The good: Vibrant screen; plenty of onboard memory; good camera, with LED photo light; 3.5mm headphone jack; support for wonderful Android apps; responsive user interface.

The bad: Dull appearance; no multitouch; sub-par keyboard design; bog-standard version of Android means no innovations.

The bottom line: Samsung has brought some crave-worthy hardware features to its first Android handset, the Galaxy I7500, like a gorgeous screen, good camera and plenty of onboard memory. But it runs on the bog-standard version of Android, which means it lacks multitouch and fun custom widgets like we've seen on other phones. It also looks slightly dull. Overall, the Galaxy fails to reach the heady heights of the HTC Hero, but it's a strong competitor to the HTC Magic.
