In continuing our previous post about the leaked T-Mobile release schedule, which shows 3 new android phones being released in the second half of this year, it has been rumored that the Samsung “Houdini” will be the i7500. For fun, let’s assume it’s true and take a look at the i7500.

Also shown in the release schedule was the G1 version 2 “Bigfoot”. While people are claiming hoax on account of the name, it doesn’t seem unlikely that a version 2 G1 is scheduled for release in a few months. The picture shows us a new pull-out keyboard and rounded edges for the version 2, but there is little indication what new capabilities the new phone will have or what it will be called on release.
