Not surprising at all. Last week Mobilicity proudly stated that they’ll be releasing the Galaxy Nexus on Monday, February 6th. However, since hearing the news that rival carrier WIND Mobile will be beating them and launching the OS 4.0 powered device on the Feb. 3rd, Mobilicity has decided to make the Galaxy Nexus available today.

Could be because the Galaxy Nexus is officially launching on February 6th… which is the same day all the above devices go on sale. As you can see the Samsung Nexus S drops [...]
Mobilicity is having an event in Toronto tonight with a few HowardForums members, aptly titled “HoFoLicity”.

It’s no HTC Amaze, nor the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but the Huawei U2801 made its Canadian appearance on WIND last week for $65 and we thought that was cheap. Mobilicity has just released this very entry level device a low $49.99 outright price. Good for those just wanting to talk and text, especially with their [...]
Mobilicity has stepped into another retail environment, this time testing their luck in a few Metro grocery stores.
