Samsung i7500 Galaxy from O2 Germany

I thought I would post a link I found to a PDF on O2's website that states what the price of the Samsung i7500 with Android. The flyer says that it will cost 367€ without a contract.

Check it out here. Some updates are on the O2Online.de blog, saying that it should be available either this week or next.

I hope I won't be out of luck if I ask for it with an english UI :)

Update: Nooooooo.... I was just checking out a youtube video preview of the i7500 and discovered a horrible design decision on the part of Samsung. In spite of having designed the  device with a 3.5mm audio jack (thank you Samsung!) they used one of those super annoying, hard-to-find, flat USB jacks.


The flat USB jacks are horrible and tend to break quite easily. It's also not saving any space as there is a huge 3.5mm jack directly beside it - the whole point of the flat USB connectors is that they're supposed to be used when thickness is an issue.

Read this, and just know that I'm shaking my head 'no' right now in disappointment.

Incidentally, has anyone found out of there is a regular Mini USB connector with the same pinouts as the flat type? I wouldn't mind just soldering out the old one and putting in a standard Mini USB jack.
