LG announced that its L-Series of affordable smartphones has crossed the 10 million sales mark. The series includes 4 devices, three of which have been announced in February at Mobile World Congress (Optimus L3, L5 and L7); and Optimus L9 which was unveiled later in the year.
The Korean company admits this is a “modest milestone” since its arch-rival Samsung managed to move 30 million Galaxy S III units and is well on the way to hit the 10 million figure for its phablet, Galaxy Note II.
LG L-Series smartphones are available in more than 50 countries around the world, targeting low- to mid-end of the market. The cheapest of the pack, L3, comes with a QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen, whereas the best model, L9, has a qHD one (540×960 pixels).

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.
