Oh Canada! Your country has given us many good things: bacon, politeness, cheaper prices for those who cross the border, and John Candy. So it’s only adequate that we give you the Android in return. We told you last week that the Samsung Galaxy would go on sale December 10th on Canada’s Bell and it looks like that panned out pretty perfectly:
Bingo bango. If you’ve been waiting for this bad boy, check it out and it could be yours for less than $100 bucks. This is Bell’s first Android Phone so those Canadians who felt like they were left in the dark – now you shall see! Let us know how you like your new robot friend.

…and running an already-obsolete Android 1.5. No plans to upgrade to 1.6, 2.0 or 2.1 given by Samsung. From a current Galaxy owner: find a different manufacturer.

From another Samsung Galaxy Owner!

Samsung please go back to your winMo or Symbian phones or your new Bada crap. Leave the Android to other companies who get the software right…

Can’t believe people are already complaining about the firmware version. Sigh…..
Someone will probably come out with a 3rd party image soon enough so you can play.

So they’re NOW selling an already old and abandoned phone? Right… Well done Bell.

I’m with Bell and just picked up the Galaxy yesterday. Overall it is a neat phone, better than my blackberry 8830 but its lack of Exchange connectivity is really a pisser. I am sure that a 2.0 upgrade will be made available soon whether it’s from samsung or from a 3rd party source. Either way, it will fill in the gap until I can get my hands on a Motorola Milestone from Brazil.
