Here are some unboxing pictures and a video of the LG Optimus One (P500) which landed at the FoneArena HQ earlier this week. LG calls this device a transitional smartphone and it packs a 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen , is powered by 600MHz processor along with a 1500mAh battery. It sports a 3 MP Camera on the back. Since it runs on FroYo out of the box you can use the phone as a WiFi hotspot.

The browser is pretty fast and and voice search works pretty well. LG has done minor customization to the Android UI. The hardware is mostly plastic with a metal rim in the middle. It feels solid and actually a bit heavy.There are 4 keys below the screen and the home and back key get some special treatment.
The handset is available for free in UK with a contract and under 250 pounds for outright purchase. It will be available in Asia soon. While the price for India has not been revealed , we expect this handset to cost around Rs.16000-17000 ! It’s available on T-Mobile USA as the Optimus-T
