LG P500 or Optimus One is one of the newest additions to the LG Optimus line and already a star. Yesterday the company officially announced that the sales of their affordable Android smartphone overpassed 1 million units. So, here we offer you to come with us into the world of the Android 2.2 Froyo LG Optimus One and see what makes this smartphone a potential bestseller.

We gonna start with the design this time. The LG Optimus One has not strict business, neither youth outlook to describe it suitable for younger people. It will definitely fit every style. There are the 4 standard Android devices' buttons on the front panel, but here they are shaped a little bit different and make a good impression right away. The Optimus One body is quite neat and except the metal frame the whole device is covered in black plastic with a tiny rubber layer. You do not have to bother if you gonna drop it.

The LG Optimus One has a 3.2" capacitive touchscreen with multitouch and resolution of 320х480 pixels. It reacts perfectly and has a strong feedback, if the vibration is too strong for you, you can turn it off, but this will fade your sensitivity while you are working. The combination between Android 2.2 Froyo and the 600 MHz CPU is very good. All the Apps open at once and work quick and easy. The multitasking will not make any problem at all.

The Internet access is possible both through the 3G operator's network (+ HSDPA support) and Wi-Fi. In the list with extras there are also Bluetooth with A2DP, GPS, FM radio, 170 МВ integrated memory and microSD slot situated under the back cover. The LG Optimus One has a 3 МР camera and you may think that this is the weakest part here, but the pictures are surprisingly good and perfect for sharing. And though the megapixels are not much, LG equipped the smartphone with Macro, Face Detection, ISO, white balance correction, effects, etc.

Social Networks are among the strong sides of LG Optimus One. It comes with preloaded applications for Facebook and Twitter, very comfortable for use and very user-friendly. And what's more, the smartphone offers you a complete integration between your Facebook contacts and your phone book. Thereby you gonna see not only their pictures by their names, but also you will have the option to write something on their wall or send a message to a friend through the social network right from the Phone book.

And here comes the pictures. It is so easy to shoot and upload a picture in Facebook with LG Optimus One, but is also as easy to create and send a text file with this smartphone and e-mail it. It comes preloaded with the ThinkFree Office App which will give you the opportunity to view and edit documents while you are on the move. The quickest way to enter text is of course the virtual QWERTY keyboard and do not worry the buttons are big enough for everyone not to make any mistakes while enter text.

LG Optimus One is an Android device, so we search through Android Market to test some of the coolest Apps there. Among the over 100 000 Apps we choose the free game Angry Birds - it is a due and also the newest version of Winamp player for Android. If you are in Android Market for the first time do not worry! LG have taken care of you adding the App Advisor that picks a list of recommended applications and help you find the most valuable apps in the market.

The last but not least in LG Optimus One is its high capacity battery of 1500 mAh that provides up to 8 hours conversations and over 700 h in standby mode.

If we have to make a conclusion we may boldly say that Optimus One will satisfy many people requirements at a very very good price. With its most updated Android 2.2 Froyo OS, a capacitive touchscreen with mutlitouch and the large choice throughout the Android Market it is one of the best offers we found recently. Try it out! You will make no mistake.
