Here’s the LG Shine Touch. It’s a touch screen device with a 3″ 400×240 display, 3 megapixel camera and WiFi. The back has a metalic finish which reminds me of the original LG Shine.
It’s available on Rogers now.

The Samsung Galaxy Spica (it’s pronounced speak-ah (I hope Samsung doesn’t try to sell this one in Mexico)).
It’s similar to the Samsung Galaxy I reviewed a while back but it adds a 800Mhz Samsung processor (up from a 528Mhz Qualcomm) plus if I remember correctly the Spica will get a Android 2.1 upgrade eventually. The Spica lacks the original Galaxy’s 5 megapixel camera and has 2GB instead of 8GB of built in memory.
It’s 79.99 on a 3 year voice and data plan.

Last year Android wise Canadians got to choose from the HTC Dream, Magic and Samsung Galaxy. This year we’re got/are getting the Motorola Milestone, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and now the Acer Liquid.
The Acer Liquid has a 3.5″ WVGA (800×480) display, Snapdragon process that runs at 768Mhz (as opposed to 1Ghz on the X10 and Nexus One), 5 megapixel camera with no flash and runs Android 2.1.
Look for it Q1 this year. Pricing has yet to be announced.

A while back Rogers noticed some HowardForums members complaints about WhoCalled:

Well it turns out they were listening. Rogers has made 3 changes to WhoCalled:
First and most importantly you’ll only get notified if you were out of service when you received the calls. That means no more notifications when you ignore a call from a telemarketer/private number.
Secondly the WhoCalled message now has the number and time on one line
Thirdly now you can call the number you missed from the text message.

Just got an email from HTC saying that the HTC Magic and Dream on Rogers will both get upgrades which add the HTC Sense user interface. This upgrade will keep Android at version 1.5
Later this year the HTC Magic (NOT the Dream) will get another upgrade which will bring Android up to version 2.1.
