Official: LG Optimus G for AT&T launches November 2nd, pre-orders start Tuesday

Are you planning on switching to AT&T or burning an upgrade on the LG Optimus G? We've got some very good news for you. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, you can reserve your unit and pre-order what has become one of the most talked about handsets post Apple iPhone 5. The LG Optimus G was created by the Korean manufacturer with the goal of competing against Apple's iconic smartphone and the sizzling hot Samsung Galaxy S III. Despite all the features that LG could shoehorn into the phone, the device will be priced at $199.99 with a signed two-year contract.

With the quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 APQ8064 and 2GB of RAM, you can imagine how fast the LG Optimus G runs. Among the features, Q Slide lets you run two apps at the same time using a split screen effect. The phone will be in AT&T stores starting November 2nd. We do need to point out that the version of the phone available from AT&T has an 8MP shooter instead of the 13MP sensor on other variants of the device.

The LG Optimus G is certainly the manufacturer's most powerful smartphone to date and starting tomorrow you can make sure you will have one put aside just for you at AT&T.
