If the Galaxy S II had a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, would you want it even more?

This is the US version of Samsung’s best selling smartphone of all time, the Galaxy S II, that’s going to be launched soon.

The specs and everything are the same, runs Gingerbread, features Super AMOLED Plus, dual-core processor, 8MP camera, yada, yada, yada. The key difference is that the US Galaxy S II features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. And it appears that despite the addition of the keyboard, the US-bound Galaxy S II still looks rather thin and slender.

A physical keyboard is always better than a virtual one. If this version of the Galaxy S II is available here, wouldn’t you think it’d be awesome? This is assuming that the physical keyboard on the device is a joy to use in the first place.
