Samsung Galaxy S Advance up for pre order in the UK The Galaxy S Advance was announced a few days ago, and it looks like the phone might be going on sale soon. It’s been reported that UK retailers, Clove and Mobilefun have started taking pre-orders for the Android phone. It is said to ship in late February, though there’s no mention of an exact release date. The Samsung Galaxy S Advance is priced at £354 ($559) in the UK though it will probably be subsidized by carriers if it makes its way to the US.

The Galaxy S Advance features a dual-core 1GHz processor, a 4″ Super AMOLED (800 x 480) display, 768MB of RAM, Android 2.3, a 5-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front facing camera. The phone was recently spotted in the Philippines and is said to be revealed at the MWC 2012.

Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
