Toward the end of last month, we passed along the word that the LG Optimus F3 was making its way to Sprint. Well, the journey is almost over as Sprint has announced on Thursday that the handset will be available online or through 1-800-SPRINT1 starting June 14th. The LG Optimus F3 will be in stores later this summer. The nation's third largest carrier will offer the device for $29.99 with a mail-in $50 rebate, and a signed two-year contract.
For that price, you're getting a 4 inch display with 480 x 800 resolution (WVGA), and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor. The Korean based manufacturer stuffed a 2460mAh cell into the device which should allow for all-day use (are you reading this, HTC?) Android 4.1.2 is pre-installed. Buyers will have two color options, silver and purple.
The LG Optimus F3 also is the first first phone to come with TalkBack which is a text to speech feature from Google that helps those with some impairment to their vision use the device more easily. It also helps with the activation and setup process. The phone also supports the 90 Sprint ID Packs that are currently available.
