The specifications seem pretty impressive, it features a four-inch Super AMOLED WVGA display with a resolution of 800 x 480, and has a five-megapixel camera, and 1GHz processor.
Advanced Features and Connectivity
The Samsung Galaxy i9000 features Samsung’s custom ‘social hub’ user interface which has a range of social networking features built in. This makes it easier for users to stay connected with friends and family through various social media platforms. On top of that, the i9000 also features A-GPS for accurate location tracking, Bluetooth 3.0 for faster data transfer, USB 2.0 for easy connectivity to other devices, integrated 802.11 b/g/n WiFi for high-speed internet access, and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

The Samsung Galaxy i9000 will feature a range of pre-loaded applications which include Swype, Layar, ThinkFree Office viewer, and DLNA.
