Samsung’s aggressive rollout of Galaxy S continues. Now they’ve announced the device for Canada and will be known as Galaxy S Vibrant. Unlike US variants, this Canadian version has the same design as the international one and boasts same specs like a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, HSPA, TouchWiz 3.0, 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, DLNA and microSD card slot.

No word on the price but it’s expected to be launched on Bell in summer.

Another interesting mention is that Galaxy S Vibrant is one of the Galaxy S smartphones and Canadian consumers should expect “release of additional Galaxy S smartphones throughout the rest of 2010.”

Bell will be launching its HSPA network tomorrow and have announced Omnia II to complement its fast network. The device is the same that is sold in other markets but the Canadian Omnia II is bestowed with a special tag. It’s the official mobile device of 2010 Olympic Winter Games that will be held in Vancouver in February, 2010. Users will also be able to download Samsung’s Wireless Olympic Works (WOW) allowing them to keep track of the happenings during the Olympics.

Omnia II feature set includes Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, TouchWiz UI, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3.7-inches AMOLED touchscreen, 5MP auto focus camera with dual LED flash, Office doc support, 16GB internal memory and expandable up to 32GB with microSD card slot.

It will start selling from next month at an undisclosed price.

Remember Samsung Link? It seems it missed the July 15 release date and will be announced on July 30. And yes, it’s totally different to what we had assumed to be a CDMA version of Valencia. It has a nice pebble like design, full QWERTY, 2.2-inch display, 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot up to 16GB and support for IM & e-mail. Mobile Syrup has also got their mitts on the price and it looks to be a cheap ask, if you can commit to Bell for 3 years.

Pricing details over here.

Mobile Syrup received an image of Samsung’s new phone claimed to be coming on Bell on July 15. The phone is called Link and while other details are still awaited, a closer look hints that it might the CDMA variant of C6620/C6625 aka Valencia with some button design changes.

If it is indeed Valencia’s variant, we can expect a budget smartphone that runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, EVDO, 2.6-inch QVGA screen, 2MP camera, GPS etc.
