Sean, you hit it straight on the head here. This handset is a perfect example of Samsung: wholly unoriginal. As mentioned, the key pad looks like an (ugly) adaptation of Sony Ericsson's--and I am not just talking about the numerical part, the parts around the talk and end keys look like that of the w810i; the trackball, from the newer BlackBerries.
-----------
But hey, let's look at the bright side. (Note: The following ONLY applies if it has domestic UMTS/HSPDA lovin'--if not, no love here.) Aside from the design of the phone, the phone is offering some goodies. I mean GPS at a button's press is pretty cool along with the rest of the innards--especially the 3.2 MP shooter.
They do say copying is the sincerest form of flattery....although the American legal system might not agree.
