After reading reviews on this thread I too was excited to get Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700, but after checking the phone's performance on latest Android 2.1 OS bundled with new cell phone was very much disappointing.
"its keyboard very slow... some times phone is slow....camera response is slow.." rightly said.
I purchased Nokia 5800 xm yesterday and m very happy that i changed my decision at the right time and brought the right phone.
Those who still want to go for Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 please self check the phone for atleast 5-10 minutes. If you are ok with the slow performance of phone with Android 2.1 then go ahead, its ur choice.

New Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 are coming with Android 2.1. If anyone from Mumbai living around Malad, go to Inorbit Mall. Just near the Entrance all latest Samsung Cell phones are kept for display. Beautiful ladies
give us the demo of cell phone which you wish to buy/see. You can take the cell and self check all the options. I tested Galaxy spica which was brand new piece with OS Android 2.1 . Cell is coming with Android 2.1 these days.

Whoaa What's happening here
Are you using task killer apps?? My guess is that, a lot of apps might be running in background. Kill them and try.
If you are on 1.5 then keyboard is laggy in landscape mode. This is a bug which is ironed out in 2.1
I have been using 5800XM for a year now and I completely feel the opposite. Use Spica for a brief period of time and your views would change as well. No doubt about it.
I would say 5800, a good value for money phone, but Spica a great value for money phone, Considering you get much more and you can do much more with Spica at the same price, infact Spica is cheaper by a thousand.
There is not even a single official Asian eclair Firmware for Spica yet and you say they are selling them preloaded, that too Indian one
Sachit, I guess you live in mumbai na , may be you can confirm by visiting that mall if you happen to go to that place and enlighten us.
Hey guys try this app " Auto Memory Manager" and set it to aggressive mode and check out the difference for yourselves
BTW here's the link to that app *3.ly/TsKT

Hey just forget 5800 and go for Spica. I got both of them, that too Old 5800, not the one post price cut with some features removed. Still I would Suggest Spica anyday.
Which *.ops file did you use to downgrade and to which 1.6 build did you downgrade??
OMG!!

I'm damn sure that 2.1 is not out in Asia yet, let alone India and that too preloaded.
1.6?????

go for 5800 ...i borught one recently...even i wanted to go for spica...but specs!
5800 came with lifetime navigation on 3.03 update of ovi maps...@13.5k i got reebok wath free (supposedly worth 2k) and a headset worth 1.5k(may be old stock but its good)
wer as i asked shops for spica..no one knows...i had to go for reliance digital ...and its 16k there(7500...5700 not available)
so i say 5800 is value for money
spica for android fans

Although 2.1 is being pushed in Europe I had no idea it was already being pushed on the Samsung phones so far. Although I believe it was being promised to be released in Asia by End of April or beginning of May I think. However I did find this.

I think you might be using your 5800 on V40 firmware.
It took almost 3 firmware versions for 5800 to get to this level. you should have tried the earlier versions specially the old stock firmware v1.1 I guess.
There were far more bugs in 5800 than Spica on 1.5
2.1 has cleared out many issues and newer builds promise to be more stable on spica.

@Sachit
Just follow this guide for rooting JCE.
you have to flash that file over existing firmware, and don't mess up with *.ops file this time
Its better you delete the spica.ops file to avoid confusion. The correct one is Spica_jc3.ops, use the same for above method.
Nothings gonna happen to your future upgrades by rooting. So don't worry
Also I'm planning to try out those modded firmwares from samdroid forums, Unnecessary apps are removed from those and heard they are much faster after Pantheon is removed.
Checked out the iPod pics, blue one looks good
