O2 UK becomes the latest network to offer an Android powered handset as they launch the Samsung Galaxy i7500, the first non-HTC created device and the thinnest Google-powered device on the market today.
The Samsung Galaxy is a 3G handset with Android ‘Cupcake’ (so it’s vanilla in the vein of the G1 and HTC Magic, rather than the HTC Hero’s bespoke user interface), has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, 8GB of internal storage, and a 3.2″ AMOLED capacitive screen.
An exclusive on O2 for four weeks, the i7500 Galaxy will turn up on other networks in good time. The i7500 is available for free on a £44 per month pay monthly contract.
