The choice of devices to indicate off inside the Samsung booth at this year’s CTIA Enterprise & Applications is a little bit meager when put next to previous shows, but we hunted down a pearl: the Samsung Stratosphere . The latest addition to Verizon’s LTE lineup is likewise by far the main unique of the bunch, simply resulting from its physical QWERTY slide-out keyboard. In actuality, you’re apt to locate a hefty collection of similarities between the Stratosphere and last year’s Epic 4G , as both devices include 4-inch Super AMOLED displays, 1GHz Hummingbird single-core CPUs and 5MP rear cameras, though the previous brandishes a nicer 1.3MP front-facing cam and springs with Android 2.3.4 installed. Verizon’s little beauty is priced smugly between the Pantech Breakout and LG Revolution at a funky $150 with a two-year commitment, and may be available on October 13th. Take a look at our full hands-on gallery and video below.
