O2 UK To Offer Samsung Galaxy i7500 From August?

Someone said (on here actually), that the camera hardware just wasn't good enough. So regardless of firmware updates, it wouldn't improve much.

I'm hoping this isn't true, but it put me off regardless.

An Omnia phone with android would be lovely...

Well i mean android restricts the video recording to 320x240, but it should be able to do VGA. The flash is seriously mistimed, so that can be fixed with firmware too. I also think the auto-focus agressivness should be controllable.

I've taken a few very good pictures with it, and it is definatly better than the HTC Hero camera. Personally I dont expect to get much more from a mobile phone camera. Megapixels are misleading of course

It has autofocus and a flash, which is good enough i think.

Who did you buy it through? The prices through O2-UK do look a bit much.

I used sotel.de (paid with paypal). They use GLS (postal service) to the UK and most of europe.

The postal service is usually rubish when there's customs involved (it sits there for ages), but inside the EU its really fast. There's no additional VAT or duty's to pay.

They picked up from sotel at 6pm on monday, and it arrived here 10am wednesday

Also Misco in germany do them for a similar price.
