LG Eve Android smartphone launched by Rogers

LG Electronics Canada and Rogers Wireless has announced a world first: the LG Eve, a new Android OS-based smartphone designed specifically for social networking, is now available exclusively at Rogers. The LG Eve provides customers with the freedom of mobile social networking, making it easier to stay connected anytime, anywhere.

The Android-Powered LG Eve comes with S-Class UI, 3-inch 480×320 touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera with video and autofocus, photo gallery and media editor, slide-out 5-line QWERTY keyboard, GPS, WiFi, accelerometer and more. There's also a 2GB memory card in the box, with expansion to 16GB available (microSD). The LG Eve features a special application called Social Network Services (SNS) Manager, which brings together a user's Facebook, Twitter and Bebo networks into one place, letting them check status updates in real time. The SNS Manager takes social networking to a new level by connecting the contact list to provide an easy to read log for each contact, so the user can see the contact for each friend, whether that be via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter or on a call.

The LG Eve will officially launch at the newly opened LG Experience Zone at the Air Canada Centre on November 3rd, prior to the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game. The LG Eve is available at Rogers for $49.99 with 3 year voice and data activations.
