    Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 edge devices just launched worldwide last Friday (one week ago from today), but some customers have had to wait because some carriers have had to wait.

    While Rogers, TELUS, and Bell Canada all had first dibs on their devices, Fido Canada and Virgin Mobile Canada had to “take a number” to wait for their turn to start stocking and selling Samsung’s latest. Fortunately, that wait ends today. If you’re a Canada resident and are willing to sign a two-year agreement with either carrier, then you’re in luck: both devices are now available for purchase from these two carriers.

    Fido Canada currently has the off-contract Galaxy S6 edge selling for $850 off-contract, $650 with a standard two-year agreement, $550 with a two-year Smart plan, and $350 with a two-year MAX plan. The $350 MAX price is for the 32GB, since Fido’s only selling the 32GB Galaxy S6 edge for now. Fido’s Galaxy S6 will retail for $750 off-contract, $550 with a standard two-year agreement, $450 with a two-year Smart plan, and $250 with a two-year MAX plan. The $250 MAX deal is for the 32GB model, and the 64GB and 128GB models on the MAX plan will cost $360 and $470, respectively.

    Virgin Mobile Canada is only selling the 32GB Galaxy S6 edge in Black Sapphire and White Pearl, with customers paying $829.99 for the month-to-month agreement or $349.99 on a Platinum Plan (requires two-year agreement). The Galaxy S6 will cost $729.99 on the month-to-month agreement, or $249.99 with a Platinum two-year plan. Virgin Mobile’s got a few other perks involved, such as a $250 credit when you trade in your old smartphone as well as free activation for your new Galaxy S6 or S6 edge (activation fee waiver for a limited time only). Keep in mind you’ll pay $4.99 for the SIM card charge, however.

    So, Fido and Virgin Mobile customers, who’s picking up these “hot potatoes”?
