After writing a lot about Android and Android devices, I finally bought an Android phone. I was waiting for an affordable model here in India. Finally found my love in LG Optimus One. It came with Android 2.2 and I am waiting for the next update to 2.3, Ginger Bread.
A fast moving gadget, and fastest ever in LG’s history.
Price was 13250 when bought ( a few days after it was announced here in India
I couldn’t wait more ) it might have come done by now .. may be ?
I am in love with the android experience .. may be because I am biased but this is awesome. There are a lot of ways for you to waste time, like say the Angry Bird game ? The Talking Tom app a funny cat that repeats everything you say in a funny tone and there are a lot more.
The performance is good for its price range and processor power. Camera works good in day light, may experience issues taking photos when light is less because there is no flash. The photo in this post was taken with this phone, from Bangalore. ( uploaded to my dropbox folder from phone ) LG is doing some good promotion here.

Shhh…I want a Droid
take a pic of your phone.
Congratulations! It would be real neat if you could provide links to the Apps you mentioned or are they available via Market only? It’d be real neat to see screenshots and a video of your phone in action too. Looking forward to it!

a friend of mine had the phone and looked pretty satisfied with it. Like you, he is a fan of android and took that instead of an iphone.
Congratulations..

Hey..what could be the price now?
I want to buy this one.
Check in ebay india – one seller is selling it for 12290. When, I called him, he said, he can give it for 11500 if we operate outside ebay. Though i preferred to operate through ebay to play safe.
Here’s the link btw,
