Do you know, the Optimus Vu will go on sale for 999,900 won i.e. ~ US$ 894 and would be available through SK Telecom and LG U+ in Korea? But we’re not yet confirmed about its worldwide release. Interesting news is LG will offer a secondary battery along with a case for the first 40,000 people i.e. 20,000 people of SK Telecom and 20,000 people of LG U+. But the condition is, it’ll be offered to those who purchase the Optimus Vu between March 8 and April 7.
The LG Optimus T is a sleek, Gemlik small phone that comes in a male-Titanium finish, or would the ladies with a touch of violet. The phone itself has rounded edges, which felt ergonomically sound in our pockets, and for the most part, LG employs a minimalist design outside. Our only buttons are menu, search, and a little oval panel found that the Home and Back buttons homes limited. A 3.5 mm audio jack and power/ lock key is rest along the top of the LG Optimus T, and a volume control on the right side. There is no camera button and the T Optimus is missing a bolt on its 3.2-megapixel camera on the back to assist.
In the thin, plastic back Luke is the 2GB MicroSD card that is delivered, and the LG Optimus T battery. You have to pry the battery up to get the T-Mobile SIM card, and what a pain in the Keiser, that is. We had to use a paper clip to the darn thing out. The good news is that the MicroSD card slot is not obstructed by the battery, and it holds up to 32GB capacity cards. All in all, the LG Optimus T is very beginner-oriented from the outside.
But on the inside, the LG T Optimus rewarded us with a highly sensitive capacitive touch screen. It is not the highest resolution, nor does the Optimus T’s screen feature any fancy AMOLED technology, as we saw on the Galaxy-S phones, but the screen resolution is a step from the Blackberry Curve 3G. Structurally, the Optimus T-screen is not glass and is not yet fully integrated into the facade of the phone, we could push the transparent plastic film a few millimeters inside. Since the screen is not glass, finger movement was not as smooth action, and we take care of scratching over time.
Though once the plastic screen was broken into, was swiping our smooth and we could concentrate on the full Android 2.2 experiences. That’s right-LG Optimus running Android 2.2, even if we do not get to take full advantage of Android 2.2 ‘s goodies. So we could not watch videos on the web browser embedded. Who’s to blame? A deficiency in the internal hardware. Like the BlackBerry Curve 3G, the LG Optimus T strictly a basic messaging, social networking and light web browsing phone. There is no interface in connection with bells and whistles. Although we can say there is not much to do to BlackBerry with Android 2.2 can tango, even if we are short staffed in a couple of interface-related features on the Optimus T version of Android 2.2.
