Watch this: Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (T-Mobile)

CES was the first we heard of T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and Mobile World Congress was the first time we got our hands on T-Mobile's latest 4G Android smartphone.

Today, T-Mobile is sharing the price and release date for its latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone. March 21 is the date for buying the phone in stores, and the phone will cost $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with your John Hancock on a two-year contract. If you prefer to pick up your smartphones online, you'll need to wait until March 28.

The phone with the mouthful of a name features a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen (with a 480x800-pixel WVGA resolution), a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot 720p HD video, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
