The HTC Merge is a quality keyboarded Android device for U.S. Cellular subscribers, although it could stand to lose an ounce or two.

HTC Merge (U.S. Cellular): Front

The HTC Merge measures 4.8 by 2.4 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs a surprisingly heavy 7 ounces. It's been a long time since we've seen a phone that heavy.

HTC Merge (U.S. Cellular): Camera

The Merge is built better than Sprint's HTC EVO Shift 4G, with a pleasing mix of glass, plastic, soft touch accents, and a brushed aluminum back cover that lends the device a feeling of solidity and quality.

HTC Merge (U.S. Cellular): Keyboard

The Merge's four-row QWERTY keyboard features flat, oval keys that feel a bit cheap but are easy to type on. They're mostly silent and brightly backlit.

HTC Merge (U.S. Cellular): Left

The Merge is a true world phone, as it supports dual-band EV-DO Rev A (850/1900 MHz), quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), and 2100Mhz HSDPA for 3G speeds on foreign networks.
