It looks like what we once knew as the Samsung Galaxy Spica will actually be released as the Samsung Galaxy Portal in the UK. T-Mobile UK will be the lucky ones to carry this middling Android device and per usual in the UK, it's available for FREE with certain rate plans. 

Pretty big day for Android, yeah? First, Sprint gives official word on the HTC Hero launching on October 11th. Then word comes out regarding a new Android device from Samsung.

Like Orange UK, the G1 Touch will be available starting mid-July for the low cost of FREE (new customer...

Eek. There are reports floating around that T-Mobile UK might be forced to merge with another carrier or sell itself away. During their latest financial reports, Deutsche Telekom CFO Timotheus Hoettges stated:

"The British market is highly competitive and has comparably low margins, in our view consolidation is a means to take excess capabilities out of the market. Nothing is unthinkable on our side."
