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..."
