Samsung's first Android handset revealed?

Mr. Blurrycam, meet your worst nightmare: Samsung's first Android handset. This marvelous conglomeration of vaguely-defined pixels unveiled at a Samsung dealer show in Amsterdam is about all we've got to go on so far, but it looks to be the real deal. Apparently the phone will have a capacitive touchscreen, rock a 528MHz processor, have some beefy (but as-yet-undefined) internal storage and microSD expansion. We're also happy to hear the phone will (supposedly) have quad-band GSM, and will come in UMTS 900 and UMTS 2100 flavors for the US and Europe, respectively. Since none of this is "official" as of yet, we'll take it all with a healthy dose of hard-earned skepticism, but it's looking like Samsung's just about ready to give this thing a formal welcome.

"...and will come in UMTS 900 and UMTS 2100 flavors for the US and Europe"

If those are the UMTS bands, then this phone is definitely not for use in the US.

Definitely not for US soil. UMTS 900/2100 are bands used in Europe, we only use UMTS 850/1900 (AT&T) and UMTS 1700 (T-Mobile) over here stateside.

Wouldn't it be cool if Sprint's was a World phone, looks like they'll have 3 coming so why not make this one too?

is it just me, or does there appear to be a Verizon logo above the 'D-pad' ? If so this could be quad band CDMA/GSM/UMTS?

hmm... i agree with you it does look like a Verizon logo and also the red back lights of the seemingly touch sensitive keys would go with theVerizon theme too

Looks like a photoshopped and conveniently blurry N85 to me.
