Is the AT&T Touch Pro2 Keyboard Even Real?

AT&T totally is re-doing the keyboard on the Touch Pro2, eschewing the natural off-set keyboard layout found on desktops for a more crunched keyboard that is reminiscent of the original Touch Pro. The layout also adds a number pad to the side of the keyboard, which will make dialing and password entry a bit easier for those typing on the go, although the trade off is that you may have to reach a bit further with your right hand when typing. But there's something wrong with the keyboard for a USA keyboard layout. The keyboard Y and Z keys are switched, which is not American.

With all these keyboard changes that AT&T is requesting from manufacturer HTC and the odd switch of the Y and Z keys, is this a work in progress where we can see an entirely different keyboard layout and design upon launch? Moreover, although the slides that are presented are branded by AT&T, there isn't AT&T branding on the device. To me, it looks like any other HTC device, just with a different keyboard and different color scheme.
