Looks like Samsung’s cheapest Android smartphone, the Galaxy 5 i5500, is already selling in stores ahead of official launch.
One of the local stores (CMK Cellphones) sent us this unboxed photo of the Galaxy 5 and tells us they’re selling them at Php11,400 a pop.

is this good buy sir? am still confused which mobile brand will i buy
just bought the galaxy 5 at memo express at MOA today. P7,990 with 2gb micro sd. Special offer for this day only.
i’m torn between two phones.
HTC Wildfire or Galaxy 5.
Which do you think is better? and why? Thanks!
san po pwedeng bumili ng galaxy 3 sa metro manila? i’m long been looking for this phone pero wla pa rin..
Wow! murang android.. ok to ah.. too bad i already bought Wildfire for my wife :(
let’s just hope this gets updated to froyo (android2.2) so there will be not much issue for the low RAM. Fyi, froyo will allow saving apps to sdcard without rooting your phone.
Somebody mentioned about LG GT540. I wouldn’t really recommend it due to its resistive touch screen. The qwerty keyboard with it is virtually useless.. kung anu ano napipindot, malayong malayo sa capacitive touchscreen ang performance. I had a chance to try it in an LG store.
Tpus yung xperia x10 mini, ang cute! Ok sana para sa wife ko,but what kept me from choosing it over Wildfire is Os. Android 1.6 pa ang xperia mini. For better compatibility baga..
@allan: you can install an app like quick settings (http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.bwx.bequick) that allows you to turn your apn on/off. i use this all the time since i mostly browse thru wifi. you can also use the built-in power control widget to quickly toggle auto-sync for gmail, twitter, or facebook. most apps can be configured to manually retrieve data as needed. control is really not an issue :)
thanks for the info guys.
another question i want to ask is i heard that andriods like to connect to the net automatically. is that true? if it is, is there an application to prevent this? specialy if you are on a budget. di ba malaki mababawas sa load mo.
ung application na you will be the one to control when you want to connect to the net.
i really want an andriod phone, that’s why i’m asking these questions.
thanks again.
mag LG OPTIMUS ka nalang. :))
@allan: if you mean downloading data, then the data downloaded from the browser are saved to your SD card. it will automatically create the download folder if it doesn’t exist. other apps usually save their data to your SD card. just don’t forget to clear your application cache regularly to remove accumulated files.
if you mean installing apps to the SD instead in the internal memory, then you’ll need to root your phone as @lolipown suggested.
Off-Topic: Legal po ba ang CMK store at orig po ba binebenta nila (except if nakalagay na na class A)? At maaasahan po ba sila sa online transaction?
