samsung-i7500-androidO2 has effectively confirmed that they are going to be carrying the first Samsung Android handset, in the shape of the i7500 Galaxy. The handset makes an appearance in the July edition of their catalogue, in the ‘coming soon’ section.

The supposed arrival date for the handset is August – which is interesting itself, as that puts it right between the iPhone 3GS (now) and the Palm Pre (October I reckon…) in terms of ‘go-live’ date!

The i7500 is well-loaded with tech too – 5MP camera, 8GB memory – how does that sound?

Crumbs – now what if O2 get the Toshiba TG01 in as well – then they will have a stable of new, funky devices, that includes:

  • iPhone OS(X)
  • WebOS
  • Android
  • WinMo

That’s a fairly complete spread!

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
