  • After we informed you that Samsung i7500 was probably going to be Samsung’s first Android handset, the entire affair became official and Samsung went out and announced the smartphone. Samsung is one of the earliest members of the Open Handset Alliance, so this move is pretty logical and predictable, but we’re sure there are more phones like this coming.
