Samsung i7500 vs. HTC Dream (G1)

It's a close competition but most notably the differences are in physical form. The i7500 lacks a qwerty keyboard but has a 5mp camera. It's also presumably lighter and 6mm thinner thanks to the lack of a physical keyboard. Currently both phones will only work with T-mobile and at&t(US). My biggest hope is the Samsung will come with a stronger processor to better handle the versatile Android platform. I've underlined the major differences below.

Release date for most European countries is set for June 2009. Nothing on the US yet.
