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 If we had to guess, this is probably a newer version of the same product concept that we'd seen in that roadmap a few weeks back -- Sammy probably started with its Beat DJ (or an Ocean 2) and worked backwards from there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.

Is there a hidden rule that all Android handsets need to be butt ugly?

Stop messing around with this junk and release the Galaxy/i7500 already!

This looks more like an entry level handset than a high end one. I don't know, that screen looks smaller than 3" to me and where are the send, end, and back buttons?
