Back in January we were told the LG Optimus Black was going to launch in May, evidently that did not happen. A few rumours and leaks later, we can finally say the Optimus Black has launched over at Vodafone. The device is available on Voda’s lowest cap ($0 on $29) which includes $180 of credit, 200MB of data, unlimited Voda-to-Voda and free access to Social Procrastination Networks. Specs of the device are pretty nice as well:

  • 4″ (800×480) NOVA IPS LCD – Extra bright at 700nit
  • 1GHz TI OMAP3 CPU
  • Android 2.2
  • 5MP Camera (720p video recording) / 2MP Front-facing
  • 9.2mm thin

It looks good on paper, but whether it works well in your everyday use is another question. As always we’ll be on the lookout for a review unit.
