Samsung i7500 Galaxy is the first manufacturer to enter the game HTC Android, and it does so with a fairly rich phone.

Exclusive to O2 in the UK is the Galaxy set thin, but just consider the Koreans firmly in the game Android?

The i7500 Galaxy has three characteristics evident when you pick it up: It is very thin 11.9mm thick, it feels very light at 116g and 3.2 inch screen is not great, but He dominates the frame. The display also packs current Samsung OLED technology, which makes the display bright and vibrant.

The general impression of the mirror phone, the Samsung jet – is a similar (though larger) arrangement on the back of the phone and has a strange spring-like response when you press, as the haptic device is clearly within its balanced.

The phone has a different arrangement of keys on other Android phones we know it repealed the search button and Home button between the left bruised and Back buttons.

And instead of the trackball, Samsung has struck a large D-pad with an ‘OK’ button in the center of the provision, which takes a much more honest and not really necessary.

One of the nice things Android, there is a design of the finger, i.e. the amount of time you have to reach for the D-Pad is minimal and confined mainly to moving between letters when typing text and change the fields.

We would have preferred that Samsung, the D-Pad down considerably and instead of us a great house-key, given how important it is narrowed.

The left side of the phone is up / down buttons, the volume in almost any application that irritating if you want to use things like the brightness of the screen cursor without a touchscreen, is limited.

The top of the phone has using the 3.5-mm headphone jack with easy-open micro-USB connector, the first choice for headphones, not in the way when in the pocket.

The right side of the camera phone tends to lock and key, with the first, a small button that is likely to irritate the life of Samsung i7500 users Galaxy (later) and it sports a nice design, with a highly segmented pressure for autofocus.

Again, there are no cons front video camera, as the current iteration of the Android OS seems not to support it, but it’s not a great loss for the moment.

Overall, the presentation of the Samsung i7500 Galaxy is very good – it’s 56mm wide, but overall, it just fits pretty good in my hand and thanks to the friendly bag is slim and lightweight.

In the box

This is a fairly basic tools in the box O2, with the notable exception of a strange case for the Samsung i7500 Galaxy

Except that there is a new Samsung PC Studio CD for PC connection, a set of 3.5mm headset with basic hands free / music controls and a micro USB charger and USB lead, so the phone to him itself and in the manual.

This is a beautifully put-together box and feels solid. However, if you go over £ 240 for a phone to spend on a contractual basis, then you probably want it to be nicely packaged.
