LAS VEGAS--After the dust settled after a busy CES 2012, I got a chance to visit the T-Mobile Sparq.

Compared with the superphones we saw, the modest Sparq ain't much, but it is an affordable offering for folks looking for a keyboarded messaging phone that doesn't require a two-year contract. Take a look at photos for all the specs.
