Default Could this be the AT&T Samsung i897 (Galaxy S)

AndroidGuys are showing what "appears" to be a Samsung i897 (Could this be AT&T version of the Galaxy S)

Whoever took those pictures is useless with a camera. Half a dozen pics and you still cant see what the thing looks like.
Samsung Galaxy S II - Android 2.3.3(XWKF3)

But maybe the news source is just badly informed and assumed from recent devices that all 1GHz Androids utilize the snapdragon. I can't see any sense from Samsungs point of view to license Snapdragon at this point, when they cooked up something better themselves.

Looks like its different, as the casing is not the same. May be the same specs, though.

Everywhere I read about this i897 they mention that the phone has an AMOLED not a Super AMOLED screen. Without the enhanced screen, without the hummingbird processor and with possibility of having to wait a long time for it to be unlocked/rooted.. I don't see a reason for choosing this phone over the N1.

I'm with you on that. I'm hoping that the articles are wrong, or that the true Galaxy S ends up at AT&T.
