That would be the rumored new phone possibly coming to T-Mobile. A couple of tech news sites ran an article a few weeks back speculating with the exact info you see on that page. A couple of sites have the "rumored" specs and pic and are offering pre-sale. This is not confirmed by either T-Mobile or Samsung so I definitely wouldn't pre-order yet.
Another thread around here asking who's getting it is about three weeks old also.

not excited..
i've held the dx2, the sensation and other 4.3 inch phones, size is fine...but the att hercules is just bigger..
besides im not really focused on phones right now, my attention has been on tablets lately.. hopefully tmo will get a new nexus device in the fall or early next year..
just random... why is it that when i call tmo, it's like a party at their office, LOL.. i asked one time and the guy said that everybody is taking a break .. don't they have a break room or something? lol..

^ I think that's why they're the #4 carrier in the US and not higher.

it is supposed to be the tmobile version of the galaxy s2

No, that's also the Hercules. You can see the FFC hole on the left side and Vibrant doesn't have TouchWiz 4.0

Good lord I can't figure out if this company is a joke or if people actually purchase from them. I took a look at their prices and you have to shell out $100+ for each individual mod. In same cases the mod costs more than the phone itself ($250 for iPhone 4 mod...).
there was a blurb announcement somewhere that either a carrier in portugal or spain was releasing the SGS galaxy in white
kept meaning to find out who the carrier was and see if i could buy a white back cover but never got around to it - waiting to see if i keep the vibrant (if the gps issue gets resolved, i will)

Hmm, kid? Most certainly not. It was *light-hearted* fun, the same I'd poke at myself if I'd done the same thing. Relax people, it was an attempt to tone down some of the rather "vibrant" rhetoric that has been flaring up of late. That is all.

The specs are essentially the same as the epic, in that there is a qwerty keyboard, 1Ghz hummingbird. I'm not sure about screen resolution, but considering that this is also a CDMA phone, does anyone think it's possible to port the Indulge's 2.2 rom the Epic?

You might want to look over on the SDX Developers forum. The Indulge looks a lot like the Samsung transform. The Samsungs are usually over there. Vampirefo is the developer to ask about the Indulge. He was the main guy working on the Froyo port for the Transform.

This hardly matters given T-mobile's poor 3G coverage compared to practically every competing major carrier in the US.
It's sort of like the Evo/Epic 4G. Yea, 4G was nice but it's not like I'll have it anytime soon. I'm waiting for Verizon and/or AT&T to launch LTE, or maybe go back to AT&T and get an HSPA+ device. All I need is about 1.5 mbps consistent download speeds and I'm more than happy, TBQH. It's just a phone.
They should make their coverrage better.

Lookie who's back to threadcrapping.
OK I get the want for 4g. I dont see the point in buying a phone with close to the same specs when we have such decent phones around the corner.
Galaxy s 4g is not worth the upgrade for a 2-3 seconds faster page loads. I will hold onto my Vibrant and my soon to be HD2 until the tegra 3 arrives next year.

I really don't like Moto, but I'm always a sucker for second chances. It pretty much depends on two things.
When it's released.
Is the boot loader locked down tight?
Otherwise, it looks pretty good. But I thought the tegra2 had the same GPU (or similar) to the Epic?

Not really. Seems like it's more of a world-phone that I don't need. Now if I was a big traveler, I'd probably be all over this as it's the first good Android option on Sprint that has CDMA and GSM. Probably be the most expensive Android Sprint carries because of it.
