Samsung's Android-equipped i7500 confirmed for O2

We don't know everywhere that the i7500's going to land yet -- the presence of AWS 3G is still giving us loads of hope that it'll come to T-Mobile USA eventually -- but one place we're quite sure of is Germany, where O2's local outpost has now said that it'll launch in "the next couple of months." That lines up nicely with what we'd been expecting prior to the phone's announcement -- so now we just need, oh, say, about 20 more announcements around the world and we'll be good to go. Any time now, Sammy.

Well since its got the US based freq on it, couldn't one technically just bring it on over from O2 without having to worry about Sammy issuing it stateside.
Looks like a nice phone but I like the trackball better. Also..... why are they just mimicking another phone?
Lets see someone actually change things up a bit.... like faster proc maybe? Although I do love the 3.5 mm jack (BASTARD HTC).
Speaking of humpback whales....... I like pudding too.

This phone got a tough rap on some other sites but I don't know why - I actually really kinda like it!

Ahh this BETTER come out on Orange in the UK as their current line up is pants, and I need to upgrade soon.
I really hope this isn't an "Exclusive" phone in the UK, tied down to a provider, running its Open Source software.

I'd like to see it confirmed for Rogers, but I'll be in the cold, cold ground before they get an Android phone.
