Well well -- it looks like whatever
Android handset Motorola's cooking up might not be the
T-Mobile G1 v2 after all. Mobile-review just published this shot of a Samsung Bigfoot with a slider QWERTY keyboard, and we've got to say, it looks a hell of a lot more like the device in that
leaked T-Mobile roadmap than that
rendered Moto unit. (It also looks a lot like the
Samsung Beat DJ, but that's neither here nor there.) Not only that, but there's also an early spec sheet and another image of a candybar set called the Spica -- apart from the slider, Bigfoot and Spica are nearly identical lower-end versions of the
I7500, with three-inch screens, three megapixel cameras, and Android 2.0 "Donut" preloaded. That certainly throws a monkey wrench into what we had thought was a neatly-tied little bow, but we've got to say we're stoked to see so many Android sets appearing all at once. Now if someone could just tell us when and where these would ship, we'd be all set. Spec sheet after the break.

Whats with the poor photoshop job on the lower left of the Bigfoot?
A more detailed (English) recap of the originally Russian article:

Whoops! That was Russian... THIS is English:

Not liking the WQVGA resolution on the Bigfoot and Spica. Also, 100 MB of on-board storage? Really? And thanks for dropping the 5MP camera with flash and going the LCD route instead of OLED. If the Bigfoot is the G1 v2, why the hell does it have worse specs than the original G1? OK, that's my rant. But seriously, WQVGA and 100 MB of on-board storage is pretty of bad.
Is the i7500 supposed to come out this month? Cause that's what this chart suggests.
ya, I noticed that too. we need some concrete info here! *crosses fingers*
I'm usually not a fan of all-touchscreen phones but I'd gladly make an exception for the i7500.
Android Donut?
It's two totally different phones! The buttons on the left one are not even on the right one! Come on Engadet, is this a joke?
