Great phone I do recommend it battery does sux sometimes it just depends on how much u use ur phone but over all its a gd phone I got mines from boostmobile
My biggest gripes about this phone is that it freezes up during calls and it doesn't notify me of text messages. My Optimus S worked better than this thing.
Maybe if you didn't waste time blabbering about useless stuff you could have covered more things in reference to the phone that people would like to know about...
2nd if i do get it first thing i am going do is find a way of getting the LG Optimus Black back cover because the one it has right now looks like shit as well as a finger print magnet.
I don't think I would get other phone of LG product. I have LG t-mobile g2x, and it's tons of lags and I can't skip to pull the battery out for reboot. :/
"1540 mAh that's a 4" display, so im assuming battery will be pretty decent", slight amount of lag" , sir that doesnt really help us much. mr. phonedog reviewed so many phones so far, one would assume mr.phone expert could provide us with slightly educated incite. starting with a 1 ghz single core OMAP 3630 soc, 4" lg's newish NOVA display, 3g, 1540 mAh capacity equals ?hrs of continues data usage.
I'm sincerely disappointed in the designers of the phones today. Literally every phone looks the same, basic 4 illuminated, touch-sensitive buttons at the bottom, 4-4.5" touchscreen, no keyboard. Am I the only one that wants a high-end android with a keyboard?
@mooseboykyle Well, you see, I have friends in foreign countries, and a friend here who is from France. So I would like to speak French with them, but having a virtual keyboard that tends to correct foriegn words into English words makes that very difficult, but I completely hate the Backflip, which I currently have and hate very much.
@franklongbottom1632 are you on at&t? well i know at&t doesnt have too many slider phones, but the sharp fx is slightly better than the backflip, idk if youd want that though :/ and tmobile has the mytouch 4g slider and some nice specs, other than that, your right theres not too many :/
@Jqxv Yeah, I don't really want the sharp fx because I haven't heard too many good things about it. I was thinking about waiting until the Atrix 2 or something down the road. ATT has literally no good phones. At all.
americans may get the optimus black later, but at least yours comes with gingerbread. we international users have been waiting for ALMOST HALF A YEAR for the 2.3 update.
why bother labeling the box with "Android 2.2, upgradable to 2.3" when the update isn't going to come out for another year
@d1789 how is this phone being on sprint a major fail? And how is this phone being on virgin mobile a major win? Apparently you don't know that sprint bought virgin mobile usa so technically this phone IS on virgin mobile for the US. So you're a fail for not getting your info straight.
@uchihaevil2 no I'm quite aware that vm is a sub-division of sprint...that's why i stated vm as opposed to tracfone or something... the whole point was that it needs to be on their prepaid network (virginmobile) instead of their contract network (sprint) that's the best i can explain myself ...
Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Black. No contract = Great midrange phone. Actually the best (off contract that is) Can't wait to get a White LG Optimus Black.
@PrinceT300 lls i don't think sprint is bad at all... i just believe the phone would sell better and be the king of the hill on their prepaid network(vm) instead of it being the bottom of the crop on a network with epic 4g touches, photons, and evo 3ds !!! u feel me ?
@PS3rocksmysocksoff right, but that's the whole point... i'm wondering why sprint didn't move this to vm...it's useless to have this on a contract when u got the big boys like the gs 2, evo 3d, etc... and they even have their budget 4g conquer phone, so this was pointless to me on their part
@knivesandtoys23 well technically and officially it's on sprint right now, but they need to pull one of them numbers like they did with the optimus s and port it over to virgin
@d1789 i dont know about you but where i live ive had verizon wireless, at&t, t-mobile, sprint and so far sprint was the one with the best reception. i know their prices are a bit stiff but i didnt complained about signal strength
