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

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.

Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile goes up for pre-order at Best Buy for $300

Fans of Virgin Mobile’s prepaid plans were mighty jazzed over the Motorola Triumph , a 4.1-inch, vanilla Froyo-packing handset that might seem ho-hum on paper, but is a marked improvement over what you’d normally be able to score without the shackles of a two-year service agreement. At the time, more than a few of our readers swore that once they dutifully fulfilled their contractual obligations, a Motorola handset sans Motoblur would be enough to send them packing to Virgin. Well, it’s time to put your money where your mouth is: she’s up for pre-order at Best Buy for $299.99. In the world of unlocked phones, of course, that’s a steal. Why, the Droid Charge costs the same with a two-year contract, and the (admittedly higher-end) Dell Venue fetches $500 unlocked, with the iPhone 4 topping it at $649 . Order now and you’re in for several weeks of thumb-twiddling — Best Buy estimates it’ll arrive sometime between July 19th and July 26th. As always, commitment-phobes, hit the source link to order and peep the spec list while you’re at it.

Motorola Triumph release date leaked by ‘People’ magazine, coming to Virgin on July 19th

You’ve seen many views of the Motorola Triumph in our recent hands-on segment , but perhaps no angle is so tempting as the release date itself. Fortunately, that tidbit arrives courtesy People’s current issue, where Virgin Mobile’s July 19th release date is outed on page 77 — in the StyleWatch Concierge section, if you just have to know . Given the “379 hot summer looks” to fawn over, it’s easy to overlook this Blur-less handset , but the proof awaits at your local news stand. Sadly, we’re still waiting on pricing for this newcomer, but perhaps it’ll show in the next edition of The Economist , no?

Virgin Mobile lets Android run Blur-free on the Motorola Triumph

Motorola hopes to rescue its tarnished MOTOBLUR UI with a name-change . We, however, think the rust runs deeper than that — and it seems we’re not alone. Virgin Mobile has decided to give its prepaid customers the “true Android experience” from now on, which means you’ll find no proprietary shell whatsoever sitting atop its new Motorola Triumph handset. Aside from a few bits of Virgin bloatware, the Triumph escapes with a relatively standard install of Android 2.2. Meanwhile, MOTOBLUR will still be foisted on pay-monthly customers who buy a Photon 4G or XPRT from Sprint, Virgin Mobile’s parent company. Some of them might like the shell and its add-ons, but others will be better off without such OS contamination .

Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile hands-on (video)

We’re live here at Motorola / Sprint’s press event in New York City, and while most of the folks are swarming around the newly minted Photon 4G , we wanted to give some love to the Motorola Triumph , the first Moto handset to land on Virgin Mobile’s network. While the 4.1-inch, Froyo-packing phone and its 2GB of storage might seem ho-hum to spec junkies, it’s a shockingly solid option for a prepaid carrier. And it comes Motoblur-free! How many Photon 4Gs have that to say for themselves? Take a stroll past the break for a tour, and see why we think the Triumph could actually be a pretty solid score for those who detest strings and fine print.
