In questi giorni si è molto parlato dei nuovi terminali proposti da Motorola e Sony Ericsson, mettendo un po’ da parte tutto il resto. Nella giornata di ieri, l’operatore canadese Rogers Wireless, ha ufficialmente presentato il nuovissimo LG Eve, meglio conosciuto come LG Etna o ancora LG GW620. Nonostante si parli da diversi mesi di questo terminale, la sua prima apparizione è avvenuta lo scorso mese di settembre in occasione dell’ IFA tenutosi a Berlino, sullo stand Vodafone.

Diversi giorni fa è stata pubblicata una pagina web completamente dedicata al nuovo terminale, anche se in fase di definizione poiché alcuni contenuti risultavano assenti, raggiungibile al seguente indirizzo: http://www.androidup.com/www.lg-gw620.com.

Qui possiamo leggere un estratto del comunicato stampa ufficiale (in inglese):

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO and TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Nov. 3, 2009) – LG Electronics Canada and Rogers Wireless today announced a world first: the LG Eve, a new Android OS-based smartphone designed specifically for social networking, is now available exclusively at Rogers.
