Samsung i7500 passes FCC.

AWESOME, the most sexiest Android device to date just got FCC approval to run on American air waves. From what we have learned from the leaked T-Mobile road maps this device should release sometime in fall, whoopee! This FCC filing shows up with AWS 3G alongside 850 and 1900MHz EDGE, we should be so privileged....lol.

I will have to say I love this device so far... I can't wait for more info and videos to drop for the i7500. This will be the best looking device so far, . . . until, maybe the Magic/Sapphire/whatever drops.

Rumors: Samsung Bigfoot, Samsung Spica and Android Donut (2.0)???

Apparently the Motorola Bigfoot is not a Motorola after all. . . at least what the rumor mill has brought us today. The Bigfoot is suposedly a Samsung device running the Android OS. Just like what Phandroid was reporting that if you compare the “Samsung Bigfoot” and “Motorola Bigfoot” to the image initially leaked in the T-Mobile Roadmap, you’ll find that the SAMSUNG BIGFOOT is actually a closer match!From what we have heard here at Droidhead is that people where loving the look of the "Motorola" but would rather have the reliability of the "Samsung". I do feel the same way, if the first image was the Moto and the second Samsung I would love it. . . who knows, this is just a rumor for now.

This is the rumored Samsung Spica. The Spica has a rap sheet already and even though it looks like the i7500 (Houdini) it has differences. The i7500 has a larger screen then the Spica and it will run what the rumors are calling Android 2.0 (donut) along with Samsungs UI called TouchWiz. How?. . . We don't know, or know why. But here are some more pictures floating around.
And a quick comparison of the i7500, Bigfoot, and Spica:

I don't know about you but I would go with the i7500, but that is just my opinion.

i7500 Hands on video.

Here is an awesome hands on video of the Samsung i7500, or is it Capella? Watch in the video where the reviewer looks at the firmware on the new Samsung device and look at the model number. . . you know where it says Samsung_Capella. Thank you Phandroid for the lead on this video. This device is showing a 5.0 MP camera with video capture, a beautiful design and what looks to be full accelerometer. That is ALWAYS a plus, you know, just in case you pull it out of your pocket up-side-down, or you just want to turn it to the right this time. Either way from the video you can tell it will be running Android 1.5 (Cupcake). I know if you are reading this you will agree with me when I say, Samsung. . . HURRY UP ALREADY!

Droid Rumors: T-Mobile to release new Android devices.

From the looks of the image plastered all over the internet today, TmoToday.com is showing a road map of T-Mobiles future ideas. What has us a little excited here at Mobile Now! is the fact that more Android devices seem to be trickling out of the wood work.
First thing is first the G1 is rumored to be seeing an "End of Life" (That's what the EOL stands for.), but replacing it is the G1 v.2 aka Bigfoot. Mobile Now! not having the full information on this device can say that it looks to be almost Helio Ocean like, with a slide out qwerty keyboard. We can give you more info. when it is recieved.
Second, the road map shows us a picture of the "G2 HTC Sapphire" dropping in the summer time. The "G2" is Rumored to be the MyPhone 3G, or in Europe the HTC Magic. T-Mobile will have alot of happy campers on there hands with these two rumored devices.
What we think, is that the Samsung Houdini pictured above releasing in the fall time of next year will be the newly spied Samsung i7500. That will make those happy customers, become ecstatic costumers
All in all it is just a rumor . . . but boy can't we wait.
