Online, May 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The LG Optimus U from US Cellular is an entry level phone, yet has an incredible amount of features, so you definitely get more than you pay for. Inside is a 600MMHz Qualcomm MSM7627 processor, 170MB of ROM and 512MB of RAM. The 3.2-inch LCD 320x480 pixel resolution display has vivid colors and crisp text and the touch response is quick and accurate. Because it has Android 2.2 installed, apps launch quickly and run smoothly with minimal lag time. This also means users can save apps straight to the memory card, so they don't need to worry about filling up the 172MB of internal space too quickly. LG added a 2GB external card, and the external memory slot can support up to a 32GB memory card. For users looking for a pure Android experience, neither LG or US Cellular added much over the user interface.
Along with the standard Android digital keyboard, the Optimus U includes SWYPE. The WebKit browser is highly rated and because Android 2.2 supports Adobe Flash, web pages load efficiently. The body of the phone is 4.47 by 2.32 by .52 inches and has a great looking sleek, soft touch finish. Other features that set this phone apart from the other entry-level smart phone include tethering, mobile hotspot, and incredibly long battery life, as well as Wi-Fi, GPS, stereo Bluetooth 2.1, and 3G. The 3.2 megapixel camera does not have a flash, but still takes great pictures as long as the area has light. The video capture is also very good. For a low-budget phone, the LG Optimus U has enough features to impress your friends with high end phones.
We recommend having signal booster so you're always in reach. The Wilson plug-and-play Sleek helps users reduce LG Optimus U dropped calls, increase LG Optimus U data rates in weak signal areas and originate LG Optimus U calls from those dreaded "dead spots". The Sleek and its external vehicular antenna increases any phone's output power to the cell site while improving its ability to hear signals it normally cannot, keeping the user more reliably connected. Designed for simple set up, the Sleek™ can be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Built into the Sleek™ cradle is a Wilson tried and tested bi-directional signal amplifier and battery charging port. The cradle is ideal for hands free operation in conjunction with a LG Optimus U user's headset or Bluetooth device.
