It looks like Solo Mobile is the last Canadian carrier to add the Samsung Galaxy Gio affordable Android smartphone to its portfolio.

Bell's low-cost carrier offers the Galaxy Gio for as low as $49.99 (about 36 EUR) with a new two-year agreement or for $249.99 (about 182 EUR) outright.

However, those who don't resent Bell's services can get the Galaxy Gio for only $200 without having to sign for a new contract.

Galaxy Gio is one of Samsung's older Android smartphones, but is still considered bang for the buck, especially that the handset is planned for a Gingerbread upgrade.

The phone is equipped with a 800 MHz Qualcomm QCT MSM7227-1 Turbo processor, 158 MB of internal memory, and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 2GB memory card included).
