There have been rumours that the Samsung i7500 Galaxy smartphone currently running Android 1.5 would eventually see an upgrade to Android 2.0 or even Android 2.1, but alas apparently according to an article over on the::unwired, this is not to be.

The word is, although presently unofficial and unconfirmed that during Mobile World Congress 2010 is the Samsung i7500 Galaxy will not be gaining the Android update. Having said that there was no mention of the Samsung i7500 Galaxy not getting updated to Android 1.6 at least.

The stipulate that this information is unconfirmed and unofficial as all they got is the word, so probably best to treat this info on the state of play concerning Android and the Samsung i7500 Galaxy as pure rumour for the time being.

Lastly they note that Samsung has not publicly shown any new Windows Mobile or Android handset during MWC 2010, and no one with Samsung is offering any comment of their Android plans, although Microsoft has confirmed Samsung will launch a Windows Phone 7 smartphone sometime in the future.
