This sure beats the butt ugly G1 and the HTC Magic for looks.
Looks aside, Samsung seems to be positioning itself well in the smartphone market. This i7500 and the i8910 (Omnia HD) are at the top of my list at the moment.
Anyone care to debate the pluses and minuses between Android and Symbian, or specifically between the above two mentioned phones?
The specs are really nice. The only question will be the price tag. Remember that except the 5MP camera, Nokia's 5800 comes at the same specs group, and it's around 300euros. Samsung allready has touch screen phones in forms of INNOV8 and Omnia. If they manage to squeeze this phone in 300-400 euros price range, it will be sweet. If it's above 400 euros, I don't believe it will make any serious market success.
It's kinda sad that the first thing that popped into my head when I read about all the features/functiions it has was - "Yeah, all that and a battery life of about ten minutes if you actually try to USE all these bells and whistles."
OLED Screen? I guess I'm not aware of any other phone that has an OLED screen? Although, I haven't really been following all that closely either, so I'm sure I'll be flamed on how dozens of others pack OLED screens as well.
Can it run Tomtom, Outlook, Excel?
Google maps, does this come on a single file yet, or is it constant data download needing a data package?
I want an "on a card" solution like Tomtom. Do Google phones do this?

"MP3, (e)AAC/+, WMA and RA audio"
Rats! No OGG/Vorbis? :'( Oh well, hopefully third-party app/later version will fix that.

@Andy4504
My phone has an oled screen:

It was a curiosity back when I got it a year or so ago, but the 3.2" oled screens are fairly widely adopted in the latest Japanese models.
@Chronicle Lots of capacitance, it's HVGA silly. Don't be giving us no resistance you silly electron.
I sincerely hope this puppy comes with a capacitive screen!
