LG Optimus One

The LG Optimus One feels like a better device than LG's GT-540 Optimus. We prefer the design and we like that the buttons are to the point, unlike the Huawei Ideos, which goes a little overboard on controls.
Pros:
  • LG's tinkering isn't too aggressive
  • Android 2.2
  • smartphone features at an affordable price
Cons:
  • Low resolution display
  • camera performance isn't anything to get excited about
  • flex in the display centre means the capacitive display behaves more like a resistive one

  • 2.2
  • Responsive capacitive touchscreen
  • Cheap
  • Packed with smart-phone features
Cons:
  • Low-resolution screen
  • Ugly LG software icons
