LG Neon II hits up AT&T, lords 3G over its predecessor
It took a little longer than we'd anticipated, but LG's Neon II has finally filtered down from the snowcapped northern realms to the North -- though strangely, the version AT&T's getting looks quite different (and worse, if you ask us) from Rogers' model. Besides the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, you get a 2 megapixel cam, 2.4-inch QVGA display, and little else -- in other words, it's basically a refreshed Neon that's mercifully been graced with 3G for the first time. Interested parties can sign up right now for $29.99 on contract after discount.
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.
