Pricing is actually nice, nice device to go with Rogers unlimited text messaging plan. But only if they stuck to bring all 3g devices.

I thought this phone was coming out for Fido.

I told my friend this was coming out for fido and he was really excited... I just hope it is

I thought this phone was coming out for Fido.

Myself included. That's what our official Q1 notes said... unless Rogers are planning to pull another "E71" on us.

We were to get the Bold first...

Bell Mobility did score the first CDMA Palm Tero Pro in North America (over Sprint). Sprint has moved launch date from January to March 15-possibly further.

Back on topic-I do agree that we generally get phones last and that is mainly due to market size.

I just hope that when they make the change to the new technology that wicked European devices will come over...

I'm pretty excited to be picking up an LG Neon on Monday, but I do have a couple of questions for anyone in the know, or who happens to own one of these phones already.

1) Does this phone, in fact, actually use Android OS?

2) Can you use non-DRM ringtones?

3) What kind of java applet support does it have? MIDP1/2, etc.?

Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply. :)

The only question I can answer confidently is #1 with a strong NO.
Anyone else...

Hmm, that's interesting. A lot of sites state that it uses Android, but I can't find any official source stating one way or the other. Can you point to where I can find this information?

[Rashan]

So can I find this phone at a local future shop or walmart and take advantage of the rebate or can that only be done through rogers?

[gspawn]

As far as I know, the rebate is only through rogers. If the phone was available at future shop or something like, it would probably set you back a lot more than $79.99.

I think LG said there will be a revision of this phone which uses android, not the first generation.

[Rashan]

I figured they would activate it for your at the futureshop I guess not.

[raintonight]

I am freaking dieing for this phone so badly...........

[IheartEU]

Hold your breath for a little more. I am also waiting for it to come out with Fido and I don't have a phone for 2 weeks already and it's a funny feeling. But there's a new post on the website, that we should be seeing the Neon at Fido this week. Does anyone know if there will be more colours this time?

[Xkalibr]

Hi everyone, I bought my TE365 last march and after downloading the game Zombie Infection my phone is now infected :) It has multi colored lines running horizontally and vertically through the screen making it hard to see who is calling and nearly impossible to text. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
