Great entry-level prepaid smartphone

johnthebreeze has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I actually bought this phone used on eBay and unlocked it to work on AT&T's GoPhone service (which works best for me in my areas). I chose this over AT&T's own Thrive which lacks Swype (which I enjoy using). Having been a long-time user of "dumbphones" I enjoyed the call quality of the Optimus T.

Sure there are probably multitudes of better smartphones out there that'll get you more bang for your buck ... but I was satisfied with this phone based on price and what I needed it to do. The battery life and camera quality on this phone are about average with similar priced androids and the user interface speed is fairly good ... now if only these would come sans bloatware I think we'd be fine.

If you're looking for a good android but don't wanna spend too much give this one a try.

Would buy again.... nearly 9 months later

Happy_Clam has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I purchased this phone for full sticker price ($240) 1 week after its release and now that it's selling for ~$150, if I dropped it in the toilet I'd buy another one.
All issues I had with the phone were T-Mobiles fault. They made a mess of ROM included. If I didn't know about the Optimus One roms available I'd likely be an unhappy customer. Then again all American carriers take the liberty of crapping on Android phones with their demoware and backdoors... err "update channels??"

In the end this is the best bang for the buck even today.

Note - my ratings are relative to an Android device in this price range. It's rated high not because I think it's as good as a Tegra dual core device but because you simply can't get better for the price

Build quality 9/10 The plastic screen isn't that bad and though the case is a rubberized plastic it's fairly durable

Optimus T Revised

AlphaZuluBravo has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

It's a good phone, unless you plan on using to browse the web, or watch movies, or do anything that remotely requires a fast processor because this phone cannot handle it. I love the Android operating system, but it needs much better hardware to run Android smoother. A couple times a day it'll just choose to restart and it either becomes non-responsive with the screen on or just black. So I have to take out the battery and restart it. But there are some things this is good at, it can take pictures, listen to music and use most Android apps well and the battery is pretty good too. But overall, do not get the phone unless you really have to or can tolerate restarting multiple times a day.

Great phone.

Had this phone for 2 weeks now and im loving it! Its a good speed good camera good features good mostly everything. I watched phone arena's video review about this phone and I kinda doubt what he said cause this phone is great. I think it should be like $50 thats what it should be worth cause it gives you more then $30. This phone is just great i made a good choice. :-)

Optimus T

AlphaZuluBravo has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

Pretty good phone overall, though it's processor is pretty slow. I love the Android operating system. The only bad part is I think the processor is way too slow, once a day the phone will become unresponsive then I either have to take out the battery and restart it or wait for it to do whatever.

Build quality 8/10 Feels solid and I like the texture of the plastic.

Reception 6/10 It's T-Mobile so I don't get great reception indoors but outside it's pretty good. (Orange County)

Call quality 8/10 Sounds good, no problems.

Internet 7/10 I only use it on wifi but it works fairly well, thought using the swype keyboard is kinda sketchy sometimes.

Multimedia 8/10 I listen to music all the time on it and it works pretty good.

Camera 6/10 A fairly decent camera, it's only 3.2 mp so don't expect much.

UI speed 4/10 Sometimes it works but alot of times it's choppy because this phone only has a 600 mHz processor.

Everyday usage 7/10 It's great when it's not too bogged down with processes.

Text input 7/10 It's really great but again it's not so that good if there's a lot going on.

Display 7/10 Not exceptional but it's bright enough to be well seen in daylight but works great indoors on the lowest setting.

Battery 7/10 Pretty good, it lasts almost all day with moderate use.

Pros

• Battery
• Operating Systen
• Keyboard

Cons

• Processor

great phone great value just needed a basic phone and it had to have android......perfect belnd of style and utilities...............good phone overall from the music player to the widgets for the home screen battery life is on point. Wish the screen was just a little bigger for texting but it just takes some getting use to........also wish it had a hard key to make and end calls but the search button does help

Cheap but good

I looked at a lot of phones and in no way can you equate a $240 phone with a phone that costs twice as much. BUT, maybe you don't need a $500 phone. For my personal needs, I need to talk on the phone, text, use Google voice actions (android 2.2), send and receive emails. That's it! I don't watch a lot of video, I don't play games with my phone, I rarely use it to surf the web (since I sit on my backside all day in front of a screen). It does exactly what I need it to do, but does not offer a lot of the cool factor toys that other phones offer.

I am OK with that.
