LG GW620 Eve coming to Rogers, Android deftly avoids AT&T yet again

It looks like Canada's Rogers will be among the first carriers in the world to offer LG's first Android device, the GW620 Eve -- and for North Americans, this is particularly notable since it means there's a version of the device at retail that'll theoretically work on Bell, Telus, and AT&T in addition to Rogers proper. We have no indication that AT&T's about to actually pull the trigger on this thing (or on any Android device for that matter), though, so if you're into the 5 megapixel AF cam, full QWERTY slide, and 7.2Mbps HSDPA capability, we'd recommend putting your unlockin' pants on. For Rogers customers, we're not seeing a release date just yet, but it looks like you'll be paying a downright reasonable CAD $49.99 (about $47) on a three-year deal when it launches.

Keyboard on this thing looks as good as the Touch Pro 2!!! This is definetly a very intriguing device! Camera is right, slideout keyboard is nice, and it'll work on ATT's 3G!!!

I don't know what the deal is with ATT and the no Android though!!!!!

AT&T wont have a Android OS phone. Not as long as they have the iPhone, Android is too much of a threat.

Yeah, well, theres always the unlocked option. I wonder how much this would be unlocked AND unbranded.

For $399.99 without a contract, that's not to bad a deal especially for an Android smartphone.
