The I7500 is 3.5G smart-phone, offering quad-band GSM and announced with tri-band HSDPA (900/1700/2100) at 7.2Mbps (however, Samsung’s official pages for the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish versions only mention dual-band UMTS 900/2100). The phone features a 3.2-inch AMOLED touch screen, a 5 Megapixel autofocus camera with power LED flash, and a digital compass. Unlike the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (the G1), the I7500 has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Directional Pad in place of a trackball. Software-wise, the I7500 offers a suite of Mobile Google services, including Google Search, G mail, You Tube, Google Calendar, and Google Talk. The phone’s GPS enables Google Maps features such as My Location, Google Latitude, and Street View. It also supports MP3, AAC (including iTunes Plus downloads), WMA audio, and H.264 video.
