Genisudog254 is right, this looks so fake!! look at the jpeg artefacts around the samsung sign, dial/hangup buttons etc and compare that to how clean the screen is, if you look at the clock you can even make out the seconds. It is obvious that the screen and the phone come from 2 completely different sources.

Now this is really nothing out of the ordinary. When it comes to photographing anything with a screen no professional photographer takes a photo of the thing with the screen on. They leave the screen off and photoshop it in later. This is so the screen looks super crisp; like how it is in this case.

But in this case you can tell the screen was added to some compressed jpg off the net, not onto the original hi-res camera shot as you’d expect if it was a professional product shot.

This image would have been so much more realistic if it’s creator just increased the jpg compression on the screen, then pasted it to the phone.

That was the front view, but now look at what’s going on with the profile view and the back view LOL… I don’t even know where to begin, it’s all so wrong!!! the profile shot leads us to believe that the back of the phone is silver; but then the back shot shows it to be black. Well at least all the buttons match up though.

My actual G1 has a G in the data icon from time to time, depending on where I am around town. So I’m pretty sure that’s not an indication of an earlier release, though it is a bit odd.

And it’s not even running android 1.0 (aka release version) that is a screenshot of an earlier emulator version (0.9 or before) because if it were 1.0 it would show either 3G or E in the data icon spot instead of G. ;)

Amazing how much this looks just a mockup of a combination of Omnia/Instinct with a picture of an Android home screen pasted onto it ;)

Hmmm… Google translate apparently isn’t up to handling some Dutch phrases:-)

What it says is:
And last but not least, Samsung will announce their first Android smartphone in two weeks time. Details on this handset, and what features it will offer, we have to keep secret for the time being. What we can say, though is that it’s a promising set, with the user friendliness we’re used to from Samsung.
