LG Optimus T Reviews
Engadget "There's absolutely no doubt that the Optimus T and Optimus S offer incredible value. With nice hardware, up-to-date software, and most importantly, solid performance, there's a lot to like for both first-time Android users and smartphone aficionados on a budget."
PCmag "The Optimus S is the best budget Android phone we've seen, a well-tuned, feature-packed touch-screen slab with all of the functionality most consumers and small business users need."
CNET "The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better."
PhoneArena "LG is serious about their Android push, and the Optimus S is a very nice device." ... "We are quite impressed with this little device, and while it won’t steal sales from the EVO 4G and Epic 4G, for now it is the only other Android device we’d consider in Sprint’s lineup until the Transform gets upgraded to 2.2."
InfoSyncWorld "By now, you've probably reached your decision, which should have been a rather simple one from the beginning if we didn't come along and complicated the process with our excessive testing and analyzing. The LG Optimus T and the BlackBerry Curve 3G fall into the same price range. This places you in either the old school or new school classroom.
Brighthand "Overall the LG Optimus T is a very nice phone. You get a lot of bang for your buck on this one. It performs well, has good battery life, and is a good size for daily use. I think LG hit the sweet spot of functionality and price with this device."
Laptop Mag "Quite well equipped for a smart phone this affordable, the LG Optimus T is a great choice for bargain hunters. Its low price of $29 (free for the black version), solid design, and ease of use will appeal to smart phone newbies. The biggest competitor to the Optimus T in this price range right now is the very similar Optimus S on Sprint, which offers Sprint ID packs for customizing the phone but lacks Wi-Fi calling. If you can overlook its mediocre camera and small display--which we can do easily at this price--the Optimus T will satisfy."
MobileTechReview "If money is a scarce commodity and you want an Android smartphone, the LG Optimus is a great buy. It's no high end superphone, but it does have a decent HVGA touch screen, the latest Android OS, good performance and a solid build. And the Optimus is a definite step up from the T-Mobile Comet."
"As an avid user of smartphones, I was pleasantly surprised with the LG Optimus T. It’s a great budget Android device that feels incredibly solid and it’s built to feel like it’s much more spendy. While I was hoping to see better specs inside, this is the only way to keep the price of the phone so low up front; if you want better specs, the G2 or MyTouch 4G will be much nicer choices for you through T-Mobile."
"The LG Optimus T is about as good as it gets when you're talking about free Android-powered smartphones, which is actually a lot more than you'd expect."
