Of course, it has to happen
sooner or later — but how about “any day now?” According to
Register Hardware (which sure seems to hear a lot of “stuff,” you know, from “people who know stuff”) a “handful” of O2 store employees have reported seeing the Samsung Galaxy on the chain’s stock management system, which lists it as arriving in stores “next week.” In addition, while not listed on O2’s website, you can filter for a search for i7500 accessories, although that doesn’t really tell us anything we don’t already know. No price yet, or even solid confirmation that this is happening, but you’ll get all the glorious facts as soon as we do. Promise.

Here’s some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of mobile for Tuesday, August 4th, 2009:
- Following the G’zOne C731 Rock, Casio’s C741 Brigade for Verizon has nabbed FCC clearance. Not much is known about the phone — we can assume it’ll be ruggedized to one degree or another — but one interesting tidbit is the inclusion of VCAST TV support, something Verizon’s been getting lax on as of late. [Via PhoneArena]
- Have you seen a white / silver Samsung i7500 Galaxy? Now you have. [Thanks, Ruben W.]
- China’s regulatory peeps have had the good fortune of seeing a couple new Philips Xeniums in their midst, a K700 full touch model and an X501 candybar. Philips has yet to announce either unit, but you can bet they’ll last until the next ice age on a single charge. [Via Unwired View]
- Microsoft’s MSDN — its official developer network — has published a case study on porting an iPhone app to Windows Mobile. A year ago, you’d have been more likely to see case studies going in the other direction, but, you know, times are changing. [Via Tweakers.net]
- Digia put together a nice little web browser for UIQ called @Web, but then UIQ sorta went away — so they’re back at it again, this time on S60 5th Edition in beta form. S60 does a decent job browsing out of the gate, but @Web’s got some interesting UI elements that might make it worth a look. [Via All About Symbian]
- We don’t see much of it in the States, but Samsung’s got a whole brand — DuoS — for dual-SIM capable handsets. Mobil.cz has dug up a new model in the series, a low-end candybar dubbed C3212 that’ll run the equivalent of around $195 and go on sale in Russia later this summer before expanding to other European markets. [Via Mobile Phone Helpdesk]
- Value brand Cricket is adding yet more value to its unlimited voice plans that start at a bargain-basement $40. The $40 price point now includes web access; $45 gets you unlimited email, backup, and 30 roaming minutes a month, and $55 ups the roaming to 200 minutes.

We can say with some confidence now that HTC’s planning on taking Android to a new, mega-cheap market with the upcoming Click — and as the old saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Samsung — which also looks to be making an Android push, hot off the launch of its inaugural i7500 Galaxy — has just garnered WiFi certification for a heretofore-unknown i5700 “Galaxy-lite,” which certainly has all the makings of a stripped-down Galaxy from its model name and number. We know precisely zlich about what the i5700 actually entails, but we’re encouraged by the fact that they managed to leave WiFi in; question is, what features of the Galaxy would we be okay to see go on a lower-cost model? AMOLED? The high-spec camera? Awesomeness? [Warning: PDF link]

Feeling a little envious of the Android-based
Samsung Galaxy now available in
Germany and soon to be available in
other parts of Europe? Then you’re in luck, sort of, as a new “A3LGTI7500L” model complete with US 3G has now sailed through the FCC. Unfortunately for those of us ’round these parts, that “L” at the end of the model name signifies that this particular model is intended for Latin America, but it’s still about as close as you’ll get to a practical option for the time being — at least until those
T-Mobile rumors pan out.

Hey, nice Samsung Galaxy you got there! Whoa, whoa, wait… you sure you want to turn that thing on? Are you physically and emotionally prepared for what happens next? See, in a world where space travel knows no boundaries, Facebook has its own planet, and Samsung makes Android-powered phones, cute robots ride (yes, ride) i7500s from heavenly body to heavenly body in search of entertainment and friendship. Follow the break for the whole video, and watch really closely for the part at the end where the Galaxy collides with Earth and accidentally causes an extinction-level event.

The big Android news today is all out of London and New York today, but if we move a bit eastward, there’s some cool stuff going on in Deutschland, too: Samsung’s i7500 Galaxy is now available. The beastly smartphone immediately becomes the highest-end Android device to date and will have a little while to enjoy the top of the hill until the Hero drops, thanks in no small part to its 5 megapixel cam, support for 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 8GB of internal storage, and a 3.2-inch AMOLED display. Looks like it’s yours for €69.99 (about $98) on contract, so count us in — and how about some time on the Nürburgring while we’re at it?
[Thanks, Jon]
