Bell and Virgin release the LG Eclypse

By on December 12, 2011 at 8:54pm in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News, Virgin Mobile News


Bell and Virgin have released the entry level Android 2.3.4 LG Eclypse. Both companies have this at the no-term price of $250, but the 3-year contract price differs. Bell has this available for $0, while Virgin has this slide-out QWERTY for $49.99. The Eclypse has a 3.5-inch touchscreen display (320 x 480), Wi-Fi hotspot, and probably the best part of this is that it comes with a 5MP camera that shoots 720p HD videos.

    • This phone was never released in Canada. I really doubt you had this phone before.

    • Your talking about the LG Rumor Plus? These 2 phones really have nothing to do with eachother except they are both LG and have a keyboard…

  2. Decent phone but the Galaxy W seems a better choice unless you need a keyboard

    • Basically you take the Galaxy W, rip off its WVGA screen and put a QVGA one and a keyboard.

      Both phones have the MSM8255, but the Eclypse’s is clocked slower at 1GHz.

      Glad to see lower end phones making the move to ARMv7.

  3. The only one reason why Bell/Virgin picked yet another device is to make the other carriers dont.

  6. Good low-mid level phone if you like qwrty ( less and less people?) but when you compare the Eclypse and the Galaxy W at the same price the W is the one to get and the Eclypse its overpriced. It should be around $180. Wait to get it on sale in Zellers prepaid around $100 in Mid January.

    • How will the Galaxy W be $100 on Zellers Prepaid in January? It was released not long ago, I can;t see the price dropping that much so soon =/

  7. The specs aren’t bad, and it’s also available for $199 for prepaid on Virgin. Not everyone is looking for a dual core superphone. Not sure I would get it myself though, I’ve been burned by LG before

  9. I returned the Samsung Galaxy W because I had difficulty texting. The LG Eclypse has a great slide-out full keyboard that makes texting a breaze.

    The LG Eclypse is a super cool phone with excellent phone clarity, easy texting, takes great photos, 4G speed & Android make it very fast, and a nice large touch screen. There are more powerful phones on the market but, I don’t want a phone with an expensive Data Plan for videos and internet. The LG Eclypse is perfect for me.

    NOTE:
    During the first week the battery drained really quick because I spent a long time on the device exploring icons, wallpapers and setting up options. In the 2nd week the battery drainage wasn’t an issue.
