PocketNow has a great track record with getting official pictures of phones before they're launched and they're back at it again. What you're looking at here is the Samsung Replenish which should be hitting Sprint on May 5th. Earlier today we heard that Dan Hesse is holding a "green" event tomorrow so that could be when this handset gets official.

Rumoured specs for this one include a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 600MHz CPU, a portrait QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, a QVGA display, and Android 2.2 "Froyo". Phone Scoop has mentioned that this handset is made out of recycled plastic and will also come in pink, blue, as well as black colours.

Eco-Friendly Samsung Replenish Headed To Sprint, With Android?

We heard about the Samsung Replenish a few days ago but it was rumoured to be a feature phone. New details have trickled in and this is now rumoured to be a "green" Android handset from the company running the Android OS. The press release is reportedly on April 15th with the launch set for May 5th. That's all we know for now but maybe there'll be a solar panel on it or something because it's going to have to "replenish" in some way.
