Samsung i897 Coming To At&t
Time for another high-end Android phone to join the market, this time its by Samsung and reportedly coming to At&t. Back in January, we reported on the Samsung Galaxy 2, with recent reports showing the Galaxy S is coming to T-Mobile this year. Now there's another Samsung device, which is very similar to the Galaxy S, dubbed the i897.
Back in March, Bluetooth.org posted some information on this device, showing that it includes Bluetooth 3.0, a 4" AMOLED screen, and the TouchWiz 3.0 interface. AndroidGuys got an anonymous tip that the phone will also be running Android 2.1 at launch, that it will be coming to At&t with a 5MP camera and 2GB of internal storage. It will also have the 800x480 resolution.
And now, XDA user Drayvin has pulled some APK files from the i897, including "MSpot radio", which, when installed, goes into the menu as a 10 minute trial of At&t Radio. According to him, the phone is coming out in July, but he didn't provide any information on how he got his hands on one.

IF IT DOESN’T HAVE A SLIDE OUT LANSDCAPE KEYBOARD, IT’S A KID’S TOY !!!!!!!!!!
Professionals require an ADULT sized keyboard.
I used to be like you tt. Lets have a typing race. Us kids love to race. I will swype the floor with ya! I actually have a keyboard right now (touch pro), but can type faster with swype. That is why I’m not sweating getting the EVO.

@roghaj –
Ha Ha! I agree, some of the new phones with on-screen keyboards have gotten nearly as good as a physical keyboard if not better. To each his own, it’s good that we have choices. The on-screen keyboard of the EVO is going to be nice with it’s 4.3″ screen plus multi-touch! I’m sure everybody will adapt from the physical keyboard in short time.
another android device… just as exciting as passing gas
@itster – Unfortunately there’s not many new WM devices since everyone is probably waiting for WP7 at this point.
Specs !!! Does this have wi-fi n???
