LG Optimus 2X goes on sale, can be yours for $800

LG Optimus 2X shipments have just started without any fanfare. A few online retailers are already offering the smartphone so you now have your chance to experience the power of the Tegra 2. Unfortunately the asking price goes as high as $800, which is quite steep even considering the hardware inside.

Strange enough, considering their usual pratices, LG didn't issue a press release, but the Optimus 2X is already available to order at several online retailers. You can get it in USA from here or here for $800. It's a small fortune indeed, but it's also your chance of becoming one of the first users of a dual-core-packing smartphone.

Now if you aren't into paying the early adoption fee you will probably need to wait just a few weeks to get a better deal. Amazon.de has already listed the handset for €480 (availability in one to three weeks), while plenty of carriers have confirmed that they will be offering the Optimus 2X.
