Update: Since there are a lot of upset AT&T customers out there, a caring tipster decided to drop a photo over at Android Central that suggests AT&T may be getting a keyboard-less version of the GSII as well. With that said, I will express my absolute skepticism about this. There is but a single picture, and we all know how easily photographs can be manipulated. So, before you get too excited, I urge you all to take this at face value until we get more proof.

Boy Genius Report landed some exclusive pictures of AT&T's variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II, and it's going to be the crown jewel of QWERTY lovers across the country with its slide-out physical keyboard:

According to BGR, the GSII still retains a rather thin profile, despite the addition of the keyboard.

When word of this slider leaked out yesterday, it was unclear exactly what it was - but this new set of shots verifies that it is indeed the Galaxy S II:

BGR's tipster also took the liberty of performing some common benchmarks, which yielded some unmatched results.

While there is no word on whether or not the rest of the innards of this monster phone have changed from the European variants, there is one thing for certain: the Galaxy S II is coming to the US, and it's coming soon. We're not entirely sure if it will carry the Galaxy S II moniker or take on a different name entirely (like the Galaxy S/Captivate), but hopefully we'll find out soon.
