Samsung i5500 to be the first Corby with Android (2.1)?
By Florin on 17 May 10Samsung’s Corby range is all about featurephones, and yet it looks like Samsung wants to launch a Corby smartphone, too – an Android 2.1 one.
PuntoCellulare has it that the Samsung GT-i5500 (recently approved by the Wi-Fi alliance) will be included in the Corby family, and thus it should be named Samsung Corby i5500.
Apart from Android 2.1 and Wi-Fi, the Samsung Corby i5500 reportedly features GPS, 3G, Bluetooth, touchscreen display (of unknown resolution), and a photo camera, probably of at least 3MP.
The i5500 was also approved by the FCC (sans 3G, though), and in lack of a proper photo of it, we give you the FCC’s sketch of what the handset’s case will look like:
The Samsung i5500 Corby should be announced “in the coming weeks” (maybe at the same time with the Samsung i5800 / i5800 aka Galax3?). It’s said that the smartphone will cost around €200.
