When the Samsung Spica came out a few weeks back, I was surprised with the retail price of the handset. We looked deeper into the Samsung i5700 before handing out the verdict. At first glance, the Spica looked like most other candybar phones released by Samsung with that distinctive design. Samsung did not bother to include a layer UI on top of it. The Spica is powered by Samsung's very own 800MHz processor and as such, apps and others functions (like media playback, browsing) are pretty snappy. Connectivity isn't an issue with the Samsung Spica -- it's got Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g, 3G/HSDPA and GPS. All in all, the Samsung Spica i5700 is a one desirable smartphone, especially to those who will be getting their first ever Android handset. Samsung should get some good karma for introducing this handset into the local market.
