The messaging side of the Optimus is pretty good, which is surprising as most LG's fail to perform well in this field, the Optimus comes with full e-mail integration and is well covered in the IM department, the onscreen keyboard has well sized keys and the unique form of the chassis makes for pleasant handling when typing.
The web browser is supported by good 3G network coverage and high speed Wi Fi technology, so you can rely on getting a good web connection from the Optimus.
LG have also given the device an expandable memory with up to 32GB comfortably handled by the microSD slot.

LG have successfully shelled out a number of low price mobile phones, but this is only there second attempt at an Android Smartphone with the InTouchMax being there first, so have LG succeeded in making that leap into the Android generation or have they missed the mark entirely?
