LG Optimus One P500 review: One and a half

06 December 2010
The LG Optimus One may not be your average killer gadget, but it sports a tempting pricetag, solid build, a nice looking set of features and Android 2.2 Froyo. And with the Optimus One in your hand, you are free to mock and tease those...

        The review says that due to the low processor speed the browser doesn't support Flash.
        My question is, If the phone is rooted and the CPU is clocked to a higher speed (say 700 mhz), will the browser support flash then?
        Thanks in Advance.

              Review mistakes:
              01. SD Card is not under the battery, rather its on top
              02. The forth button in the notifications bar is not to toggle the airplane mode but to toggle the data package ON/OFF.

              GSMArena pls correct your mistakes :)

                    How come the HTC Wildfire wasn't included as an alternative for the Optimus One, just because of the QVGA screen and the slightly slower CPU?

                          was looking at this phone before deciding on buying the motorola defy which trounces it in most areas except eclair vs froyo. Still its a great addition to the budget android ranges

                            You really need to do a review of the Orange San Franciso (ZTE Blade). It's basically the same spec as this but with a 800 x 480 res screen, 512 MB RAM and android 2.1 (but there are 2.2 ROMs out there) and all for £99.
