Rogers has just launched three new handsets in the LG Secret, Samsung Gravity and Samsung Propel. Starting off with what is arguably the pick of the pack, the LG Secret has a 2.4″ QVGA touchscreen display, 5 megapixel camera with AF and 30 fps video recording, accelerometer and dual-band HSDPA connectivity. When it arrives in shops it will go for $249.99 on a 3-year or $149.99 on a 3-year when the $7 unlimited browsing or $15 and up value packs are added (old tricks, eh Rogers?). Moving on to the QWERTY handsets, there really isn’t too much there – though we suppose the Propel will find a nice home where a BlackBerry is just too pricey. A 2.2″ 220×176 display, 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD, stereo Bluetooth and dual-band HSDPA make for a pretty decent package at $49.99 for three years. As for the Gravity, it really has nothing but some QWERTY action going for it, what with its quad-band EDGE, 176×220 display, 1.3 megapixel camera and microSD slot. It’ll run you $29.99 with a 3-year contract, but wow… Can you imagine signing a legal document over this thing?

    i cant get over the fact that other countries require 3YEAR contracts!!! i get pissed off with 2 years!! why do they make them so long when the average life of a cellphone is 18 months??

    @alex- i know what you mean thats kind of a rip off. Over seas in europe and asia they have 18 month contracts while in the US we have 2 years. If they’re forcing you to buy the phones with a 3 year contract, the phones should be much cheaper (as in free or with a good deal) and include a bundle of accesories.

    You get 2 and 3 year contracts so when your phone dies at the 18 month mark or 2 year mark you can get a new one to keep you locked in to the carrier. There is no secret on this.

    Im sorry but 3 years is just WOW. I get a new phone once every year. Can you imagine it being 2011 and your still using some old ass HTC Touch Pro?!

    I remember the good ol’ days when I signed my one year contract with VoiceStream in 2001 & a top of the line (business class) phone was $125 at that.
    By the next time around it had become T-Mobile & 2 year was the norm. Terms doubled & so did phone cost. The “rate of inflation” in the mobile market is pretty effin recockulous.
