The German web site Bild.de is reporting some information they have received about the Samsung i7500. The device, says the report, is expected to be Samsung’s first phone using Google’s open source OS and is heading for a June release for O2 in Europe. This scotches previous rumors that the S8000 would be the Korean manufacturer’s first Android release. The i7500 handset is expected to offer 3G connectivity, feature a capacitive 3.2 inch OLED touchscreen with HVGA (480×320) resolution, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 5MP camera with flash, 8GB of memory expandable with a microSD slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The smartphone will be powered by Android 1.5 which includes all the lovely goodies from the Cupcake upgrade, and is expected to be priced at 300 Euros (about $400 US). Although the pictures shows the standard Android interface known from the G1, we hope Samsung will personalize the OS. Unfortunately, there is no word on U.S. availability.
