Hopefully this pulls through and excites many a Bell customer.. just in time for the holidays! Android 1.5 is better than no Android at all, right?

Lets see if any Canadian guy, with spare time and linux capabilities can make a ROM that has the 2.0 and brings the Galaxy to the spot light.

Hands off this device! Seriously.
I still runs Android 1.5 and its unclear whether it will ever run higher than 1.6. Or even when it will run 1.6.
Also the firmware is badly optimised for the hardware and it actually runs slower than the G1.
Samsung has and is continuing to fuck up.

Am I the only one out here kinda upset that a p.o.s.like that has 8 gigs onboard,and most of the other androids rolled out recently still have 258 megs?Devs aren’t going to see the download numbers they want to see until we have the space available to really take advantage of a market that has really grown to an impressive size.Got my g1 prior to paid apps,and really have to scrutinize any decision,based on available room,lag,etc.Not everyone seems willing to adopt root and a2sd as some of us have.

At one point this phone interested me, but with the Motarola Milestone set to come to telus early next year, I gotta go with that.

I couldn’t agree with you more deezle. Samsung had one device that actually could start to compete with the Iphone.

[...] the border, and John Candy. So it’s only adequate that we give you the Android in return. We told you last week that the Samsung Galaxy would go on sale December 10th on Canada’s Bell and it looks like [...]

I bought one Samsung i7500 last week, main problem is battery. It will take 2 hrs to 100% charging and works only 8 hrs, after it said low % like 20%. So, we have to charge twice a day.
