, the LG Optimus 2X is finally available in the States courtesy of T-Mobile, who is dubbing it the T-Mobile G2x. At $250 less a $50 mail-in-rebate, the phone is largely in-line with the pricing for other flagship devices, and with all that horsepower inside, seems fairly reasonable.
A quick rundown of the specs:
- 1 GHz dual core Tegra 2 processor
- 4-inch display
- Android 2.2 with plans to upgrade to Android 2.3
- 8 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera
- HSPA+ (T-Mobile 4G)
- HDMI
- 1080p video playback
- 1,500 mAh battery
- microSD card slot
You may remember that prior reviews found the hardware to be excellent but found some shortcomings in the software; hopefully LG and T-Mobile have managed to make some improvements on that front in the past two months.
The phone can be pre-ordered on contract via the website or over the phone. If you'd like to order it off-contract, however, you need to call after 10 A.M. PST (1 P.M. EST) today. Otherwise, the phone will be a web exclusive until 4/19, and orders will begin shipping on 4/20.
