Okay folks..IT'S BEEN OVER ONE YEAR NOW since the original "SGH-i500" was announced. Just check the date of this PIC article. I realize there's often delays in fabrication, design etc, but this is absolutely ridiculous. If Samsung can't deliver these phones then they shouldn't even reveal them to the public b/c it will only engender scorn and ridicule. Three month delay?...no problem. Eight month delay?...okay I can live with that. But 13 month delay and counting!! Good grief Samsung!!!

P.S. Just to clarify, this forum for the SGH-i500/i505 is now obviously completely different than the original SGH-i500. This thread now refers to the i530 I beleive...*sigh* Gotta love Samsung naming convention... Anyway, mods please move this thread to the i530 forum if you so desire... tx
