Any QWERTY slide-outs coming out on AT&T?

Hi,

So, my fiance's 3 year old phone just died and she went into an AT&T store looking for a new one. She decided she's FINALLY try out a smartphone, but she wanted one that had a slide-out keyboard like her previous.

The best one she could find was (sadly) a Pantech Crossover. Neither of us are particularly thrilled about it. She refuses to switch to any other carrier (which makes me sad, because Sprint has a LOT of great phones)... so we're stuck with AT&T. My question for you all is... are there any new ones coming out soon that could replace the Pantech? I ask because she has 30 days to take it back and switch to something else.

Yes, the Samsung Glyde was announced a bit ago. Should be here before Thanksgiving.

Those specs don't look any better than the Pantech. 2.8" with a low res display. Man, AT&T just gets the worst phones

You are so completely mistaken.

Samsung Captivate Glide specs

The specs indicate a 4" Super AMOLED display with 480x800, dual core and Gingerbread OS.

In fact, it seems to be what might be an Epic upgraded to a dual core (Tegra2) and Android 2.3.

How about looking for a slightly used Desire Z then inserting your AT&T sim on it? Of course you have to make sure it has the same bands as AT&T, but thats just part of the search.

You are referring to the Canadian Bell Desire Z. That works on the AT&T frequency yeah. But the Captivate Glyde will surely run rings around it.

It will also depend on his budget though.

Holy shit. That is not the phone I saw when I googled it. Wow @_@

That would be perfect if it is released in a timely fashion. Looks better than my Epic... I'd be a little jealous.
