T-Mobile’s announcing that they’ll be carrying the budget-priced LG Optimus T to bring a middle-of-the-road Android experience for a very affordable price. It comes with a 3.2-inch touchscreen with Swype, a 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, and Android 2.2. From the looks of things it’s almost the exact same device as the LG Optimus S for Sprint (save for Sprint ID, and the T will have LG’s custom launcher) – which we’ll have video of shortly – and if that’s the case it won’t disappoint for the price. Read on for full press details.
