It's just a mock-up that Google has been using since the release of Android. In fact, it may have been created before the public release of the Centro. Not entirely sure.
Anyway, props to AT&T for at least speculating. Although I'm sure they will never adopt an OS that allows the owner to actually OWN the phone. No hate though, AT&T, we love you for the iPhone, still.
@ danny: If you read the android press releases and info, they said that part of the extensibility of Android would be that carriers could lock down the os as much or as little as they want.
Of course, I'm sure there'd be nothing keeping folks from installing a more lenient version of Android, but that's been going on for years with Motorola's base OS's.

Looks a lot like it, and you know, I actually like its simple design and the seemingly larger - and thus more usable - keys.
