Mobile Phone 3

The Samsung Galaxy Spica – i5700 – is sold in the United States by T-Mobile, and is it also goes by the names Samsung Galaxy Lite or Samsung Galaxy Portal. If you were considering getting a new mobile, then it could be this one, however, you need to know a little bit about it before deciding to purchase it or not.

This smartphone is a dual band one, but it is not compatible with the CDMA network, and it will never be, no matter what you do to it. What you can do is to use the 3G communication abilities, but not for the video calling: the secondary camera is not installed. The main one is a 3.15MP one, with geo-tagging and auto focus functions.  

The screen of this device is smaller than on other Samsung Galaxy S devices, only 3.2 inches. Since the spec sheet says nothing about the keyboard, you can safely assume it is not a QWERTY one.

You have to know that this smartphone's operating system is the Android 1.5 version, but it can be updated to the version 2.1 at the very least. The OS runs with the help of an 800 MHz processor. You can store up to 32 GB of important data, but only on the microSD with this storage ability, because the internal memory is of only 180 MB.

The Samsung Galaxy Spica has many buttons for various sites integration: Youtube, Gmail and other Google products and services, so if you use them a lot, you will find them very useful. But this doesn't mean you can't add other apps that also interest you.

Now, probably what will convince you to buy it or not, are the user comments, so check them out on this page: after all many of them already used it and can tell what issues there are or not.

When you buy a new Samsung Galaxy Tab, you most likely want to be able to use the internet and the mail features. But what do you do when you have more email addresses and you want to access them all from tab, without signing in and out of them? Usually you need to set up more email accounts on the tab itself and now it’s high time for you to find out how to do it.

Probably the easiest method, or one of the easiest ones, would be installing more email applications on your Samsung Galaxy Tab and then set up each of the email accounts to one email application. In this way you will not be troubled with realizing which email comes from which email account.

How To Set Up Multiple Email Accounts On Samsung Galaxy Tab

Most of the time, setting up a -new- email account on your Samsung Galaxy Tab requires changing some POP3 and IMAP settings in the tab, which will allow retrieving the mail, contacts and so on, from the online email account. There are several on-line guides on how you can do this safely (of course if you don’t already know how).

One such guide can be found here, or here. There are also some alternatives available for you in case you feel stuck with too many accounts. In this thread we find out hat there is a program which can limit or restrict some emails from downloading, especially when the data in them is too big.

And according to the Samsung website, Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with two in-build mail clients, Gmail for the Google email accounts and the Email for the rest of them. Maybe you didn’t know, but some email providers – such as Yahoo, Aol, Aim, Hotmail- have an Auto configuration function, which makes thing much more easy for users.

The Android Market is an application similar to the Apple’s iTunes Store. It is developed by the Google team for the Android operating system, and for the devices using it. It usually comes preinstalled on the devices using the Android operating system. For even more information about it, go here.

To access the Android Market from any other device other than an Android operating system, you need to go to this web address in your favorite Internet browser. Of course this market has payed for applications as well as free applications. For the top free application, fell free to surf to here.

The kind of applications you can find there are very diverse: all sorts of games, books, live wallpapers (they are very popular), all kinds of media, videos, music as well as various tools to help you out daily: weather, medical, finance and so on. Getting them is pretty easy: pointing at the one you like and then the “install” button underneath it. For an “in depth” guide to the Android Market, there is a Galaxy S user guide, written by the Samsung developers.

What the above guide forgets to mention is the fact that one has to have an email account on Google (Gmail), and only there, any other email will not work. The people over here confirm this “tip”. For those who encounter other types of issues while interacting with the Android Market, this page might be able to help them out. It deals with problems related to installation, using the market, buying from there. There is also a link to problems not listed at the bottom and a troubleshooting page.

Hopefully now you are more prepared to and informed about -how- to use this wonderfull tool which allows you to personalize your Samsung Galaxy device to your heart’s desire.

You most likely want to know why would you do this in the first place. You would do it so that you make it easier to send emails from your Samsung Galaxy S or Tab. Since they come with Internet connection you can navigate the Internet, send emails and more. And the Samsung Galaxy’s OS has a build-in mail client, why not taking advantages of it?

The build-in mail client, just like the Microsoft Outlook enables you to compose new mails (or replies to existing mails), even without the Internet access, and when you get coverage you just press the “send” button. If the Samsung Galaxy is synced with the Outlook, then you have the destination already in the mail. Also the mail client will let you know on the spot if there is any incoming mail, which at times you have to read on the spot (therefore, you don’t wait to get to your office to read it).

While searching for ways to sync the device with the Outlook (or even to find out if it’s possible to do so), these are some of the results that came up:

* 2 guides to do it: here and here. These guides have pictures at various steps and step by step instructions which are very easy to follow, even by a beginner.

* this page informs us of 4ways of syncing: by USB, secured hosted wireless (at a price), by WiFi, or via Goggle.

* from the android forums, a user recommends various software to sync the Outlook’s calendar and contacts and those of the gmail, both ways, on an Android OS. There is also a lot of input on the matter from other posters.

* this thread mentions a little problem during the sync itself, which can be avoided if the Outlook application is closed before the syncing.
