T-Mobile UK has made the LG Optimus Black available for purchase on its site. Even better, the handset is available for free if you sign a two-year contract that costs $41 (£26) or more.
The LG Optimus Black, which was announced back at CES 2011, features the ultra bright 700 nit NOVA Display (more info on it here) and is only 0.36-inch thin. The other highlights are its 1GHz TI OMAP 3 processor, 4-inch screen and two cameras - rear one with 5MP and a front-facer with 2MP. Sadly, the phone runs Froyo rather than Gingerbread, but that could change.
As of now, there is no information when and if we will see this device in the US.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
