UK network Orange has finally launched that LG Optimus Android phone it’s been teasing us with for months, with the entry level Android phone now available direct through the network on numerous contracts.
For demonstration purposes, we’ve put the Optimus in our shopping basket with Orange’s Dolphin 25 tariff, which gives you 300 minutes and 500MB of “internet” for a decent £22.50 per month – along with the phone itself for “free”.
And if you’re anti-social and would like to pay a little less, the LG Optimus is also available on a Dolphin 20 tariff with only 100 minutes – for £20 per month. It’s got a 3″ screen. It’d do the job.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
