I'm in Canada where we only can get the Samsung SLYDE and not the Rant, I've heard that they are exactly identical but I would like to confirm this, the main feature I would like to confirm that its on the SLYDE is the feature that when you are in text messaging conversation with someone you can see the full conversation and not have to look through the inbox and outbox.
Thanks,
