Design:

The Samsung I7500 sports a nice distinctive Samsung design. It has dimensions of 115 x 56 x 11.9 mm and weighs about 119 grams. That makes it much more slimmer than both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic, while both the HTC Magic and Samsung I7500 weigh just as same, still much lighter than the HTC Dream.

The display is a brilliant 3.2 inch OLED touchscreen display with a native resolution of 320 × 480 pixels and supports 16M colors. The superb display is one of the main highlights of the Samsung I7500. It is very sensitive and has a superb response. It doesn’t have a physical keyboard - but that shouldn’t be much of a problem - the virtual one in Android 1.5 should do just fine. The key layout has also been changed slightly.

Samsung has replaced the track ball with a D Pad, and some keys have been changed. The build quality is also very nice, easily just as good as the HTC Magic. All in all, a very compact and sleek design, coupled with commendable build quality. Say Hi to the slimmest and most powerful Android yet.
