Samsung Galaxy Note, Donning a T-Mobile Logo, is Photographed in the Wild

Samsung's Galaxy Nexus is rumored to be headed to T-Mobile and other carriers soon. The website TmoNews has published photos of a Note sporting T-Mobile apps and branding, adding fuel to the rumors.

With a 5.3-inch screen, the nearly tablet sized Galaxy Note smartphone is a sales hit for Samsung and AT&T. But Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile can't currently sell this AT&T exclusive.

And while AT&T's competition haven't yet announced that they'll be selling the Note, rumors have been circulating that it's only a matter of time before the phablet shows up on rival store shelves.

Fuel, meet fire.

On Wednesday, the website TmoNews.com published photos of a Note sporting a T-Mobile logo sandwiched between the phone's earpiece and display -- the same spot where AT&T places its own logo.

Stoking the flames a bit more, the site also released photos depicting the Note with apps normally pre-installed on T-Mobile smartphones, such as T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile Mall, T-Mobile TV, and My T-Mobile. The images were credited to an unnamed source.

What do you think, T-Mobile subscribers, are you waiting for the Galaxy Note to arrive? Is the Note even worth considering when the Galaxy S III is expected to make its debut next week? Sound off in the comments below.
