Samsung Stratosphere headed to Verizon

Sprint users are probably familiar with the QWERTY keyboard slideout Android device known as the Samsung Epic 4G. The good news for Verizon users is that if you have been looking for something similar, there’s a chance that the device will be making its way onto Verizon’s network with the name Samsung Stratosphere.

These are based off the press shots that PocketNow has received and while its specs are unknown, it is expected to be similar to Sprint’s Epic 4G except with LTE connectivity this time and will be running on Android’s Gingerbread 2.3.4. It is also expected to see a release this week along with the Droid Bionic and has been speculated to sport a price tag of $150 on contract.

If all that is true, if you’re looking for a QWERTY keyboard slideout phone with LTE connectivity, this could be the device you are looking for, although don’t expect the specs to blow you away.
