Samsung Galaxy Portal is T-Mobile Name for Samsung Galaxy Spica
The new Samsung i5700 just keeps clocking up even more new model names, referred to mostly as the Samsung Galaxy Spica this latest Android phone has now been released on T-Mobile and renamed the Samsung Galaxy Portal.
This new touch screen device can also be found by searching for Samsung Galaxy Lite which simply further compounds the already confusing mobile phone market for consumers. Although the Galaxy Portal is exactly the same phone as the Spica it seems T-Mobile intended to set itself apart from other networks and retailers with their late name change.
This is not uncommon, the network re-brands many of it’s network own handsets, examples of this include the HTC Hero being named the T-Mobile G2 Touch and the HTC Diamond 2 being marketed as the T-Mobile Compact V. The Samsung Galaxy Portal has been released on exactly the same day as the new LG InTouch Max GW620, another affordable Android phone, both of these new handsets have been ‘price matched’ on their release to be free of charge on the T-Mobile Combi 20 tariff at just £20 per month.
The i5700 Galaxy Portal may not offer the slide out Qwerty keyboard or the 5.0 mega pixel camera of the LG GW620 but it does feature a fast 800MHz processor for zipping through the menus and applications. Incorporating a 3.0 mega pixel camera the Samsung Galaxy Portal also offers 3G+ connectivity and a large 3.3 inch touch screen display which is ideal for web browsing and watching media.
Other features include WiFi, HSDPA, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm audio jack for using any standard headphones and GPS which can be used with Google Maps for navigation. The Samsung i5700 Galaxy Portal was initially launched as a SIM free mobile phone back on January 12th, this is the first time that consumers have been able to take advantage of the price drop associated with a network subsidy from T-Mobile.
There are further network launches planne for this new Android handset but these will be under the better known name of the Samsung Galaxy Spica.
The range of Android phones is continuing to expand with other recent releases being the Motorola Milestone, Acer Liquid, the previously mentioned LG In Touch GW620 and the new Sony Ericsson X10 and Google Nexus One.
Accompanying these new handsets is more and more applications being ofefred through the Android Market, this is no where near on a par with the iPhone App Store but is fast gaining pace with a sudden jump of over 5000 applications in the month of December alone.

Many thanks for writing such an fascinating post. Normally I see the same thing, and it starts to get on my nerves. Many thanks once again, come back soon.
Great post, insightful and well written. Thankyou.
Good coverage of this space. I’m a proud geek who can’t get enough.
This is my first time to visit your blog and I would say you share nice information. You definitely do research and write very well. Keep it up!
many awesome home business opportunities exist today , the best thing to do is find one that you are passionate about and get fired up about your dreams and go after them
Seu artigo me ajudou bastante, muito obrigado.
help me!!!!!!!! My digital camera lens into the dust, but I can not wipe their dust removal. I live in a very remote village, how can I do?
I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong.
Sawadee Kha! I’m about to go to Koh Samui and I’m sooo excited about my holiday. Already got my flight to Bangkok and from there I’ll go explore around Samui, I saw your nice blog on Msn and it seems that you know a lot about Samui Island. Would you please give me a hint where to stay in Lamai? I’ve read there are some good resorts near Big Buddha… Thank you in advance!
You prepared a number fine points there. I did a good solid research for this particular issue and found out generally people will definitely agree with your website. Thanks.

I found your site via yahoo thanks for the post. I will save it for future reference. Thanks
Very interesting blog post thanks for writing it I have added your blog to my bookmarks and will be back.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Lately I’ve been gaining a bit of weight. What would you suggest?
If you were studying for a state exam on this, where would you study?
