Although the LG Eclypse has been tipped for Bell two days ago, there were no actual details about the phone's exact release date or price tag.

Fortunately, the folks over at MobileSyrup found out that the smartphone will be launched at Bell Canada on December 2, though the phone's price is still unknown.

According to Bell's internal memo leaked recently, the LG Eclypse is targeted at those who want to replace their messaging phones, such as the LG Rumor.

The LG Eclypse is more than capable to replace any basic messaging phone, as it comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and a large 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display.

The slider is equipped with a 1 GHz single core processor and packs both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options.
