The rumors were so true. Samsung unveiled their first Android handset, i7500 today. With specs including 3.2" screen, 5MP camera, 8GB of onboard memory and up to 32GB of external memory and only 11.9mm thick, the i7500 has all the muscle to shake HTC into bettering their Gphone designs. The phone will be available across Europe beginning June 2009.
In a seperate event, O2 announced an exclusive launch of i7500 this June.

That's a beautiful piece of hardware... That kind of storage capability will hopefully make their competition step their game up. I think i'm a Samsung fan now.
