Samsung i7500 Preview
Guess what lacks here? Yes, a full fledged physical keyboard. Not all users are used to virtual touchscreen keyboard. A physical keyboard could have been a worthy addition. But all in all a good phone with nice features. Prices have not been declared yet but expect it to be less.

    Samsung getting serious day by day, either their vibrant advertising with Aamir Khan or introducing latest feature like Android platform, 8 megapixel camera. Samsung guys are very keen to capture the Indian market,I am waiting eagerly for Android phone, can you tell me the release date in India.

    No official words about release in India yet. But as it will be in June 2009 in European countries, expect it to arrive in India 2-3 months later from that.
