Samsung Mobile Ireland announced that its Galaxy Spica handset (i5700) will be available exclusively on the O2 network from mid November 2009. Pricing and exact availability details will be confirmed by O2 in the coming weeks.
The Samsung Galaxy Spica is Samsung Ireland's first device powered by Android, giving customers instant access to familiar applications, as well as access to a range of ever-expanding services being developed for the Android operating system.
"The Samsung Galaxy Spica is one of the most innovative and high-quality Android-powered devices on the market. We've built in all the features people have come to expect from high-end Samsung devices, like the fast processing power, to provide a great user experience," said Gary Twohig, Country Manager, Samsung Mobile Ireland."We're fortunate to have the technical ability at Samsung to support a variety of operating systems and demonstrate real leadership in developing the technologies that customers want and understand.'
Also commenting, Aideen Chambers, Head of Devices, Telefonica O2 Ireland, said, "Our strategy continues to be to bring our customers the very best innovations in mobile communications, and launching our first Android-powered phone with Samsung is a key part of this. The Samsung Galaxy Spica offers a great user experience alongside a fantastic range of apps".
Whatever your lifestyle, there will be an Android application for you and with its expandable memory, you can personalise your Samsung Galaxy Spica with as many apps as you desire. Go directly to the Android market via a widget on your Samsung Galaxy Spica and download for free, a variety of unique apps (you will need to have a Google account in order to access the market).
Layar - Essentially you're using your Galaxy Spica like a camera so you can see the real world as you pan around. The application utilizes your GPS location and G-Sensor to determine exactly what your device is pointing towards and provides you with more information about it directly on your phone.
Light Saber - a fun application that means you can take on your friend with a light saber.
Guitar Chordz - is an application for guitar learners. This application displays more than 200 chords with different shapes and modes. It allows you to "strum" across the strings and hear the sound of the chord!
The familiar Google experience everyone knows and loves on their PC is ready and waiting on the Samsung Galaxy Spica including: Google Search™, Gmail™, Google Talk™ and Google Maps™. It also has an integrated GPS receiver meaning you can make full use of Google Maps to guide you in the car or on foot.
As well as the world of applications, the internet really comes to life through the Samsung Galaxy Spica's 3.2inch screen; watch great quality videos from You Tube, watch Sky Sports live or download the latest chart hits using the O2 Mobile Internet application, surf the web with the super-fast Chrome-Lite browser or view pictures you've taken with its 3.2 mega-pixel camera.
A device as powerful as this needs a long battery life and memory capacity so it can be enjoyed fully and the Samsung Galaxy Spica doesn't disappoint. Capable of storing up to 250MB internal memory and external up to 32GB this smartphone packs a lot into its slim, compact design (115 x 57 x 13.2mm).
