Samsung i7500 Galaxy UK Release Confirmed Android i7500 O2 Availability from August

Samsung's first Android powered phone, the Samsung i7500 Galaxy, is set
to become available from August via the O2 network, reports coming in
today have confirmed, though its not known at this juncture whether O2
will exclusively carry the i7500 Galaxy or whether other UK networks
will also be offering the handset (certainly, to date, no other UK
network have confirmed that they'll be carrying it).

There's no word from O2 as at the time of writing concerning pricing,
but O2 have confirmed that the Samsung i7500 Galaxy will only be
available on contract. What is known is that the Samsung i7500 Galaxy is
being offered SIM-free on a number of sites for around the 500GBP price
point (which, all said and done, doesn't help us narrow in on expected
O2 pricing in the least).
