Without a contract - and Canadian contracts are incomparably unreasonable at 36-months long - the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant will likely be sold for $599 CDN, which is the retail value given in Bell’s terms and conditions of its daily giveaway.

Bell’s sweepstakes formally tips August 23rd as the Galaxy S’ Canadian release. Americans pay $500 for their T-Mobile Vibrant and AT&T Captivate, so the exchange rate is clearly unfavorable to Canadians. I was anticipating somewhere around $550 CDN (same as the Sony Xperia X10), but Samsung thinks that it can take on the iPhone 4, which is $549 CDN (8Gb model). When will Telus get its Galaxy S?
