If the rumours are true, Bell will attempt to counter Telus’ HTC Desire with its own superphone at the beginning of August, with the Samsung Vibrant. The build is the same as that of the T-Mobile Vibrant, sans extra apps and Avatar, but the hardware still screams quality. Electronista is calling for August 6th, though that’s still rumour.

When this comes out it will be the most powerful Android device available in Canada. While the Desire and the Vibrant each have 1GHZ processors, the latter’s Hummingbird processor is much more powerful than the Desire’s Snapdragon (though they both have equally awesome names). In 3D tests, especially, the Vibrant’s graphics processing power blows the Desire out of the water.

The Vibrant ships with Android 2.1, a 4″ 800×480 Super AMOLED screen, 5MP camera that can shoot 720p video, 16GB built-in flash memory, WiFi, GPS, etc. Should be a killer phone.
