Josh Smith from GottaBeMobile takes a look at the new Samsung Stratosphere, which launches on Verizon’s network on October 13.

The Samsung Stratosphere finally has a release date. Starting on October 13th, you’ll be able to go online or to your local Verizon store to pick up the first 4G LTE smartphone with a physical QWERTY keyboard.
