Best Buy guide shows off Samsung Gem

We first http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-gem-shows-its-face-verizon-brandingwww.androidcentral.com/samsung-gem-shows-its-face-verizon-branding, and it has now shown up in the Best Buy buyer’s guide. 

The Gem is going to be another offering from Samsung on Verizon, but aimed at the low-end spectrum. Most likely the crowd that is transitioning from feature phones to smart-phones but doesn’t want to spring for expensive devices just yet. 

Here are the specs for the Gem:

• Android 2.1 (Eclair)
• TouchWiz 3.0
• Swype
• 3.2 MP camera
• 16 GB Micro-SD expansion

The Gem is being overshadowed by Samsung and Verizon’s big release of the Fascinate on Sept. 9. They are aimed at different crowds though, and it just means that Android will continue to grow, which is a good thing. [Engadget]
