LG has introduced LG Optimus S (Sprint)

Pros:
Pleasant form factor
Runs Android 2.2
Useful Sprint ID interface enhancements
Mobile hotspot capability
Good battery life.

Cons:
Screen resolution, CPU, and camera are a step behind the class leaders. Screen is a little small.

Bottom Line
The Optimus S is the best budget Android phone we’ve seen, a well-tuned, feature-packed touch-screen slab with all of the functionality most consumers and small business users need.

It feels comfortable in the hand, with a tapered design and a sturdy soft touch finish in a pleasant slate gray color. Sharp silver accent lines grace the top edge and sides. The 3.2-inch glass capacitive touch screen LCD has 320-by-480-pixel resolution, which is still common for Android. The panel itself is a little small, but it was sufficiently bright, vivid, and responsive to touches.

Voice quality was very good overall. Otherwise, this is a high-quality Android smartphone. The Optimus S syncs Microsoft Exchange e-mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as other popular e-mail accounts.

Google Maps Navigation delivers voice-enabled, turn-by-turn GPS directions for free. The LG Optimus S is an easy pick for a budget, feature-packed smartphone on Sprint. It won’t become outdated quickly, it’s well-tuned out of the box, and it offers plenty of high-end functionality.
