That certainly didn’t take too long, especially when we first spotted it on Best Buy’s web site a few days ago, but Virgin Mobile is finally announcing the follow up to their popular LG Optimus V Android smartphone.
Starting on October 17th, Virgin Mobile customers will have the opportunity of picking up the QWERTY packing LG Optimus Slider for $199.99 no-contract though their web site. However, it’s expected to become available through various retail channels starting on October 31st. Considering that it’s a prepaid Android powered smartphone and all, its $199.99 pricing is undoubtedly competitive – something that’s more in the line of a post-paid handset.
Even though we’re still left wondering what kind of processor it’s packing under the hood, Virgin Mobile confirms that the LG Optimus Slider features a 3.2” touchscreen, landscape style QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 3.0, and a microSD card slot. Additionally, this Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset is going to be preloaded with Virgin Mobile Live 2.0, which is their unique spin on the whole social media thing.
