Cricket has added another Android smartphone to its portfolio – LG Optimus Regard. The low-to-mid end device has somewhat strange specs, combining a 3.5-inch HVGA (320×480 pixels) screen with 1.2GHz dual-core processor, making for a snappy phone performance (since the same CPU is usually used with WVGA screens).
In addition, the Optimus Regard also packs a 5-megapixel rear-camera with LED flash, VGA front-facing one, 1GB of RAM, 4G LTE connectivity support (alongside CDMA), Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and 8GB of built-in storage which is further expandable with microSD memory cards.
All this could be yours for $249.99 without putting your signature on any paper. Then again, you’ll still need some minutes, texts and data, and will have to select one of Cricket’s smartphone plans.
Presuming you like the LG Optimus Record you can get it from this page at Cricket’s website… or from one of their stores. It’s your call…

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.
