The LG Neon, though not the most successful phone to launch on Rogers (or Fido for that matter) was always the go-to phone for consumers looking for a discounted full QWERTY/Touchscreen device.

Just over a year since its launch comes the second generation of the device: The Neon2, refreshed with a few minor changes from its predecessor. A new 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display with a resolution of 240×400 (was a 2.4-inch display with the first Neon), increased support for expandable memory to 8GB (instead of the previous 4), and a bit heavier at 122 grams from its former 109 gram self.

The device is priced at a very reasonable $19.99 on a 3 year term or $174.99 outright, and don’t be surprised if it drops to $0 during back-to-school promotions set to launch in the coming weeks.
