Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G for T-Mo USA coming in late March
Samsung and T-Mobile USA announced the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G in early January, but it took them this long to announce the launch date (more frustratingly, they haven’t announced all the specs just yet).
The Blaze 4G has a 3.97" Super AMOLED screen, is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chipset and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It has two cameras - 5MP camera with 720p video recording to replace your point-and-shoot camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video chatting purposes.
The phone will also come with TeleNav GPS Navigator preloaded, which provides voice-guided navigation, although the press release doesn’t make it clear if it's free and for how long.
Samsung and T-Mobile have stuffed the Galaxy S Blaze 4G with all that because according to their studies, nearly 80% of smartphone are less likely to carry other devices (cameras, GPS units, etc.) with them.
The 4G stands for 42Mbps HSPA+ by the way, not LTE.
Anyway, you'll be able to grab a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G from T-Mobile USA stores, dealers and retailers starting in late March. With a 2-year contract (on the Classic plan), it will set you back $150 after $50 mail-in rebate.
