We've heard about the Samsung I5500 already and it's just been made official as a part of their Corby line-up. This sets itself apart from all of the other Corby's by running on the Android 2.1 OS with Samsung's own Touchwiz custom UI. Of course, it'll be an inexpensive handset and it'll feature a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 2MP camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, a 600MHz CPU, 100MB of ROM, and a microSD card slot (1GB card in the box). This is set to hit Italy next week for €199 ($238 USD).
