We’ve already covered LG’s two new mid-range Android smartphones – Optimus Pro and Optimus Net. If you recall, we said both will be pretty affordable and most likely sell like hot cupcakes on a cold winter day. Heck we even said the Optimus Net will supersede the popular Optimus One model and in that sense end-up in carriers’ portfolios all around the world.
However, there’s one thing we haven’t told you. LG’s official press release also mentions NFC capabilities these two devices will get in select markets. Unfortunately the Korean company doesn’t reveal which markets are those, but I guess it’s safe to bet we’re talking about North America and few countries of Western Europe.
Google on its end will undoubtedly promote contactless payments in the months to come with the Optimus Pro and Optimus Net helping the search giant bring compatible devices to more users. We’ll definitely follow where this goes and let you know as soon as something new comes up. Stay tuned…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
