Rogers Wireless have today announced the launch of the LG Eve, the first Android powered handset from LG Electronics.

The LG Eve (also known as the LG GW620 and LG Etna), was first spotted at a German trade show back in September, but up until now hasn’t been associated with any mobile carrier or release date.

Featuring a 3-inch touchscreen display, 5 mega-pixel camera, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the LG Eve is designed specifically for social networking, and will allow users to easily connect and manage their social networking profiles from any location.

The ultimate smartphone for social media enthusiasts, the LG Eve features a special application called Social Network Services (SNS) Manager, which brings together a user’s Facebook, Twitter and Bebo networks into one place, letting them check status updates in real time. The SNS Manager takes social networking to a new level by connecting the contact list to provide an easy to read log for each contact, so the user can see the contact for each friend, whether that be via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter or on a call.

LG Eve Features:

* Threaded SMS, which groups SMS texts by sender and displays them like a message board for easy-to-follow reading
* A 3D gallery for viewing and sorting photos, with the ability to quickly and easily find photos by tagging favourites or using the filtering tool to sort photos by tags, face recognition or date
* 5 line QWERTY keypad
* Advanced Video Recording and Playback, which allows a user to play videos or make their own videos using built-in editing tools, which can then be uploaded onto social networking sites or sent to friends via email.
* Video Recording: MPEG4,H263@QVGA24fps
* Video Playback: MPEG4, H264 @ HVGA 24fps, WMV, DviX
* Advanced Camera Features:
* 5 Mega Pixels AF (with LED Flash)
* Audio Codec:
* MP3, AMR, AAC, AAC+, WAV, WMA
* Data Connectivity
* USB 2.0 HS
* Micro USB
* Bluetooth 2.0 EDR

The LG Eve is a Rogers Wireless exclusive and is available for $49.99 as part of a 3-year voice and data contract.
