Well, that wasn't that long of a wait, was it? Rogers has just released the LG (KM555) Shine Touch. It's available on their website here for $49.99 on a 3-year contract, $99.99 on a 2-year contract, $199.99 on a 1-year contract, and $249.99 contract-free. This handset will be coming with a 2GB microSD card in the box and even a Bluetooth headset which is great news. The phone itself packs a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a 3MP camera with video capabilities, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot, and an FM radio.

We just heard that Telus is planning to launch the LG KM555 Shine Touch, but Rogers has just confirmed that they'll be launching it as well. It'll be available from them for $49.99 on a 3-year contract, $99.99 on a 2-year contract, $199.99 on a 1-year contract, and $249.99 contract-free. This handset won't pack a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which is a let down, but it still packs a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 3MP camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, a microSD card slot, and an FM radio. It'll be launching very soon.

It looks like LG has just released a new touchscreen handset. The LG KM555e is now available in Russia for 9,990 rubies which is about $329 USD. This handset features a 3-inch touchscreen WQVGA display, a 3.2MP camera, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and a Stereo FM radio with RDS support. And yes, you'll be able to play your music (and the radio) on the built-in Dolby Mobile technology on-board.

By the way, this phone should be hitting Canada's Rogers in the near future.

It looks like Rogers is looking to launch a couple more phones in the future and they'll be priced under $50 on a 3-year contract which is great news. All three of these mid-end handsets should be launching soon. From left to right we have the Samsung CorbyPRO (B5310), the LG KM555, and the LG Pop (GD510).

The CorbyPRO features a 2.8-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 3MP camera with video capabilities, WiFi / GPS support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot.

The LG KM555 features a 3-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a 3.2MP camera with video capabilities, 40MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1 + A2DP support, and a Stereo FM radio with RDS support.
