Orange gets Samsung Galaxy Apollo

Orange will offer the device get to choose three exclusive coloured cases from a range of 8, and are redeemable after purchase. The device is available on Pay as You Go and Pay Monthly contracts, complete with an Orange Wednesday app installed.

The Samsung Galaxy is the latest Android-powered device, complete with an Android 2.1 OS. It has a 3.2 WVGA TFT LCD display, and a 3 megapixel camera with auto focus face detection. It also has DivX support for video.

Samsung touted it ‘social hub’, an integrated phonebook linking contacts across social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter across one platform.

Simon Stanford, Head of Mobile at Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said; “The Samsung Galaxy Apollo extends our portfolio of Android-powered devices and underlines Samsung’s commitment to offering a smartphone for every lifestyle.”

“Consumers are really responding to the Android platform which offers an extensive range of innovative apps to download, as well as the ability to multi-task with apps running in parallel.”

“The Samsung Galaxy Apollo offers a compelling mix of social networking and rich media experiences which will appeal to consumers who want a smartphone device at an affordable price.”
