The LG Eve is in store at Crazy John’s, but not yet on the shelf. So keep on the lookout for it in the next few days.

The Eve is a low-end Android Device running Android 1.5 with a 528MHz CPU, 3″ Resistive ~~Capacitive~~ Touchscreen & 5MP Camera w/ Flash.

Our tipster said that it will be available for $299 on a prepaid bundle!

Thanks Jackie.

  Buzz. That sounds like a HTC Magic beefed up with a 5MP Camera and a QWERTY Keyboard

Should get one of these to try the unoffical OS’s on before putting them on my HTC Magic. Dont want to risk my everyday phone

$299?! that is quite cheap for a qwerty android…
anyone know if it is locked to the network or not?

Btw, the screen is resistive, NOT capacitive…

  My mistake. Well now it’s a completely useless device, to be honest..
Dave

The phone has terrible reviews and seems to have equal support

  Support seems ok, i contacted LG and they told me there would be an update to 1.6 available, for $299 prepaid qwerty android it’s great. It ain’t no Desire but from what i can see it’s pretty much the same as DEXT at prepaid pricing?

    Wow! An update to 1.6! *yawn*

    My HTC Magic even has 1.6 before the LG Eve does
