"T-Mobile has a plethora of top-notch Android smartphones which are already being sold through various channels and there are some more attractions to arrive. One of those upcoming attractions is the LG Optimus T, though it does not belong to the top-notch lineage we are accustomed to seeing from this big-time US carrier.

Ironically, Optimus T takes the cake for being the cheapest Android OS powered cellphone being sold by T-Mobile in the US. It may ‘also' be the cheapest Android handsets to have ever arrived in the market, if not the cheapest already..."
