Samsung Galaxy Alpha Now Available On Bell And Virgin
Good news for those of you looking for a slightly more compact high end Android device as the Galaxy Alpha is now available to us here in Canada. Both Bell and Virgin have added the device to their line up today and it is definitely on the pricey side. If you’re looking to pick it up outright you’ll need to shell out $700. Picking it up on contract brings the price down to a slightly more palatable $150.
Now if you’re not on Bell or Virgin I have heard from some Samsung reps that the device will hit additional carriers in the coming months. They didn’t give me any specifics but I think by November the phone will be a little bit more wide spread.
So any of you thinking of picking it up?
