?

Still hoping for a new Sprint high-end phone with a slide out 5-row keyboard....

Re: New Sprint phone to replace Epic?

Same here. I've got time to keep hoping until November when my Sprint contract comes up for remewal. Maybe by then...

The problem with seeing the keyboard on a high-end phone again is that with screen sizes approaching 5 inches or in a few cases exceeding it, equipping them with a physical keyboard would make them too big to carry. The Galaxy Note is already too big on it's own to comfortably fit in ones pocket. Got to agree with fixxer on this one.

But who is to say keyboard phones can't be made thinner? There are keyboard phones for example with around the same thickness as a Epic touch 4g and galaxy note. So I do believe its not impossible. So we are on the same page, the primary reasons why phones have gotten so big is because of limitations in AMOLED technology at release time.

Re: New Sprint phone to replace Epic?

a GSII/GSIII with a nice snap on KB that was solid or even a snap on thumb kb would be acceptable. Otherwise, I would just get an iPhone 4s/5 so I can share apps with my iPad.
