As most of our reades know, o2 will start sellinng its first Android powered device very soon. Since we getting closer to the official launch of the device, the name of the device was changed from i7500 to “Galaxy”. Also some more infos about the pricing were leaked, the device can either be purchased from o2 germany with a contract, or you can buy it without any contract at a price of 437,50 Eur. The galaxy will come to you with 8GB of builtin storage(sd slot available). Another nice feature is the 3,5mm standard headphone jack which allows you to use any headphone you like, standard ones and also the high end ones from BOSE or similar. It seems that beta testers of the device report the same behaviour of the battery: Not very powerfull….so you must propbaly charge the device every 2 days or so if you use it the whole day for surfing (3G activated) etc. But on the other hand, the OLED display must be awesome. So perhaps its enough to disable 3G while not surfing the net or downloading apps and just set the display to a not very high brightness.
