Mobilicity is Releasing the Samsung Galaxy Mini
Samsung has been pumping out phones like crazy, and now Mobility is getting some of that Samsung Galaxy love.
At the Samsung concert in Toronto, there’s an unreleased device for Mobilicity. The Samsung Galaxy Mini has a 3.14-inch touchscreen, runs Android 2.2, has Wi-Fi and a 3-megapixel camera. No word on price or release date.

Mobilicity is not renowned for offering the most sophisticated mobile devices, but it does provide competitive pricing. For those seeking a more economical option and with limited travel requirements, Mobilicity offers a range of competitive plans.
Although the Samsung Galaxy Mini does not possess the most impressive technical specifications when compared to other devices offered by Mobilicity, such as the Samsung Nexus S, it is capable of providing up to nine hours of continuous talk time, as evidenced by numerous reviews on Google.
It would be prudent for Samsung to offer the Galaxy Mini at a competitive price point if they wish to ensure its popularity with this particular network. As can be observed, Mobilicity has reduced the price of a number of mobile phones. The most notable reduction is that of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Based on specifications, the Sony Xperia X10 is priced at only $399, which is significantly lower than that of the Galaxy Mini. Should the Samsung Galaxy Mini wish to be regarded as the leading device on this network, it will have to contend with significant competition from other networks.
The pertinent question, therefore, is whether the Samsung Galaxy Mini can compete with the existing Nexus S and Sony Xperia X10 models on the market.
Would you be inclined to purchase this device in preference to the others? If so, what price would you consider an ideal equilibrium?
