ATTENTION: The processing speed is quite slow, but that's what I expected at the price of $80CDN brand new as a budget cellphone designed more for starters in software programming. Also, my ratings at 5 on this device are non-applicable in regards.

I bought this phone hoping to get away from the high priced contract phones. I'm not sorry that I went prepaid but I am sorry that I went with this phone. I don't know if poor quality internet and call quality was due to the device or the plan but it was just horrible. The phone states it is 1GHZ, but I just switched to virginmobile and their 1GHZ phone is much faster on loading apps and for the most part does what I expect it to. Would recomend this phone to my boss but wouldnt recomend it to anyone else.
My girlfrined just posted her review and told me I should review my phone as well to "warn people" away. We both bought this model phone about 6 months ago and she has had lots of issues with her devices, but I have not had as much trouble. I will say that the batter dies abnormally fast even for a smartphone- my buddies EVO 4G lasts longer with stock battery than my phone does and most know that 4G phones run through the battery. The main gripe I have is false advertising- the front camera isnt 2MP- not even close!! How do they get away with that its a 0.3MP front camera at best. The processor is 1GHZ but not a quick as a snapdragon at 1GHZ- dont really understand that but I guess not all processors are equal. The reception isnt good here lots of dropped calls that I didn't have with Optimus V (VM). Internet is spotty in 3G and GPS isnt very strong and has trouble with turn by turn directions- very laggy. The back camera takes good stills but the camcorder is low resolution. I have wifi at home so at least phone works okay when home.
I decided to give this phone the benefit of the doubt and keep it for at least 6 months now I just want rid of it. I swithched from the Optimus V on Virgin Mobile to this phone and I cant believe that an older phone with less technology was actually better. The battery only lasts half a day, I cant complete a full phone call without calling the person back at least twice because of dropped calls, the phone is actually slugglish at times, I had to move a bunch of apps to my sd card becuase the internal memory already filled up and the phone laggs bad running those apps, the camcorder takes low res jumpy video, the touch screen doesnt work that great some areas i have to push hard others enter the letter twice as it is so sensitive there. I returned 2 of these phones to WalMart and am on my third that is just as bad. If I stay prepaid I'm going back to VM maybe get the Triumph, but this phone soured me to prepaid in all likelyhood I'm going to get a 4G phone that can actually make a call and surf the web.
With rising of new android phones sporting dual core processors, the Optimus Black can be forgotten.... I think not. The LG Optimus Black gives a powerful punch that most 1 GHz android phones can't. Its display is very wonderful. The UI that LG gives is very easy to use.
using it since last two months.it also got android 2.3.4 update.not havin any problem wid it.........battery life is also very impressive even after having a slim battery.....nice video quality......display quality is excellent and crisp clear.......its very slim.......dont wanna buy a new cell in place of this one ;-)
good phone to use ,but,,,dont ever try to update or upgrade by PC,,there will be a big chance for you to have trouble in your device ,,,if so ,,your agent (at least the one in jordan) will say that LG dont uprove the (official lg website) !!!!!!!!!so your out of waranty .
Sitting alongside the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Black is a top-end smartphone, slipping in at just over £400, attempting to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Apple iPhone 4 for the smartphone crown, but with considerably fewer features and less processing power than its LG stablemate.
Mind Blowing Device.....speedy perfomance....excellent camera....and daily usage...
superb video quality....and easily hackable.....

Since after 2011, LG began to actively put into the Android market, following the world's first dual-core machine after the launch of LG Optimus 2X, LG continues to add new family members Optimus - Optimus Black, and this the greatest killing machine with, than is the use of NOVA screen, providing 700nit brightness, showing that the brightest cell phone, the clearest picture, but also strong in the sun to maintain visibility outdoors, and energy-saving performance is very good, compared to traditional LCD power consumption savings of up to 50%. In addition, only 9.2mm at the thinnest thickness of only 6mm of the body is one of the main features of this phone.
Great Display, Internet browser, Call quality, 2MP front facing camera, Multimedia & Looks .................
poor reception, Finger Print magnet, Music quality, Speaker, battery & old Froyo 2.2.2....................................
Buy if looks, front facing camera & display is main concern.
