We have some great news for you folks on Canada’s Mobilicity, as the wireless provider is making the wildly popular Galaxy Nexus available to customers as of today. Users will not only be able to get their hands on the device for the price of $599.99 (no-contract), but also a “bonus,” as Mobilicity will throw-in a free Samsung HM1100 Bluetooth headset (valued at $39.99). Not bad.

It’s said that the company pushed its release date up a few days earlier (from Feb. 6) to counter rival carrier WIND Mobile, who announced it would launch the Android 4.0 powered handset on Feb. 3rd. Even though Mobi is releasing the Galaxy Nexus today, the device has yet to appear on the company’s site, and it will be limited to “select Mobilicity stores across Canada.” The Canadian-based wireless provider didn’t provide specifics in its press release about which locations.

Regardless, this is a pretty good deal. As a U.S. citizen, I’m not sure how good Mobilicity’s network is but a $599 price tag with the addition of a decent Samsung Bluetooth isn’t too shabby. Mobilicity customers out there, please tell us if your excited to get the Galaxy Nexus?
