Wow, it looks much more polished. The white version looked terrible before, this one doesn't look so bad.

It def. DOES look better. This is not a production model, though, I think. A later version of a prototype, and possibly identical in look to the production models, but look at the bottom of the "kicktail"...

Hard to make out, but a little easier if you go to the original poster's picasa album...

It says something like:
"HT828QZ000..." and his hand is covering the rest.

If you look at the movie from [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PjoOPZcQwQ[/ame]
from a while back, we knew that was prototype hardware he was using, and it has an almost identical (but earlier?) serial #.

Best I can make out it is:
"HT818GZ000403"

Plus, this new white phone doesn't have any branding screen printed on it. So, this is definitely a prototype. I'd say the person carrying it might want to get these pictures taken away/covered up fast, in case this serial # can be traced back to him!

But, again, yeah...this thing looks WAY nicer in decent lighting.

Is it me or does the keyboard appear to be darker??

[DesignDawg]

It does appear to be darker. But in the original photos, it looked metallic, like aluminum maybe... And if it is, will will appear dark or light depending on what there is to reflect in the incident angle. In this case, the light is very diffused on the phone because the person is in the shade of a tree (and it looks cool and awesome where this person is!). Diffused daylight is great for white surfaces, because it really lights up the diffuse reflection. --But if that keyboard is shiny, it has little diffuse reflection, and more specular, which, in this case, can only reflec the person's body or the shaded underside of the tree canopy, perhaps a building he is standing beside, etc...

(Or maybe it's darker?)

Anyone else curious to see what's on the screen? I was. Unfortunately, due to the quality of the source, we can't make out much...

But give it a try:


Does this look like any familiar part of the interface to anyone? Looks like tabs at the top of the screen...maybe its an app. I haven't seen this in the emulator. I did notice a few colorful little icons along the top of the screen I wasn't familiar with either...

Anyone else find any little gems in there?

It could be the customized android OS SDK...
I can see Androdi having the option of changing the menu left and right - up and down ... it is customizable and open remember ?

Rickey - notice the first picture screen - tabs are on the top ... it is a little dark but you can see it and it almost looks the same as your screen shot

No. That IS the same as my screen. That's where my picture came from. I just rotated/distorted it to square up, and tweaked the levels on it for maximum readability.
