So.. where's the Samsung i7500?

[Anonymous]

I knew I shouldn't of got excited, the rumours were that the samsung i7500 would be avaliable today on 02 ... but nothing on the website.

How much longer do I have to wait? I will be strong and not crumble and buy a G1.

Has anyone heard anymore from 02 about when it will be availiable?

You shouldn't get excited about rumours :womanindifferent:

But anyway, being serious, it's due next week - the 4th apparently. Keep an eye on these forums as there's a couple of threads about it. I'm like you and awaiting this. If I remember I'll post on here as I'm planning on getting it the second it's out! I've been able to upgrade for about five weeks and have been hanging on. Knowing my luck it'll come out then will be out of stock when I try and get it!

I feel like i've been waiting since Xmas for the samsung to come out.

I've had my heart sent on an android phone since the G1 came out but I never liked that handset. Then the rumours that samsung were throwing their hat in the ring got me excited. One thing samsung can do right is make really good looking and functional handsets combine that with the Android OS and its going to be a killer phone.

My contract has been up since May but i've held out so I can get this phone... why are they making us wait so long?

I think it's probably Samsungs fault. Was due mid-June in Germany first of all but seemed to be delayed a couple of weeks. It is essentially a brand new handset so I guess production is still ramping up. I'm looking forward to it!!

I think the thing i most looking forward to is being able to use the phone on my long commute to work and back each day.

Streaming radio, youtube, internet will make it fly by. The first thing im going to buy is a 16Gb microSD card ... im fully intending to replace my 5th gen ipod with this phone.

By all accounts there have been some delays getting everything working nicely on the Galaxy. Next week sounds optimistic to me, but you never know. And yes, this has to be one of the most eagerly anticipated Android handsets so far!

Another here waiting 'patiently', contract up and trying not to get tempted and go elsewhere.

o2 really should monitor the goings on in the world though and get 'on it' a little more.
They must have some idea on when it'll happen, yet they seem to think playing dumb and being quiet is the best option, which is just ridiculous.

I be Orange have sold shedloads of HTC Heros and gained lots of new contracts by simply putting the phone up initially as 'coming soon'.

Why be all mysterious about it?!!

yea it is a bit weird.. the only reason anyone knows its coming to 02 is become some eagle eye spotted it in their summer catalogue they haven't announced it at all.

Where as the plam-pre has been on the home page for a few weeks now and thats not coming untill near Xmas.

This lack of information has been a real frustration.

My old provider, Vodafone, are just as bad. Their "Coming soon" page is pants.

Look at it this way: unlike VF, at least o2 actually *have* decent stuff coming soon!

Im not sure about software problems .. the phone has been out in Germany on 02 for a few months and now its out in france and Italy which seems to indicate the phone is and has been ready for release for some time.
