Hey, Just got this phone about 4 days ago. Im just wondering is there going to be an update for the fone to make it an Android 2.0 or Android 2.1? The Voice Navigation would make this phone perfect but it needs higher than an Android 1.5. Cheers.

@harsh: i’d be surprised if the spica ever gets 2.2. however, it sure would be great to be able to install apps to SD since the internal memory is so tiny.
that said, i’m not holding my breath.
