So regional carrier
US Cellular dropped the bomb this week that it had scored an exclusive on a fresh Android handset from Samsung coined the R880 Acclaim, but unfortunately, it failed to actually
show us the thing. We've just gotten a tip alleging that the handset you're looking at here is the Acclaim, and we'd say there's a good chance it's real -- we know it's got a QWERTY keyboard, for instance, paired to a 3.2-inch HVGA display. Unfortunately, prospective buyers are waiting until July for a release, but tell us: does this shot give you hope that the phone's going to rock, or does it break your spirit into a million jaded pieces?
[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
Update: Alright, we've gotten more evidence that leads us to believe that this is almost certainly the Acclaim. Our doubt meter is hovering near zero on this one.

Looks like the HTC Touch Pro.

No, it doesnt.
Check once more.
nice qwerty layout (no d-pad on the sides for a change).
Now please let it have a snapdragon processor.
Well it looks like the D pad sucks, and the overall keyboard layout doesn't look too great, but the phone looks pretty. Hopefully that prettiness translates to its an awesome phone.
I think this will be a step down from the Galaxy S
@andyroo77
A huge step down.
Mehz.
But what about specs?? Where are the specs Preciousssss.

Oh dear, no that actually isn't it at all. I just got a chance to play with one today with the Desire and that top portion is all wrong. Only 4 capacitive buttons with an optical d-pad and no send/end keys. It's got a lot of blue in it too, not black like these renders.
Well, it's definitely sexy!
That's a really sexy phone.
