Samsung Galaxy i7500 pops up unlocked on Newegg

Sorry, subsidy fans, Samsung's Galaxy i7500 still isn't be offered by any carriers, but if you're jonesing, a listing for the Android-enhanced handset has made its way unlocked onto Newegg's website. It's got quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS, it theoretically should work on T-Mobile's 3G network, one of the few we can recall -- either way you'll still have GSM support for T-Mo and AT&T. Entry fee will be a Lincoln coin under $590; mum's the word on ship date, but now that the groundwork's been laid out, at least we know it's an inevitability.

Subsidize this thing and people will snatch it up. At $580, I think it's too pricey.

$590 is a goddamned ripoff. I bought mine at a different site for $65 less, and that was almost a month ago.

Just got mine at $499.99, the $65 you've bought must be on contract. The one I bought is unlocked and its compatible with T-mobile 3G.
