The Samsung VICE has been spotted on the Virgin Mobile Canada website. No word yet on launch date or pricing but it should not be far away.

The Samsung VICE has a full QWERTY (slide out) keyboard and standard numeric keyboard. I will be posting a review of Bell’s Samsung VICE in the coming days so be sure to read it before buying.

Also, I haven’t heard from all the day 1 winners yet. If they don’t respond soon, I’ll be picking a new winner for a Jawbone Prime headset.

Today Rogers is launching the Android powered HTC Dream and Magic. I had a chance to play with both of them and was very impressed. Not just because it’s something new to try but because they seem to work well.
Both will cost $149.99 on a 3 year if you have a plan with a minimum monthly fee of $45. Rogers is also bringing back the $30/6GB plans for these devices until July 1st 2009.
Here’s the goods:
- Full suite of Google applications including Google search, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Apps and YouTube
- Android Market (an app store)
- Quad band GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900Mhz
- Dual band HSDPA 850/1900Mhz, 7.2Mbps
- 3.2″ 320×480 LCD with capacitive touch screen (no stylus needed)
- Gmail and Exchange support both with push
- IMAP and POP3 email support
- 3.2MP camera
- Bluetooth, WiFi
- Micro SDHC card slot
- Both use a mini USB connector located at the bottom for charging and headphones. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack

The Dream has a slick pop out keyboard, 1150mAh battery and 256MB RAM with a Qualcomm MSM 7200 528Mhz processor.


The Magic has no physical keyboard, is a bit thinner and noticeably lighter 1340mAh, 288MB RAM with a Qualcomm MSM 7201 528Mhz processor. Please excuse the picture, the table had a bright red table cloth on it.
