Worst phone ever

Hangs like anything (with only 25% of the SD card filled) Material looks cheap to me the moment you go to a service centre, they will say water logging which I know is completely false but I cant prove as I am not a technical guy.
Pros:
  • Gmail integration
Cons:
  • Too many!

  • small
  • slim and sturdy
Cons:

LG Optimus One P500

Android's "Froyo" update is making its slow, inexorable march across the handsets of the globe, and it's now appearing on new devices as the default operating system. After the hash that was the manual Telstra update this is definitely a plus.
Pros:
  • Decent touchscreen
  • Responsive
  • Android 2.2 on-board
  • Bundled turn-by-turn GPS
  • Mechanical menu buttons
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • Lacks the "wow" factor
  • VGA video capture
  • Gaming is hit and miss
  • Earpiece is noisy

The LG Optimus One is an inexpensive mid-range phone that runs on Android 2.2 and is being sold as an all-in-one sat-nav/phone device. We took it for a spin to see how it fared as a navigator and see what else it has to offer. Finding your way around the LG Optimus One is a piece of cake.

LG Optimus One review

LG's latest Android handset, the Optimus One, follows on from the original Optimus GT540, which at the time of review was far too expensive and ran an out-of-date version of Android.

"Review: Can LG's Budget Android Offering Beat Off Killer Competition?"

With Android phones now flooding the market, a budget option is not too difficult to find. LG's Optimus One P500 is a sturdy offering that now comes with Android's Froyo update pre-installed, but does it make it a good enough deal to compete with the likes of HTC's Wildfire?
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Full range of Android features
  • Tidy design
  • Large battery
Cons:
  • Soft plastic screen
  • Can be a bit slow at times
  • Lowish resolution screen

I would recommend it!

I got this phone free through signing up for a 24 month contract with 3 about 10 months ago so I was keen to pick a phone which would last that long. I have a 3G internet plan and I am a frequent user of my phone for calling and texting throughout the day.

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