HTC will be  facing new challenges from Corean manufacturer LG. Eve is their first Android based phone, targetted to social media lovers and will be available through canadian operator Rogers Mobile.

This new device features a 3″ touch screen, slide-out 5 lines Qwerty keyboard (similar to HTC’s Dream and G1),  accelerometer and top Google apps such as Maps, Latitude or Search.

And LG has also paid attention to the camera: 5 megapixels, autofocus, face detection, video capture  and LED flash are a guarantee of  high quality photographs.

LG EVe is not yet available in Europe, but in any case it’s a great step for the brand… and for Android platform, of course. Check this video for a first look.
