Samsung adding QWERTY keyboard for Galaxy S Pro?
With its 4 inch WVGA Super AMOLED display, Android 2.1, and its high powered 1GHz Cortez A8 processor, the Samsung Galaxy S is a powerful handset that offers beauty for your eyes. Video formats like FLAC and MKV will find support on the phone and it looks like the Korean based manufacturer thought of everything when it came to designing the handset. One thing that was left out was a physical QWERTY keyboard. Although today's virtual QWERTY keyboards have improved greatly to the point where some users can return correspondence easily with little or few mistakes, you still would be hard-pressed to find someone who can rip off full-length letters using a virtual keyboard. That is why we have seen alternative typing methods like Swype and ThickButtons catch on with smartphone users. But nothing can replace the touch of your typing finger on a real key and that could be why it looks like Samsung will offer a variant of the Galaxy S with a physical QWERTY keyboard which will be called the Samsung Galaxy S Pro. This info comes from the guys at HDBlog who say that the Pro resembles the Galaxy S. A launch could take place this summer, a few months after the Galaxy S gets released.
