I believe that is the phone that was identified as the Memphis, in the line-up leak from early in the year.
The Good: AT&T 3G Physical keyboard Sleeker/sexier look than the G1 Better camera than the G1
The Bad: 4 row keyboard, instead of 5 row I bet it's not a tilt screen (like the HTC Touch Pro 2) ... that would have been dreamy Looks like it still has a trackball instead of a dpad.
the camera is by no means better than the G1, the g1 has a 3.2 autfocus camera, the above has a 3.2 FIXED focus cam which limits apps usuage, the only good is digital Focus which available from software not hardware... Actually the Haykura 6.1 build has Digi zoom and generally like all digi zoom SUCKS.. as its just bascially cropping the image and not really optically zooming...G1 Camera is better fo sho
You're right about the camera (after double checking). It is 3.1mp. The picture quality is just such crap that I always figured it was a lower resolution than that. (the only thing I use my G1's camera for is scanning bar codes.. as a camera phone it's just ... not very interesting)

Oh, and, another bad: triband GSM instead of quad.
