Here’s a small something to have your weekend fly by — Android Central scored a hands-on look at Verizon’s dual-mode CDMA / GSM worldphone, a HTC Merge (or is that Lexikon?) as well as it’s seeking similar to a single hell of a handset. Though the prototype’s Android 2.2 setup is saddled with HTC Sense as well as Bing for poke, the hardware’s reportedly superb, with the “clicky as well as manageable and really well spaced” slide-out QWERTY keyboard with no Desire Z hinge unsteadiness, as well as the pithy, solid feel. There’s additionally the 5 megapixel shooter which does 720p video, the likely 2GB of on-board storage and 512MB of RAM, not to mention an 800MHz processor that’ll certainly help derail a megahertz parable with glorious benchmark scores. See it pull a 1,500 in Quadrant after a mangle, as well as begin dropping those nickels into your piggy bank.
