lg shine slider for rogers wireless canadaHey Telus! Rogers has a message for you. We have a Shine too and ours is better.

This morning Rogers announced the upcoming release of the LG Shine Slider (TU-720) and Rogers' Chief Marketer John Boynton was quick to trump his over the competitions' calling it "LG's better looking Shine model."

The Shine Slider is a tri-band GSM unit with HSPA video-calling capabilities. It sports a stainless steel body and a scroll wheel navigation instead of the D-pad or joystick found on most phones. Other specs of note include a 2 megapixel shooter, MP3 player, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth and a large 2.2 inch display (240 x 320 pixels).

Shine Slider will make its Canadian debut October 11th at Birks Jewelers on Toronto's York street and will land in stores at the beginning of November. Pricing is not yet available but we'll keep you posted.
