Virgin launching Galaxy S II on July 14th, employees given the chance to win one

By on June 30, 2011 at 7:57pm in Mobile News, Virgin Mobile News


The countdown is now on… 14 days until the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G is officially available in Canada. This incredibly desired Android 2.3 device is en-route to Bell, Virgin and SaskTel. The no-term pricing will be $599.95 and SaskTel revealed the 3-year at a respectable $79.99.

Let’s shuffle over to some Virgin Galaxy S II news now. The internal doc above shows that Virgin has put together some sort of incentive program for employees who sell the most Samsung Galaxy S II devices… personally, I don’t think they’ll have a hard time selling them but this gives them a chance to win a Galaxy S II of their own!! Pretty sweet deal… The dates run from July 14th (launch date) to July 31st.

(Thanks tipster!)

  4. I wonder if Rogers is on the sidelines because they are releasing the buttonless version of the Samsung Galaxy S2. I wouldn’t mind if it just had the capacitive buttons at the bottom. As long as Rogers gets it, otherwise I am going to cancel and move carriers. Has Telus confirmed the GS2?

  10. A better story is how Bell decided to drop Blackberry as their phone and is giving all Bell and Virgin Store Managers a new HTC Sensation.

    • Interesting! is this another sign that RIM continues to slide down? or is it because Bell got a good deal on the Sensation?
      And why a Sensation rather than a GS2?

    • The only reason Bell dropped RIM is because they are now in a partnership with HTC. Therefore it makes sence to have the sensation as a device for managers instead of a 9700. Plus Bell was paying out 10 bucks for every Blackberry sold which HTC doesn’t ask for.

  11. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Samsung “spiff” and not a Virgin one. I use to work as a distributor for Samsung and their incentive programs were great – made me a lot of money at the time.

  12. Meanwhile has Rogers even mentioned when their infuse is coming, even though no one cares… Time to move on to Bell me thinks.

  13. Very nice, SRP is predictable of course but I think they could’ve easily started much higher for 3 year pricing. Makes the iPhone price even more of a joke than it already is.

  14. So should us Rogers users buy and unlock the Bell/Virgin phone? or order now from the UK? or wait for Rogers to get it?
