A new picture of Samsung’s Bigfoot Android phone for T-Mobile USA has emerged, the smartphone that was initially tipped to replace the G1 in Q3 2009. The Bigfoot is expected to have a 3-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, presumably similar to that the company has used in the Samsung I7500 aka Galaxy.
There’s also believed to be UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, taking advantage of T-Mobile USA’s 3G network, and it seems sensible to assume that it will have WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. A 3-megapixel camera is also expected, and of course there’s that full QWERTY keyboard and what look to be some well-placed stereo speakers.
According to the BGR’s sources, the Samsung Bigfoot is actually set to launch in the very near future. No word on pricing or specific launch dates, however, but if that “really soon” prediction pans out, we shouldn’t have too long to wait.
Imma sucka for color, but eh!
Hmmm... I wonder what other colors going to drop ?
I'm thinking Bright Yellow
I'm not.
Fail.
That said, does anybody have specs? It's between this and the "Galaxy" to be my next Android phone. I can't wait!
it doesnt have the 4 necessary buttons for home, back, call, and end like its supposed to...

P.S. I think the lime green is awesome, and I'm a "little" older than 16.
I'm waiting till a phone blows the g1 out of the water before I replace it (and I doubt a smaller screen/keyboard is going to do that (Would like to see AMOLED in person though...)).

I think the best thing you can do is to not grow too attached to the hardware's UI as the software UI doesn't require all devices and/or manufacturers to make use of it the same way. When you're a proponent of an open platform, such as Android, you'd better be open to the ideas of adaptability and change.
My 2 cents!
if you play music with the phone closed they'll be muffled. i hope you were being sarcastic

If I recall correctly Google was requiring mobile devices to have those physical buttons for a while weren't they ?
I can't quite remember where I heard this but if I can find a source I'll provide it.

Squished keys? I like mine spaced out.
A few other factors too.

And I REALLY hope Sammy makes a Bigfoot dressed in all-black.
like so
Why does every phone need to come in BLACK/SILVER
Maybe it's another attempt to pull more of the sidekick fanboys/girls over to Android
On the topic of color, at this point, color me interested.
As for color? Never been a fan of colorfull phone. When it comes to phones I prefer the industrial look, black, silver, chrome and the like. But every thing else on it seems great.
