Featuring a 3.0-inch WQVGA touchscreen, it&#8217;s a step down from the Rogue&#8217;s 3.1-inch AMOLED display, though it offers a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, full QWERTY keyboard, a microSD card slot, and a minor design revamp to mesh with Samsung&#8217;s current offerings.&nbsp;

What&#8217;s more, since the device is a 3G &#8220;multimedia&#8221; device, it will require a $9.99 (or higher) data plan at the time of purchase.&nbsp; The full press release is below for your viewing pleasure.&nbsp; So, in light of the new device, I have to ask you: are you going to go Rogue, push through the Intensity, Sway your friends to join you, and make your new phone purchase a Reality?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(Ok, ok &#8211; that&#8217;s the last Samsung pun.&nbsp; I promise.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>SOCIAL CONNECTIVITY GETS REAL WITH THE SAMSUNG REALITY&trade; FROM VERIZON WIRELESS<\/strong><br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Touch Screen Display, QWERTY Keyboard, Next-Generation Messaging and Social Networking Features Keep Customers Connected On the Go<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and DALLAS &ndash;
