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. Like the Hero, the Spica also suffers a bit with the virtual keyboard that's somewhat cramped. 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. The Spica actually ranks #2 among the fastest Android smartphones locally available, next to the X10, if we based it clock-for-clock. The Spica has Android 1.5 (Cupcake) pre-installed but, as of this time, you can actually have it upgraded to Android 2.1 (Eclair).
