Metro PCS Launches LG Optimus M as First Android Phone
Metro PCS is joining the crowd unleashing the LG Optimus One with their first ever Android handset, the Optimus M. For their first go around, they will be offering the LG Optimus M starting November 24th for a whopping $230, a price that might make you cringe compared to the phone going subsidized on the major carriers for prices as low as $30. But for that price you get to go contract-free on a $50 unlimited plan.
The Optimus One series has been selling like hotcakes, according to LG. You get Android 2.2 packed into some serviceable (though not spectacular by any stretch) hardware, and the strategy looks like it’s paying off.
