the i7500 is the first Samsung's Android phone


It’s kind of funny how a phone can phone can appear out of nowhere as a solid rumor and then become official within 24 hours, but that’s exactly what has happened with Samsung’s first Android-powered smartphone, the I7500. Samsung and O2 Germany have both officially announced the device slated for a June release. The specs were also spot on:

Android 1.5 OS
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, dual-band UMTS/HSPA
528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7200A CPU
3.2-inch HVGA capacitive OLED touchscreen display
5 megapixel camera with LED flash
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
GPS
8GB internal flash memory
microSD slot
3.5 mm stereo jack
Metal case, 11.9 mm thick
Official pricing was not made public, but we have no reason to doubt yesterday’s rumored price of €300 ($397 US) considering that the rumor was bang on about everything else. Anyone else dying for the I7500 to make an appearance Stateside?
