Mobilicity may be a smaller carrier up here in the Great White North, but in the areas they do cover, they provide some seriously inexpensive options for mobile service. Today, they have announced the release of the Samsung Galaxy Mini, and exclusive device only available from Mobilicity, hitting the affordability nail on the head again. Priced at $169.99, the device makes for an affordable, entry level Android device, perfect for a student or the budget-concious who need to remain connected without breaking the bank.

The Samsung Galaxy Mini features a 3.14″ touchscreen, 3MP camera, Bluetooth and WiFi, and under the hood keeps things respectable while still remaining the little brother to the bigger names in the Android handheld market. The device currently runs Froyo, but is upgradeable to Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
