April 18th, 2008iPhone substitute coming to Rogers
Rogers has announced they will be launching LG’s fullscreen touch device the “VU”. Does this mean the iPhone doesn’t cometh if Rogers is launching this otherother white meat of touch-screen phone? The Vu is basically a North American version of last year’s “Prada” model phone in Europe. I guess the fashion branding would be lost on us un-sophisticates across the pond. The Prada phone was basically LG’s hasty iFauxne response to apple’s announcement of their device. At some point, we’ll see something like this from nokia too.
It aint’ no iPhone, but the device does have a few extra tricks up it’s sleeve including full HTML browser, fast HSDPA radio, and SD card support, and mobile TV features. Does this mean we can forget about the iPhone on Rogers?
Not necessarily. AT&T the only other North American carrier with the VU also has the iPhone.
