It looks like those on Rogers will soon have another Android handset to pick from when making a purchase. And that handset is the Samsung Galaxy, or the Samsung Spica depending on who you may been talking with.
Either way though, the Samsung Galaxy Spica has recently been revealed in images sporting the Rogers brand on the back. Unfortunately the images that have been circulating are of a dummy in-store unit and not an actual handset. But still, its a Rogers branded Galaxy Spica.
Bottom line, according to the details that MobileSyrup is reporting, it looks like the Galaxy Spica will be available sometime “within 2-3 weeks.”
And just to offer a recap, the Samsung Galaxy Spica features a 3.2-inch (320 x 480) touchscreen display, an 800MHz processor, Wi-Fi, GPS, microSD card slot, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording, 3.5mm headphone jack, microUSB and speakerphone.
As far as the version of Android, most would expect 1.5, however according to Mobile Syrup it “might ship with OS 2.0.” We can hope, we can hope.

Any idea of whether or not the Galaxy will support 3G connectivity or will it just be EDGE?
galaxy is 3g
You know, that is kind of funny. I have had my Galaxy for 4 months, and yet have to see the 3G symbol. And yes, I do frequent areas where 3G is available. (My wife’s phone will show it, but mine won’t, even though it’s the same locations) And yes, I know, it is supposed to support 3G. Just haven’t seen it yet.
Going by Rogers’ track record of Android devices, I would stay away unless they say whether or not they will update this phone. If it is indeed at 1.5, it is such a waste, considering all of the enhancements 1.6 and 2.0, and even 2.1 offer.
