Where it fit at Mobilicity
Mobilicity was not known for the most advanced phones, but it offered competitive pricing and suited people who wanted an economical plan. The Galaxy Mini was not the most powerful phone on the network, and the Samsung Nexus S was one that outclassed it. Reviews said it could reach up to nine hours of talk time.
The pricing question
Mobilicity had been cutting prices on several phones. The biggest cut was on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, listed at $399, well below what the Galaxy Mini was expected to cost. The writer argued Samsung needed a competitive price for the Mini to stand out against the Nexus S and the Xperia X10.
