Samsung Gem Android device headed for regional CDMA carrier

January 25, 2011/Joe Pawlikowski

There certainly is a market for entry level Android smartphones. LG has one in the Optimus One, and that device is selling like mad — and it will soon be heading to Virgin Mobile.The above-pictured device is the Samsung Gem, and it will head to regional CDMA carriers sometime in the near future. The device features a 3.2 inch touchscreen, 800MHz processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, and microSD expansion up to 16GB. Unfortunately, it will come with Android 2.1. Given how we’ve seen Android updates progress, I doubt this one ever gets 2.2 or higher. We’re not sure when, where, or for how much this device will launch, but it should be soon, regional carriers, and cheap. Via Phone Scoop.]]>

    I agree with Brent Devenney, I have the same experiments with It. There is nothing wrong with the phone, sell 3 of them in the week and never have complains about it.
