Is this T-Mobile’s Samsung Bigfoot with Android, AMOLED, and QWERTY?

So this really doesn’t look anything like that Bigfoot we saw a little while ago, but we can sorta see the familial resemblance if we squint really (really, really) hard. According to Boy Genius Report, what we’re looking at here is allegedly Samsung’s Android-powered Bigfoot for T-Mobile, said to be attacking the high end of the carrier’s smartphone line thanks to a 3-inch capacitive AMOLED display, full QWERTY, 3 megapixel camera, and naturally, HSDPA. If we had to guess, this is probably a newer version of the same product concept that we’d seen in that roadmap a few weeks back — Sammy probably started with its Beat DJ (or an Ocean 2) and worked backwards from there to get to the retail version they wanted to launch. We’re told it’ll launch “like, really soon,” so would-be G1 or myTouch 3G buyers might want to hold on for a hot second.

Hold the phone: T-Mobile G1 v2 to really be the Samsung Bigfoot?

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.
