G'day,
After bringing my i7500 into the world, a fresh and raw faced little 1.5 Cupcake build on board and seeing it grow up through stock 1.6 then Galaxo 1.6 and finally into a real phone via GAOSP BETA 3.... it is time to say goodbye to my i7500
Now that I've lived with a smartphone for so long I want more. MORE!
They Huawei X5 / IDEOS U8800 was released at the right time and for the right price (AUD$299.00 incl GST) so I grabbed one and made it my new phone.
Pros: Bigger screen, higher resolution, faster processor, more RAM
Cons: No physical buttons, camera licks balls
You'll be please to know my i7500 is still being put to good use though. Its the receiver for a website I made -> Rejection Line -> 0406650430 Not much good to you outside of Australia, but it may interest people anyway to know that an i7500 powered by GAOSP BETA 3 and running an app called SMSSync (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.addhen.smssync) is what handles all the incoming voice/SMS/MMS for that site. It works incredibly well, and has handled a rather large number of calls and texts without fault.
Anyway. Thanks to Drakaz and company for keeping the i7500 dream alive. If it wasnt for your efforts the i7500 would have languished on 1.5 forever (here, at least). Hopefully you move on to an X5 too so I can reap the benefits of your hard work there too
