Good looks and nice slide mechanism, vivid display, QWERTY keypad layout
Keypad learning curve, no stereo headset port, POP/IMAP support missing

Abstract: What T-Mobile might lack in the way of a high speed data network, they more than make up for with service plans and features geared towards families and messaging addicts. Their myFaves plan and Sidekick family of devices have caught on with budget-con...
Small dimension, SureType keyboard on such a small phone, Messaging capabilities
Keyboard takes some time getting used tovvv, Battery life, Some noise when talking, Can’t run media player in the background
Well, the Blast was a good phone overall. There are some things to consider before going out and buying it however. First, if you live on your phone, you better have a charger on you at all times and make use of every plug that comes your way. Otherwis...
The Blast seems to be a very confused handset. Its being marketed as a hip, youth-friendly text machine. This is all well and good, but its unresponsive keypad means texting is sometimes frustrating, its cheap plastic design isnt really hip, and its...
SureType keypad is better than numeric for messaging. Full range of messaging options, including IM, e-mail and SMS. Nice color scheme.
Keys are a bit flat, shaped oddly. Call quality was average at best. Messaging options lack compelling interface. Multimedia options are very basic.

Samsung calls the 20-key alphanumeric keyboard on its newest T-Mobile phone "QWERTY-like." 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 BlackBerr...
Abstract: by Eric LinIf theres one type of person T-Mobile seems pay more attention to than any other national carrier, its the texter - the oft-ignored user who constantly sends messages of all types but never touches a corporate email account. The Blast is y...
Decent call quality, thin but solid build, nice red and black finish, but the half-QWERTY SureType is a bit tough to use. The Catch: Instead of a standard dialpad like regular phones, the Blast has a SureType two-letters-per-key typing scheme. It's a...
