T-Mobile Introduces The LG Optimus T: Android Babysteps

Last Updated: November 3rd, 2010

Although the name may be reminiscent of Optimus Prime, this phone might not live up to the most powerful Autobot. Think of the Optimus T as an Android feature phone with the stats of a mid-range device.

It comes packed with the following specs:

Android 2.2 FroYo
3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen
3.2MP Camera (no Flash - what is this, 2005?)
Wifi (includes Mobile Hotspot Option)
GPS
Bluetooth

The Optimus T appears to be the exact opposite of what most people are expecting to see from handset manufacturers: a starter phone. Most of you who are reading this blog are probably hoping to see the latest and greatest in Android handsets, but LG is aiming at the users who are on the fence about Android.
