Bell’s smartphone line-up received a huge shot in the arm today, as the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G went on sale. A true beast of “superphone”, the Galaxy S II’s specs include a 4.3″ qHD Super AMOLED Plus display, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture, 1.2GHz dual-core Exynos processor and 1GB of RAM. We’vereceived several tips that line-ups have formed at several Bell dealerships across the country, so if you’re planning on getting the best Android smartphone to date on launch day, you might want to let your boss know you’ll be running a few minutes behind.

Samsung Galaxy S II gets official for Canada on Bell, Virgin Mobile and SaskTel

Posted By Ray Nicolini

We've already had some indication of where and when the Galaxy S II would land in Canada, and three carriers have now finally made things fully official (even if they haven't yet got completely specific). That includes Bell and Virgin Mobile -- neither of which are confirming a price at the moment -- plus regional carrier SaskTel, which plans to offer the phone for $79.99 on a three-year contract. SaskTel and Virgin Mobile both also say that the phone will be available in the coming weeks, while Bell isn't offering much more than a chance to win the phone in a contest that ends July 19th -- we've previously heard that the phone will be hitting Bell on July 14th. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's looking like the phone will also alternatively be known as the "Galaxy S II" or "Galaxy S II 4G" depending on the carrier.
