An Android smartphone called Samsung Vibrant (a variant of the Galaxy S) launches on T-Mobile July 21, but when you pay the $199 price tag the phone won’t be all you’ll get. Each handset will come pre-loaded with a copy of Avatar and the mobile gameThe Sims 3 Collector’s Edition.

Not everyone thinks it’s a great deal, however; the most notable dissenter is Avatar director James Cameron, who has said that watching his movie on a phone or even a laptop would be “dumb.” He said he wouldn’t stop anyone from doing so, “especially if they’re paying for it,” but that he “wouldn’t recommend it.”

It’d be easy to disagree with Cameron if he was making sweeping statements about watching all films on cellphones, but the main appeal of this particular movie is its spectacular visuals and special effects. It’s bad enough that you can’t watch it in the original 3D format, given that the Vibrant lacks the 3D technology found on devices like the Nintendo 3DS.

Still, the Vibrant has a 4-inch AMOLED display, so if you’re going to watch Avatar on a phone at all, this one would be one of your better options.
