Samsung i7500. HTWhat?
We feel bad for HTC. They were, officially, without question, the first manufacturer (in the UK at least) to release a phone sporting the Google Android OS with the HTC Magic. However, the magic of the Magic seemed to be that it, well, pretty much disappeared. Most likely this is because most people, when you saying the word HTC, look at you a bit funny and wonder whether you’re trying to sell them some kind of new party drug. Something we think might just have to do with HTC rocking a 0.16% share of the phone manufacturers market.
Luckily for Android’s future fame (something that’s going to start coming on thick and fast any week now), the Samsung i7500 is a phone made by one of the top three global phone manufacturers, and it’s not a bad little phone at all. There’s all the usual AMOLED touchscreen, 5MP camera, 3.5mm jack and other stuff going on here that we’ve no need to bore you with (check out this Samsung i7500 review for all the specs), but it’s the OS that is the real story here. Finally you can have all those Google goodies (that have one-by-one crept into your life without you even realising) in the palm of your hand. Whether you’re a Gmailer, YouTuber, Google Mapper, Google Calendiser (trust us, it’s a word) or whatever other kind of Google, the Samsung i7500 is going to make all those already efficient and wonderfully simple parts of your lives even more accessible and so all the more better.
The chances are the i7500 is going to be very quickly overtaken by other even more streamline / powerful / sexy Android-boasting phones, but for a short time at least, it’s going to be able to bask in the glory of being the first truly Android phone this country has seen. Check out the video below for a great little taste of what’s on its way. And anyone want to buy some HTC?
