The Samsung i5700 Spica (aka Galaxy Lite) may still be some way off - early 2010, in fact, if the rumors are to be believed - but that hasn't stopped some pre-production units arriving into hands early. ai.rs have managed to acquire a device and, after masking what we're assuming is a carrier logo, have made a video preview.
