Samsung Galaxy i7500 Pictured in White as Launch Nears

At first it was hoped Samsung’s first Android phone would be on sale in the UK during June, but at the beginning of July this date was pushed forward to the second week of August, which we hope remains accurate.  Coming at the same time as this adjusted release date was the news that O2 would be the UK operator flying the Galaxy flag.

All the initial photos of the i7500 showed a model in black, but now we have some leaked images showing a very fetching white version, a colour which seems to suit Android phones rather well.  So what have we got to look forward to in this Samsung offering?  Aside from the Cupcake Android OS, it has a 5 megapixel camera, 3G with 7.2Mbps HSDPA and HSUPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 8GB internal memory and a 320×480 AMOLED touchscreen.

Although the design is very HTC-like, the Galaxy’s specification is mouth-watering, especially the capacitive AMOLED toucshcreen!  Will it be released next week?  It’s not long to go until we find out!
