Also known as the
Galaxy Portal in the UK, Samsung's
i5700 is today officially entering the Eclair portion of its Android existence. We got a nice
leak of the 2.1 ROM in February, whose small glitches will no doubt have been ironed out in this official release. You'll need to either hook up to the Samsung neural network using their proprietary PC Studio 7 software to leech the upgrade or just buy a new handset -- it all depends on the ratio between your disposable time and income. Guess this will make the Spica that little bit more seductive to Rogers customers, who only just got the option to own the handset
last week. Full PR after the break.
