Rogers getting the 5 megapixel LG GT500?

Juicy XML metadata on LG's own site suggests that the GT500 -- which has yet to be officially announced for any market, though it was originally rumored for T-Mobile in Europe -- should be destined for Rogers at some point. That's pretty awesome news for Canadians of all shapes and sizes, considering the spec sheet has this one rolling deep (well, somewhat deep) with 3G, a 5 megapixel cam, and a WQVGA touchscreen. The only GT500 we've seen pass the FCC so far only received approval on EDGE bands, suggesting that Rogers will have to wait for a second version with North American 3G or forge ahead with EDGE alone; for everyone's sake, we're hoping they take the former option.

Knowing Rogers, they'll take the cheapest option, and overcharge their customers for it no matter what.

All jokes aside though, since Rogers' only real competition is Bell (which isn't even a GSM), I doubt Rogers would cheap out on 3G. They tout their service as having the most 3G phones available, or some marketing crap along those lines, so I doubt they would cheap out on 3G for this phone.
