[![Huawei M660 wields portrait keyboard, headed for Cricket Wireless][1] ][2]

After the familiar vertical keyboard structure of a [BlackBerry][3], but with all the Google friendliness and app breadth of an Android phone? Then Huawei may have the answer -- and it looks like it'll land on the US carrier, [Cricket][4]. According to leaked photos sent to _PhoneArena_, the Huawei M660 is modestly equipped with Android 2.3 and a portrait QWERTY keyboard nestled below a 3.2-inch display. Its existence is backed up by a page on the manufacturer's site, pointing to a (now non-existent) user guide that references expandable microSD storage, the possibility that it may arrive as the Ascend Q, _and_ name-drops Cricket in the process. For those with portrait keyboard needs, you can hit up the link below for a few more shots of the device.
