Samsung I7500 Galaxy review: A hitchhiker's guide - read the full textAndroid is set on grabbing the number two spot in the smartphone market by 2012 and the Samsung I7500 Galaxy might be the type of phone to get it there. Perhaps less for the Galaxy at this point, and...

 

Phone is quite nice- fast, good looking Android, nice gps, divx support.
Looking forward to Android 2- theres no official version for Samsung, but Htc Hero is also still running on old 1.5... we just had to wait.

They should have kept that ambitious name for something more special indeed.

It's December and still no Android 1.6 or 2.0 for this phone. In fact Samsung has not even said if they are working on it. The PC software is still completely broken. Stay away.

So ugly-looking phone. And the design is taken from 2005 models. Very bad product from Samsung. Perhaps they thought Android lovers give a damn about the style / design.

I just bought this Samsung phone for my own use on T-Mobile in the US. I love the phone and it works on T-Mobile 3G, but there is no Android Market installed on the device, can someone tell me why?

Android still new and limited.

Wait for Android 2.0 to see what enhancement will add on.

Android just wont work on nokia's, they have the biggest brand, but doesnt mean anything these days, I used this phone and other android phones, and I Was mega impressed with it, if I wasnt in contract already and work for vodafone and get an amazing staff tariff I would get it for sure, good job on this samsung!!!!

I wanted to know if the Android OS can be updated to a new version via internet downloads and not firmware update. Is that possible? Cos I don't like the idea of flashing phone to update its OS as it is very tedious job for me.

android though has lots of potential is not being put to "actual" use. Unless a company like Nokia doesn't use it, android well never see the true light of the day, because companies like Samsung or HTC though are implementing the OS, neither of them have the market and brand value of Nokia.....
