Solo Mobile plans to bring back the flip phone by releasing the Samsung S275
On May 17th Bell’s sub-brand Solo Mobile stopped activating customers. This was largely due to competition and to focus on a two-brand strategy with Virgin Mobile. Bell encouraged Solo customers to migrate over, but those who didn’t want to move were still able to have low monthly rates and occasionally upgrade to a new handset. [...]

“Solo Mobile will no longer be activating new customers”
This is an interesting turn of events. Solo Mobile was launched in 2000 and is a sub-brand of Bell Mobility. The entry-level and low cost prepaid player has been overshadowed by competitors such as Fido, Koodo, Chatr, Wind, Mobilicity and even Bell’s other sub-brand, Virgin Mobile. The last time we’ve seen Solo release a new [...]

Bell’s low-cost carrier has launched the Samsung Galaxy Gio – an Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread with a 3.2-inch touchscreen (480 x 320 resolution), 800 Mhz processor, 3 megapixel camera and Wi-Fi.

This is available for $149.99 on a no-contract basis or $49.99 on a 2-year (FYI: Virgin has this cheaper by $20). Hopefully Solo will step up and release a [...]
