We really liked MeeGo OS, but MeeGo now is dead and got replaced with "Tizen", Someone got their hands on the Tizen SDK and snapped several screenshots. Note that they are not from a real device but from an emulator. Still, it is a preview of what we can expect.

The SDK is supposed to come out in Q1 of 2012, so seeing a preview of it at CES is likely. When the phone will appear is another matter. Anyway, here are the screenshots in question. They can almost be confused for Bada screenshots, with little remaining of MeeGo innovative design.

Interestingly, the Tizen SDK reports the browser user agent as Samsung I9500. The odd thing is not that Samsung is working on a Tizen phone, but that the I9xxx line is usually for their flagship Androids I9000 Galaxy S, I9100 Galaxy S II, I9250 Galaxy Nexus. That was rumored before that the I9500 will be the Galaxy S III.

A Render-photo appeared from the Tizen SDK by Sammobile shows an unannounced device that rumored to be the Upcoming Samsung GT-I9500 (Picture above).

The device seems to have a metal border with metal buttons and it seems that this device is the same size as the Galaxy S2. Also the home button apparently needed replacing, instead of the rectangular shape it is a square shape now.

One thing is certain it support a front-facing camera and it has a large speaker on the front. And it looks like that device will have a shutter button aswell.
