HTC Merge visits the FCC, is Verizon-bound

I know plenty of people who are waiting for a QWERTY Android - that are not satisfied with the keyboards of the Motorola Droid/Droid 2. I wonder how this would stack up against the upcoming HTC Trophy... I think engadget rated 5 different phones for "best keyboard" and came up with the HTC 7 Pro (Arrive).

Seems like WP7 will be coming out with a few models with exceptional keyboards as well.

I am guessing this is an Android, right?

It is going to be the Verizon version of the HTC Desire Z. T-Mobile has the G2, which is just the Z without Sense, and Sprint has the Evo Shift 4G.

I've been waiting on this phone. I'm not into all of the 4.3" screens and I'd like a hardware keyboard as when I'm playing games or typing I just don't like looking at the back of my fingers (unless someone comes out with a cloaking glove).

If there is no LTE in this I think I'll survive like I have for years before.

Those waiting for an LTE device with a keyboard should wait for the Droid 3. This will be a midrange offering (and hopefully priced to sell).

I just wish that Verizon manual didn't still say Bing search.

But the question is, if it isn't 4G, then why would it have shown up at an LTE demo?

It's U.S. Cellular bound. As it's a phone that's currently under going testing for that carrier
