Remember the Samsung Link that’s supposedly exclusive to Bell? Well, forget that whole exclusivity clause as Virgin Mobile has beaten them to the punch and officially launched the Link in Canada already.
Apart from providing us with a better picture of Samsung’s latest QWERTY-equipped handset, they’ve also made available its price across the various contract terms: $29.99 for 3-years, $49.99 for 2-years, and $99.99 for a single year and outright/prepaid purchase. Staying true to prior reports, the Samsung Link also features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, web surfing and email support, MP3 player, and a maximum storage capacity of 16GB. At its price point, that’s not such a bad deal. For more info on Virgin Mobile’s Samsung Link offer, you can be head on over here.
Now that Virgin Mobile has proudly unleashed their Samsung Link offer, maybe Bell would like to rethink their battle plan and release theirs ahead of its purported July 30th debut date.

UPDATE: It’s now available on Bell as well. More info here.

ahhh isn’t Virgin a division of Bell – therefore moot point
True, but Bell subscribers still won’t be able to get it from Bell.
