We’ve seen the Samsung Galaxy Lite i5700 before but not this up close. Just recently a few press photos of the new Samsung Galaxy Lite i5700 appeared out of nowhere and we like what we see here. Samsung Galaxy Lite i5700 has not been announced by the company but it is expected to be made official as early as this month. There are also some rumors saying that it may actually be called Spica.
Either way the specs on this new Android phone really hasn’t changed.

To whoever it may concern.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Spica I5700 with Google Android 1.5 OS Carrefour in Dubai, UAE on 18th march 2010. Doesn’t have Android Market even though Manual says that. Calling Samsung support and they are not equipped to support it. Eventhought they suggested to use slideme.org as an alternative almost all apps crashes from the website always and are useless ones. Never ever will I buy Samsung or Google phones. PC doesn’t recognize USB after installing some apps, I have to reset the phone for USB to be detected by PC. I am not using the phone now, gone back to my Nokia 5310 which is far better. Several calls were made and Samsung were saying that the Android Market was not there due to market restrictions. And today they said it was Google who was barring Samsung from providing Android Market being installed on any Andorid based phones sold in UAE. It is like Apple banning Itunes for Iphone users. It is clearly cheating customers like me who are first time smartphone users and ardent Google fans.
1. There are only basic apps in this phone as a basic Nokia phone (not smartphone) which costs AED150 has.
2. Android market was not there in the phone whereas the manual says install apps from market
3. USB mass storage is not found and has to follow certain steps to get it recognized by system. Whereas on other phone it gets recognized easily.
4. Almost all of the Apps that I found from internet and installed kept on crashing always including the Google applications.
5. USB will not be recognized after installing 5 to 10 apps, the phone keeps on saying charging (if charge is less)/king sound. I have to reset to factory setting to get the USB working.
6. Samsung was unresponsive even after several attempts to get help from them.
7. Most of the apps were not installable as the OS was 1.5.
8. Sent several faxes to Google fax and you are like dead meat.
I think the basic Iphone is far better than Iphone in all sense even though there is no flash support and not be closed source. This was my first ever smartphone. I will never ever buy an Android phone so also any phone from Samsung. I was an ardent Google fan because of their Google search, apps, pack etc. But here I felt cheated by Google and Samsung. Google is making a fool of customers by saying OS is open source and amking the app suite is closed. I feel if you charge some fee for the apps, I am ready to pay. I have repacked the phone and is happily using my Nokia 5310 which was thinking of replacing with I5700. I have submitted be sending this “Great Phone” to Samsung at my cost for them to keep in their showcase as a symbol of best customer service. Hope this will suffice curiosity. If you want I will send AED1000 for your day to day activities as a donation for cheating users/customers like this.

Anil, if you want to mount the SD card via USB cable, slide your thumb from top to bottom of the screen to see the console, then tap on USB connection and it asks you to “mount” or “cancel”. I have the same phone, now upgraded to Android 2.1 and have non of your issues. Works like a charm.
