Default Any new slider smartphones coming

Does anyone have any halfway accurate information on upcoming slider smartphones (WM or Droid) coming to US cellular? My wife really wants a Torch but we don't want to wait 6 months to a year for something that may or may not happen. Right now we are looking at the HTC Touch Pro 2 but that phone has been out for quite some time and I'm nervous about getting her into something that is about to be replaced. She wants a large screen and needs a real keyboard which is why we are not getting her a BB Bold or something. I've read post here about possible new LG phones but no real information....Anyone hear anything?

If she needs a physical keyboard, what is wrong with the BlackBerry Curve 8530 or the Bold 9650. They both have full QWERTY keyboards and if that is the reason you are asking about other phones (WM or android) then you might want to look again. The only BB that USC carries right now that DOESN'T have the qwerty keyboard is the pearl flip. If you are really interested in Android or WM phones, it might not hurt to ask the same question on those sites, like android central or wmexperts. Hope you find the information you are looking for.

Thanks for the reply Chevy. She also wants the large screen that the 8530 or 9650 don't have. A BB would be preferred but the only BB that fits the bill is the 9800 which isn't available at USC. I have a 9650 which I love and she was going to get that but she wants a larger screen. BB, WM or Droid doesn't matter to her.

Currently USCC carries the Samsung Acclaim, an Android device with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. One of the LG Android devices that is coming later this year will also have a slide-out QWERTY.

I'm with your wife, would love a larger screen but I do kind of care that it is a bb.

Edit: after rethinking actually I don't care if it's a bb or not as long as it does what I want.

I know its not a slider. But the blackberry flip is coming out in a couple months. I'm not sure on the actual size of the screen on it though.
