Update: Rogers Galaxy Spica to be priced at $79.99 on 3-year

By Ian Hardy on March 3, 2010 in Asides, Mobile News, Rogers Wireless News

A couple days ago we let you know that Rogers was gearing up to release a new Android in their lineup, the Samsung Galaxy Spica. The Galaxy Spica comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display that has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 megapixel camera with video, 800MHz processor, 3.5mm headset jack, speakerphone, WiFi, A-GPS, holds up to 32GB with a microSD, 1500 mAh lithium-ion battery, measures 115.0 x 57.0 x 12.9 mm with a weight of 122 grams. Also we are waiting for confirmation about which Android OS Rogers will be shipping this with.

That specs sound all good. We are still waiting on an official launch date but we’ve been tipped that it’s now showing up in the inventory system that the price of this Android-powered smartphone is going to be $79.99 on 3-year contract and $449.99 outright. Definitely a great starting price.

Update: we’ve received these images below that show the upcoming prices:

We’ll have more updates soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

  5. @Rene Hawkes
    This phone is the i5700 (Spica).
    The phone from Bell is the i7500 (Galaxy).

    The i5700 is faster and release in November 2009.

  6. According to this link: http://androidandme.com/2010/02/news/samsung-galaxy-spica-gain-android-2-1-via-leaked-firmware/

    This phone is rootable and will most likely get an update to 2.1 in the future.

    I think the 800mhz processor, 3.5 mm audio jack and divx/xvid support make this an awesome phone that will be underappreciated like most android phones.
