[living_sword]

No spy shots this time, but there is enough info to get you excited because this one's heading Stateside.

Samsung is currently busy readying its Gphone for Q2 next year to be released via Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile. There are 30 Linux and Java experts currently sweating it out, the whole team has up to 80 developers. Although the developers have been at it for a year, Sprint needs a Gphone quick and has asked Samsung to speed-up.

A Samsung official said, “We are accelerating the development process for Google phone in order to meet the specific need of local carriers. We will be able to release Google phone in the second quarter of the next year in the US market. ”

The phone itself will be a full touchscreen, imagine a Omnia-like design only sleeker. The UI will obviously be different and have all things Google like Maps, Search, GTalk, Gmail etc.

G1's design wasn't exactly well received, so everyone in the know are pinning their hopes on Samsung to deliver.

I think I may be in the minority but I hope Sprint gets an Android phone with a keyboard too. I dont really like full on touch screens, but we shall see...
