LG P970 Optimus Unlocked Discount

George E. Jelly "GeorgeJ" (Heidelberg, GER): I just bought this phone (in Germany) a few days ago and would have paid less for it on Amazon. It has a gorgeous, very bright and high resolution display - so bright that I have kept it set at minimum brightness. I tested it outside today, under a partially cloudy sky - and I could clearly read the display when it was set to maximum brightness!! LG has done a surprisingly good job of customizing Android (2.2.2 for now) on it. Info on the internet indicates that LG will release Gingerbread for it in SEP 11 for those concerned about 2.3 and higher. It has lots of extra widgets and apps - like battery and cellular data usage - that you would normally have to get from the market. Excellent battery life despite the bright display - it's kinda early to tell but I've gotten two full days with normal usage. Cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity are also great - and no sound problems or dropped calls. I have two concerns with it though. First, the main part of the phone is very well built but the battery cover is too thin in my opinion - the phone itself doesn't creak or bend but it sure seems as if the back/battery cover won't take much abuse. That being said, the phone does feel solid with the battery cover locked in place. And, related to this, the battery cover is also tricky to remove so this isn't a phone that you would want to frequently swap the chips in. Last but not least, the included Euro charger is huge and it looks pure Stone Age - shame on you LG!! ***** Edited to add a couple more points: This is a small thing but a big plus in my opinion: LG modified Android to allow screen captures on the P970! All you have to do - kind of like on the iPhone - is press home and power at the same time and the screen is captured. Also - after two full days of moderate usage (easy to track battery usage in Android) it was at 42% battery remaining.

Francisco Romero:Excelente telefono, confugurado muy facil para Digitel (solo funciona en modo GSM), para Movistar y Movilnet funciona en GSM y UMTS muy rapido via WI-FI o via transferencia de datos con el proveedor. hermosa visibilidad de la pantalla bajo cualquier condicion y es la NOVA DISPLAY la que logra el milagro. Incluye una memoria de 4gb microSD HC un adaptador a SD CARD y 1gb de memoria interna. No hay mucho mas que decir de este extraordinario telefono inteligente. Compra recomendada.

Mónica C. "Mokab" (Montevideo, Uruguay) :I've been using my LG 970 Optimus Black for two months now and I simply love it! I bought it unlocked for use in Uruguay, South America. It's light and slim, very comfortable to handle and use, with an awsome display, very clear and bright, even under direct sunlight, and also very responsive to the touch. Very fast on the Internet and mail. It also takes very good pictures with or without flash, with lots of settings to personalize your shots as you wish. I've downloaded many cool applications from the Android Market, most of them free or with very low cost. The only thing I'm not completely satisfied with is battery life. With a moderate use of Internet, WiFi and 3G on only during the day, it lasts less than a day. However, after installing Juicedefender Ultimate from the Android Market, it now lasts aproximately a day and a half ... not that bad. But its excellent performance and sound quality greatly compensate for this drawback.
