PureMobile: Rogers Has The LG GW620

Rogers Has The LG GW620

According to the grapevine, Canada’s Rogers Wireless will be one of the first carriers to offer the very first android device from LG -the GW620. Now that is some exciting news especially for those who have been trying to get more information about LG’s android phone. It has been spotted in the wild a lot of times to excite android aficionados but with no clear-cut release dates whatsoever. Rogers Canada offering the said android phone in the very near future is particularly good news for many Canadians because it means there will be a version of the handset at retail that will work on Bell and Telus; theoretically that is.

There are no updates if AT&T will join in the bandwagon for the LG GW620 craze and it seems they have no plans of offering an android gadget for that matter. For those who are into the full QWERTY slide (in LG GW630’s case it is an AZERTY), super sleek phone with a 5 megapixel camera and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA capability -better get ready to do some unlocking. The phone has a standard headphone included in the package.

For Rogers’ clientele, there is no release date as of the moment but rumor has it that the android will be yours at a reasonable rate of CAD $49.99 for a three year contract once the phone is launched.

With this android phone about to be launched, many AT&T and Verizon customers are considering to jump ship. Apart from not offering androids, customers are fed up with overpricing and for these big carriers refusing to compete with other carriers’ much lower prices.

Sprint on the other hand is looking much better in the eyes of potential clients because it tries to compete with the new prices on androids and even other handsets. Sprint is also revamping its portfolio of phone and is now offering more phones to choose from.
