LG P500 Optimus One – Right for the Price
Android devices are becoming really affordable these days and the choices are getting harder to make all the time. But a low price tag doesn't mean you'll always get the best functionality for your buck.

LG Optimus One in-depth review -
Smartphones no longer require a fat wad of cash in exchange for snazzy email, web and app features. LG has always been one of the most prolific purveyors of budget to mid-range smartphones, and the Android-powered Optimus One is one of its most capable – and it clocks in at free from ￡20 per month,...
Pros:
- Great lineup of sat-nav features including voice control and directions
- excellent email and especially Gmail
- good value for money
Cons:
- Low-res screen makes webpages look worse than other Android devices
- some clunky software
- design is pretty average veering on low-rent

Great LG phone
I am extremely pleased with my LG P500 - and here's why: Well built and designed unit - there's nothing funky-ass or trendy about the design. Everything is exactly where it should be and made of the right kind of material.

I've had the Optimus One for over a year now.. I'm still running Froyo on the device. It's a great budget phone for 10k. Screen is great, touch is very smooth. Battery lasts a little more than a day but thats how all smartphones are. Looks aren't too great, basic apps run smoothly.

"LG P500 or Optimus One Review - After 1yr+ usage."
After a whole lot of research on android phones, I finally decided to go for the Optimus One last May (May 2011). Back then, there was not much to choose from in the $200 budget. So this phone seemed to me as the best bet back then, and I'm very satisfied with it even now!
Pros:
- 3G
- good battery
- vibrant screen
- good camera
- compatibility
Cons:
- Lack of a front facing camera
- lack of flash

Overall, good budget smartphone for the price, just beware if you want to play games, this phone has a sluggish processor and little internal memory.
Pros:
- Unique design: physical keys mean less accidental "go homes"
- soft touch finish on back
- metal under battery cover
- Features: 3.2 inch touch screen is bright and colourful
- speakers were at the least
- audible
- camera takes good pics for the price
- Android 2.3 update brings more colour to the lack
Cons:
- Sluggish processor
- no Flash
- no HD vidoe recording
- wish battery life was a bit longer
- no Camera Flash
- not upgradeale to 4.0 or 4.1
- very little internal memory

Good first mobile. If you want a simple android handset that fits in your pocket is this good. Are you looking for good camera or big screen so do not choose this. I enjoyed it but me during the time I owned it.

LG Optimus One P500 review Review
The LG Optimus One P500 smart phone packs plenty of punch, offering all the joys of Android 2.2 at a rock-bottom price. We just wish LG's tweaks to Android didn't look so clumsy.
Pros:
- Runs the latest version of Android
- 2.2
- Responsive capacitive touchscreen
- Cheap
- Packed with smart-phone features
Cons:
- Low-resolution screen
- Ugly LG software icons
- Looks boring
- No Flash support

LG Optimus One review
LG's been putting out touchscreen phones for a long time, but has yet to pull off a proper success in the amazingly competitive Android scene. Its Optimus GT540 was a poor attempt at making a stylish and original phone, and ultimately ruined by a terrible resistive touchscreen.
