LG Neon hits Rogers for $29.99

by Chris Ziegler posted Mar 6th 2009 at 9:18AM

As expected, LG has graced our Canadian friends on Rogers with the Neon messaging phone for a decidedly easy-to-swallow $29.99 CAD (about $23) on contract after rebate. Your hard-earned $30 is gonna buy you a 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen, 2 megapixel cam, media player with FM radio, microSD expansion, stereo Bluetooth, and a triband EDGE that'll be good enough to let you take the phone most of the way around the world -- as long as you're not expecting high-speed data anywhere. Your turn, AT&T?

The commercial for this is just terrible, like all of Rogers' commercials. I wish a plane would fall out of the sky and land on those stupid kids. And then, as a way to help us "cope" the company starts selling data plans at prices comparable to those in the US. *sigh* I can dream, right?

This is an absolutely TERRIBLE phone. Whatever you do - do NOT opt for this phone!
I have had two malfunction on me in 1 1/2 months.....and how lovely...but Rogers will not
offer me a different model, because I brought the SECOND one back in 31 days...not in 30
days! What wonderful service. Unfortunately I have a 3 year contract with this piece of
crap!
