Just days after launching the Legend on its discount brand Virgin Mobile, Mobile Syrup is reporting that Bell plans to launch their own version on June 16th. Bell is positioning the device to compete with Rogers’ recently released Sony Ericsson X10 and Telus’s HTC Hero, with pricing set at $79.95 on a 3-year contract, $249.95 on a 2-year; $349.95 on a 1-year and $399.95 no contract (Just $50 above the asking price of Virgin).

Apparently the Virgin-sold handset, while SIM-locked, will work on Bell’s network without need for an unlock code, though we have yet to confirm this. More to come.
