It seems that waves of Android smartphones is not going to stop soon. Canada have also been invaded by Android smartphones, and the latest two of them is this, the Samsung Vibrant a.k.a. Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC Desire.

Bell is now officially offering the Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S for a price of $79 with a 3-yr contract agreement.In addition, Bell also offers Lady Gaga concert tickets for those who buy the Galaxy S Vibrant before August 12. In addition, there is also a lucky draw for people who buy the Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S before September 3, with the price of 55-inch Samsung LED HD TV.

Meanwhile, Telus is also starting to offer the HTC Desire for the same price as the Samsung Vibrant ($79.99 with a 3-yr contract agreement). Alternatively, you can buy the HTC Desire without contract for $449.99. There are also 1-yr and 2-yr contract agreement plan for this HTC Desire with a price of $399.99 and $349.99, respectively.

So after some time of waiting, we finally got a leaked information about the price of the TouchPro2. It is still unofficial, but I believe that the price will not be far from what I will mention. So the HTC TouchPro2 price plans are:

  • $299.99 on a 2 year contract plan
  • $349.99 on one year contract plan

Hmmm… A bit expensive, don’t you agree? However, some people have said that the HTC TouchPro2 might be the T-Mobile’s offer with the richest-feature to date. But it is still far above the iPhone 3GS plan price ($199) So are you still interested with the QWERTY phone?
