Samsung I7500 Passes FCC!

[ghettoyungin718]

Today new documents seen on the FCC web site show that the announced Samsung i7500 will include support for T-Mobile's 1700MHz 3G network. This information was included in the original press materials, but the FCC approval makes it more formal. The i7500 will have a 3.2-inch AMOLED touch screen, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, and 8GB of built-in memory. It also has a microSD memory card slot for additional storage (up to 32GB). Neither Samsung or T-Mobile have revealed when the phone will come to market.

Y'all have no idea how badly I want this phone.

I wasn't impressed with the last batch of Samsung phones, ie the instinct and behold, but this one is running android, it won't be some crippled pos software.

i do too...:)

Meh I want something like that Motorola that that has the slide QWERTY keyboard. That way I can type out long messages without waiting for my phone to auto-rotate.

[beatle7777777]

ive noticed that im not even using the keyboard more and more, so scince this phone has every feature you could want in a android phone ( a built in ice cream maker would be nice too).plus it actually looks nice, i think this might be the perfect phone for me and alot of people

[RaQHoliday]

Yeah, i definitely want this one in my life. ASAP.

[dan12288]

now that this phone has built in 8gb of storage will the apps be install to that? which means we can add more apps on our phones?

[SDscorch]

yes.. watching this phone very closely!

Even though this phone has 8gb of internal memory, it has less RAM than the g1 so that means it would be slow

[RichardRahl]

I'm a little torn also. I really liked this phone when it was first announced. But the processor and memory issue make me hesitate. its the age old problem with technology, do I get the device that is available now or soon will be and is good enough, or wait for the one that we've been teased with (SonyEriccson Xperia) which won't be available for a while to come but with better specs.

it's not at all slow and has 192 RAM just like the G1. I bought mine from Germany from ebay, but it was never used (it was even sealed). I have it from friday and the only dissapointment is the battery life, although i read somewhere that it improves after 5-6 charges. I charged it for the 3rd time today and in 12 hour it went from 100% to 70%, using only 2G connection, background data and google sync disabled. Most of this period was during the night and the only thing running on it was the alarm, no widgets, no apps in background, nothing. I was expecting something better because from the android devices currently on the market this one has the best battery (1500mAh) and the AMOLED screen (which looks great btw) it's said to consume less power. If it weren't for this battery issue then this device would be great, but having to charge it every day simply spoils all the fun. And and I don't think it's a hardware problem with my battery because I read a lot of complaints about this issue on the italian and german forums. There is a firmware update from Samsung and they say it improves the battery life, I haven't tried it because the last firmware update caused even more problems (random reboots, screen flickering, etc) so I'll wait to see if this update is ok.
