The LG Optimus S for Sprint was set to be released October 31, but the Sprint ID device hit a slight delay and won’t be coming until November 7. For $49.99 after a mail-in-rebate and two-year contract, you’ll get a pretty decent Android 2.2 device. Of course, if you’re new to Android, you’ll also be getting Sprint ID which bundles apps and features that might help get you started – especially if it’s your first smartphone.
Sprint reminds us of the Optimus S features and capabilities:
Sleek and slim design 3.2-inch capacitive touch-screen Virtual QWERTY keyboard Mobile Hotspot capability supporting up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices to share the 3G experience simultaneously 3.2MP camera with 2x digital zoom microSD card slot (supporting up to 32GB) Android Market™ – choose from more than 100,000 apps to personalize your phone Visual Voicemail
Keep your eyes peeled for the charcoal version of the phone on November 7, with a purple model coming two weeks after.
