Bell may get Samsung Galaxy Rugby LTE on November 1st, give Canadians rough and tumble 4G

Americans won't get to keep the [Galaxy Rugby Pro](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/samsung-galaxy-rugby-pro-for-atandt-hands-on/) all to themselves. As long as internal documents gleaned by _MobileSyrup_ prove true, [Bell](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Bell/) should be carrying Samsung's ruggedized 4G phone as the Galaxy Rugby LTE on November 1st. Other than the name change, it's likely to be a match for the AT&T version down to the very wide frequency support we [saw at the FCC](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/25/samsung-sgh-i547-runs-through-cert-gauntlets-with-quad-band-lte/), when it appeared as the SGH-i547. You're looking at a modest 4-inch screen, 768MB of RAM and 5-megapixel rear camera, but also a quick 1.5GHz dual-core processor, Android 4.0 and that dust- and waterproof body. Pricing is an unknown, although the partly toned-down features imply that the Galaxy Rugby LTE will skew well below the $160 contract price for a [Galaxy S III](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/) on Bell's network.
