Samsung T699 may become Galaxy S Blaze Q, compete for silliest phone name ever on August 15th

[![Samsung T699 may become Galaxy S Blaze Q, compete for silliest phone name ever on August 15th][1] ][2]

T-Mobile might have just gone with the nuclear option when it comes to [ridiculous smartphone names][3]. Apparently not content to let Sprint's [Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch][4] hold on to the crown for unnecessarily wordy titles, Magenta is reportedly launching [Samsung's T699][5] as the Galaxy S Blaze Q. Yep. If you've stopped giggling, you'll be glad to know _TmoNews_' leaked photos and details at least hint at a serious QWERTY slider attached to the silly name. The Android 4.0 hardware should be a slightly detuned [Galaxy S III][6], with the familiar 1.5GHz [Snapdragon S4][7] and 720p display being tempered by a more restrained 1GB of RAM and a 5-megapixel back camera. As long as a store layout document proves accurate, we'll have the choice of snagging a Blaze Q at T-Mobile on August 15th... assuming the store clerk doesn't get tongue-tied first.
