LG Optimus One P500 review: LG Optimus One P500
The LG Optimus One is a sturdy if not entirely thrilling budget Android handset that includes some useful features and a pleasant user experience. 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 may well be the best budget Android smartphone on the Australian market. A responsive capacitive touchscreen and the latest version of the Android OS combined with decent physical hardware make it great value for money.
Pros:
- Low price
- Good screen and design
- Latest version of Android
Cons:
- Thin volume keys
- No Flash support
- Mediocre camera

The screen is surrounded by a lot of dead space, save for the required Menu, Home and Back buttons, and an extra zoom button...

Cons:
- Optimus software unnecessary
