Bell to release the LG Eclipse

By on November 14, 2011 at 12:56pm in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News


Looks like another Android is coming to Bell, not as fancy or high profile as the Galaxy Nexus, but the LG “Eclipse” is targeting the mid-range audience. This should make it to stores later this month and our sources say it was similar to the “Enlighten” that Verizon launched in the States. As for specs, this Android 2.3-powered device has a 3.2-inch touchscreen (320×480), a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 800MHz processor, 3.2MP camera and Wi-Fi. No clue yet on the price points or exact release date.

More soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

  1. I would say low end device. I don’t see why people would want to sign a 3 year contract with a phone that will be obsolete in a year.

    • Obsolete? As in unusable? Be careful when you throw words like this around. I do agree, however, that a 3-year contract for a phone like this may not be the smartest way to go.

    • Friend of mine got the Atrix free on a 2 year the other day. Checked out the price on Bell.ca and it said $0 for 2 year. Maybe it will be a trend…

    • What he means by “obsolete” is that it has the Android 2.3.x operating system. Of course, any 2.x phone will still be useful, with more features than a “feature” phone. The main problem for me is that, unlike the HTC Status, this LG Eclipse/Enlighten has no front-facing camera. :(

  2. Since this is an obscure model (the Verizon one was CDMA) the chances of this thing getting any updates are about zero.

  3. looks surprisingly similiar to my Dext which is only 550 mhz but no thanks to Bell now runs CYanogenmod 7.1. quite well I might add. WHats with all these budget phones coming out now? kust save up for a month and buy one no-contract. Its silly to sign away 3 years of your life for one of these…

  5. I swear Bell is the best carrier in Canada. All you others who choose a different carriers are goofs. If you want sick phones and the best rate plans go with Bell.

    All my white dudes and pujab homies agree.

    • Phones should not subsidized, nor be locked or “exclusive” to a carrier, in exchange for lower monthly plans. Mobile products and services should be separate. Sadly, the industry loves annual contracts. This is why service costs a fortune. However, i unlocked the LG Chic to avoid using Bell.
