First of all, we are wondering why Samsung pick the word “Gio” as it GT S5660 name (trademark?). Let make a little research. We type “Gio” in Google and the result is refer to the Australian Insurance Company (What a turn over!). And the conclusion is: We couldn’t find the real “meaning” of the “Gio”. It seems that the Gio is just sound “good” and sexy “name”.
Let forget about it. Back to business. Samsung Galaxy Gio design is a little bit “girly” with four rounded Corner. As a family of Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy Gio that has a series name as GT-S5660, currently runs under Android Operating System by Google. There is no Physical Qwerty Keyboard. This means that the Gio only equipped with Virtual On Screen Qwerty Keyboard as a tool of Inputting Text Message such as for SMS or create Email or even editing the Microsoft Power Point Document.
