This week Verizon announced their newest touchscreen handset the Samsung Rogue. The Rogue features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard which with threaded text messaging makes this device perfect for messaging on the go.

This handset has one-touch access to many of the most popular social networking sites including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube and even Photobucket for pictures. The touchscreen is a very large 3.1-inch “ultra-brilliant” screen that makes full HTML browsing a breeze. Photobucket access is great with the 3MP camera that includes flash and video recording and editing. See below for full specifications:
