Samsung M575 QWERTY phone (pictures)

Virgin Mobile's Samsung M575 is a strange duck, with a thick, hefty form we haven't seen since 2010.

Bright blue accents give the M575's slide-out QWERTY keyboard a shot of color. The phone's wide keyboard has responsive buttons, but they're rather flat.

You won't be blown away by the M575's 2-megapixel camera, but it's waiting for you when you're ready to take a shot.

By today's standards, the M575 looks twice the width of today's thinnest phones. In fact, at 0.6 inch deep, it's very close to doubling the depth of the Samsung Galaxy S3's 0.34-inch frame.
