this is just a cheap android phone, if you keep on complaining alot about this phone, and if you have more money, then go ahead and buy an iphone or galaxy s2

the problem is, that spica born with Android OS v1.5, one of the first android devices made by samsung. the support cut too early, leaving spica with android 2.1 which is not so good nowadays. furthermore android basis is open-source software, suitable for modding.
if you want good working phone straight out of box, buy nokia, or latest android device such as galaxy s2, htc sencation.
otherwise do not forget http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
the current status of spica non-official development is stable 2.2 froyo working on spica. new 3d drivers are in developement, will make gingerbread 2.3 possible. many thanks to tom3q. more info is here

No matter how "little use of brains" are needed, the fact remains that you need to go out of your way to make the Spica perform to acceptable standards. No! A phone should run well straight out of the box! Nobody buys a brand new car that MIGHT run well after you fix it up. The Spica is a POS period.

At first glance the specs seem impressive, 800Mhz processor, 320 x 480 pixels capacitive screen w/ 16M colors, etc. Sounds like a real winner right? WRONG! Agonizingly slow, frequently lags and hangs, "capacitive" screen w/c does NOT pinch zoom is a joke, worse than useless 800Mhz processor. The Spica is a hodge podge of seemingly "good" specifications all jumbled up in a device that doesn't know what to do with them.
Recently sold my Spica and bought an entry-level LG P-350. The difference in performance between the two was amazing. This 600Mhz upstart is simply lightyears away in performance compared to the heaving pile of cr*p that is the Spica.
I've rooted my Spica and installed Froyo. That made things slightly bearable, but in the end I decided that I've had enough and sold it. My Android experience was completely tainted by the Spica. Not so w/ my el cheapo P-350. It was everything I hoped for in the Spica but sadly wasn't.

One thing I can't seem to fix is it's camera, well as warned by samdroid.net, not available yet but soon, so I'm using my phone just for cool internet now and soon, hopefully will get update from samdroid (cyanogen) for camera. IF you're gonna find out, tell me

Anonymous, 20 Jun 2011can i really upgrade my galaxy spica i5700 to 2.2?
or what... moreim not good at explaining stuff, but applying cyanogenmood is like "jailbreaking" your spica.. there are advantages and disadvantages of rooting and applying cyanogenmod.. one bug that i found after rooting my phone is compass isn't working properly, but who needs compass anyway
i think it would be better if you go to samdroid.net, or google up on how to root galaxy spica, how to upgrade to froyo, etc.. im not an expert in spica, but i learned stuffs about spica by researching on google

people expect too much from this phone, well what do you expect from a cheap android phone, if you want a phone with better specs, then go buy an iphone 4 or a samsung galaxy S2
but for now, im happy with my spica after applying cyanogenmod + yonip kernel =) if you know how to tweak this phone, you'll love it..
