Update 11/1/12: The Mach will come out on November 11th for $99.99:

Sprint's on a roll here lately with the 4G LTE device announcements. We already know the company is getting the powerhouse Note II, as well as its first LTE tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, and LG's newest flagship, the Optimus G.

Of course, they want to cater to the needs of all customers. We all know there's a market for QWERTY sliders, and the newest member of Sprint's smartphone family brings just that to the table. Dubbed the LG Mach, this is a solid mid ranger with a seemingly outstanding form factor:

  • 4" 800x480 display
  • 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon MSM8960 processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
  • 5MP rear shooter, VGA front camera
  • QWERTY slide-out keyboard
  • 4.64" x 2.56" x 0.48", 5.92 ounces
  • 1.700mAh battery
  • Android 4.0

Unfortunately, there's no word of when the Mach will be available or how much it'll cost, but we'll let you know as soon as the information is available.
