Fido's LG Neon: seen, priced, and oh so available

Fido, everybody's fave low cost GSM alternative in Canada -- and yes, we do know they are owned by Rogers but are different brands, we live here, we use them -- has ponied up an LG Neon of its own today. While Rogers offering rumbles in off-contract at $199, Fido has chosen $179 as its entry point and a 2 year stint costing you $50. Well done Fido for a handset that while lacking the extra 3G speed certainly makes up for it with a bit 'o style and hard to beat messaging functionality.

Just like to point out that there is a typo in the paragraph..the phone is 175$ with no contract. Not 179$.

THANKS FIDO !!!
I have a Motorola Z6w that I "like" but it's becoming hard to text (I'm a text-machine, have 2 500 text messages included and went over one month, 2 507 :P) so a QWERTY-keyboard would be perfect for me!!
And at 179$, with almost 100$ in Fido Dollars, it'll come out cheap!
