Mobile phone carrier T-Mobile has just put in place a new special offering for its users, in the form of a Samsung Vibrant available at only half the original price. The handset, which is T-Mobile flavor of the popular Samsung Galaxy S, is available for only $99 on the carrier's website, but the offer would last only for several hours, it seems. Of course, the $99 offering for T-Mobile's Galaxy S version still requires the signing of a two-year contract agreement, just as it did before.

Even so, the Samsung Vibrant still seems as appealing as it can be, and the fact that the Galaxy S was sold in over 800 k units during the first 55 days of availability shows exactly that.

The specifications list of the device is as impressive as it can be, including the 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display that boasts a WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, and which is meant to offer an enhanced visual experience to all users.

The features list of Samsung Vibrant also includes: - Preloaded with T-Mobile exclusive The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition - Preloaded with James Cameron’s Avatar - Watch live and on-demand TV with MobiTV - Read the most popular books with Kindle for Android - Access to Gogo Inflight Internet and Slacker Radio - Access to thousands of apps on Android Market

Of course, a wide range of other specs are also there to make users happy, including the 1GHz Hummingbird processor from Samsung, or the 16GB of internal memory it sports, complemented by microSD card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space. The mobile phone runs under Google's Android 2.1 operating system, but Samsung already committed to delivering the Android 2.2 Froyo software update to all Galaxy S users within a matter of weeks.

Those mobile phone users interested in purchasing the new Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile should head to the carrier's website here to get the device at the lower price tag.
