The newly announced Galaxy S Advance is heading to the UK, with phone retailer MobileFun and Clove already taking pre-orders for the unlocked device. Those of you who want the mid-to-high end smartphone will have to pour out some 350 GBP (around $550) to be amongst the first ones to get it. We’re hearing the first units will be shipped at some point later this month, with Clove listing February 27th as the first shipping date.

If you, however, want to get the Galaxy S Advance along with a carrier contract, you’ll be able to choose between 3 options – Three, T-Mobile and O2. Unfortunately, they failed to mention the exact launch date, though we guess it’s safe to bet that will happen in early March (or at the end of February).

As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy S Advance comes with a dual-core 1GHz processor, 4-inch curved WVGA Super AMOLED screen, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and 8GB of internal memory.

    Think a keen eye has to be kept on the price, the s2 retails for £380 sim free, and is available on £20 contracts, but if this gets a lower price, it’s tempting

    All a good sign of commoditising technology though :)
