Samsung Blast SGH-t729


(2.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $99.99

But the messaging-centric Blast slider ($99.99 with a two-year contract) is an awkward compromise, even compared with SureType-enabled devices like the BlackBerry Pearl  The Blast's expanded keypad doesn't make it physically expansive. It's nearly the same size as the original RAZR view photo gallery
