It seems that the Optimus One has launched in the US. Any idea when it is going to launch in Malaysia?

Some early reviews:

I think this is a Sprint-branded Optimus One:

Was looking at i5500 but a bit let down with the 2.8" screen.

Now this phone does look like a decent phone to me, at least a better buy than Wildfire wink.gif

Wonder how "good" is the UI compared to Sense though....
*
From techcentral's review, it seems it is kinda "stock-ish". Not much customization like Sense.

http://www.mudah.my/Brand+New+LG+P500+Optimus+1-7643045.htm
but i wonder why the price is way too high..is the RRP is really RM899?
*
yes... even the review in Sinchew also said below RM900... one of the cons seems to be the weak battery and also the software update will require u to install the LG update suite in ur pc.

Email From LG today :

23/11/2010 
     
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics 
     
 

Dear valued Mr./Ms. ,

Refer to your inquiry, the LG Optimus One P500 is already launched in Malaysia market last week. But the stock distribution should be only available nationwide within a week time. But in order for convenient, I attached the dealer list in Klang Valley for your reference. Meanwhile the Optimus Chic is not yet launch in Malaysia and on market research progress. I wish to thank for your inquiry and interest on LG product.

Thanks
LG Service
--------------------------------------------

so next week it will hit the shop. go get it

Can attach the dealer list here?

it looks a bit plastic compare to wildfire or the glossy look aria

I think the build quality probably not as good as HTC's or SE's Xperia X8 (similar spec, smaller screen)

Guys!!!

I found out from a LG shop in Sunway Pyramid that the Optimus ONE is coming around 20th of December and is below RM1000. So the RM899 retail price tag could be true afteralll.

wa... still need to wait for 2 weeks? sweat.gif

Just found out LG O1 is actually made in Korea. And upon purchasing your phone, reseller will send a sms to LG to register. In turn, you will get extra 1 mth warranty.
*
How do I know that I get the extra warranty? I only knew this after reading the manual... and I didn't see the shop send the sms shakehead.gif

any nice phone cover for o1?

when i got mine from bluecube they did not send out any sms - the extra warranty is stated on the LG box - how do i go about doing tis me self?
*
Did insert the simcard yourself? According to the manual, it should send out the SMS once a sim card is inserted for the first time.
