Samsung unveils Android-equipped Galaxy Spica i5700

The long-rumored little brother to the Galaxy, the i5700, has finally been made official by Samsung -- and sure enough, it'll go by the trade name "Galaxy Spica." Sammy's latest Android-powered set clocks in at 13.2mm thick and comes equipped with a 3.5mm jack (which, frankly, every smartphone in the world should be including at this point), an 800MHz core (presumably the same as the Moment's), and an Android first: built-in DivX support. This one appears to be a no-frills Google Experience device considering the number of times that "Google" is mentioned in Samsung's press release, but for some Android connoisseurs, the purest, unskinned look and feel is preferred. Sammy says it's already out in Europe and the CIS and will be coming to the Middle East and Asia shortly.

It has been available here in Denmark for a while together with its "big bro", still practically everybody who wants an android phone buys HTC's Heros and Tattoos; and if some purist prefers the naked Android UI instead of the excellent SenseUI he can just turn it off.

I agree, AT&T has none of the new good stuff. no moto,s No droids of any kind. The new samsung mythic isnt half the phone of the the behold 2, yet they want more money for it? All they care about is the I-phone.

finally, Android has DIVX support! I really don't understand why anyone hasn't come out with a better media player for android. Thats the only reason why I haven't bought an android base phone (and also bcos I don't have enough dough).
