Although the Samsung I7500 is yet to be released (we’ll need to wait until June), it is already being tipped to have the potential to be one of the best Smartphones of 2009. With a 3.2-inch AMOLED touch screen, the I7500 remains faithful to Samsung’s slim and sleek designs by having a mere 11.9 mm of thickness. It also has a 5-Megapixel camera and boasts up to 40 GB of memory. It supports the latest versions of data transfer technologies such as GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, 3G, and WLAN, to name a few. According to sources, the launch price of the I7500 will be £260.The distinctive feature of this Smartphone is that it is one of a select few that is powered by Google’s operating system. The Samsung I7500 will be making use of the Android v1.5 which is deemed to be a revolutionary OS. However, Samsung has already announced its intention to release two more Smartphones; only this time they’ll be running version 2 of the Google OS.
Bigfoot
Both the Samsung Bigfoot and the Samsung Spica are said to be “trimmed down” versions of the I7500. This means that once they’re released, they should come at a cheaper price.
True to its name, the Bigfoot is bulkier than the I7500 with a 16.3 mm thickness. Similar to the Spica, the Bigfoot is equipped with a 3-Megapixel camera and a 3-inch screen. The main disadvantage of these two Smartphones is that it only has 1GB of internal memory and you’ll need to make use of a microSD memory card to expand the storage space.
Spica
The 2G and 3G network capabilities of the Samsung Spica, and the Bigfoot as well, are similar to that of the I7500. The Smartphone also has GPS and Wi-Fi capabilities. Aside from the small disparity in size, the only difference of the Spica is that it will be using a TouchWiz GUI instead of the more familiar Android interface.
Both handsets are to be released in the third quarter of this year and their retail prices are yet to be announced. Moreover, the advancements of v2.0 of Android are also unknown as of yet.
