Bell Mobility is going to launch a new messaging phone in Canada, the Vice from Samsung. Although it might look initially as a candybar handset, the Vice has a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard ready to offer you all the messaging you need.

We don’t have quite all the details yet but the phone is not a slider. It will probably let you do lots of stuff like going online and accessing various services but if you need a true smartphone you might have to look elsewhere for it.

The phone will probably come cheap too but we don’t have any release dates or actual prices. Considering that Bell will sell the Omnia from Samsung for only $129.95 with a 3-year contract we assume the Vice will be significantly more affordable.
