Rogers lined up to get LG GT540, Neon 2?
The LG Neon's spiritual successor actually bowed a few months ago (February, to be exact) as the GT350, but it looks like Rogers -- which continues to carry the original Neon -- is finally getting ready to unleash this thing as the Neon 2. Dummies for the new models are starting to roll into stores, it seems, alongside those of the GT540, a midrange Android-powered slate that we actually first saw all the way back at CES this year. Though official pricing and availability aren't known, we wouldn't expect either one to command much dough -- and indeed, MobileSyrup is quoting a CAD $29.99 ($29) sticker price on a new three-year deal. We know which one we'd rather have.
LG's GT350 makes the KS360 look like a punk
LG Neon and KS360 owners, avert your eyes, because seriously -- this thing might be like a knife through your fragile heart. Complementing the GD880 announcement today, LG's showing the full-QWERTY GT350 with a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen that works throughout the UI, unlike the limited-function touch employed by its predecessor -- and just to twist that knife a little harder, they've gone from a 3-row keyboard layout to four. It's got Facebook and Twitter integration built-in with direct social networking access straight from the keyboard (good to see they're putting that extra row to use) along with push email and support for multiple accounts -- perfect for the young'un who isn't quite ready for a boring smartphone that's had all the life and joy sucked out of it. Like the KS360, this one will be available in a variety of colors -- blue, purple, silver, and black to start -- when it launches in Europe come April.
