LG Philippines silently released a new variant in their Optimus Android series of smartphones in the local market. Announced last September 14, the LG Optimus One is now available in stores with a suggested retail price of Php12,990.
The Optimus One is among the very few handsets to have Froyo 2.2 pre-installed straight out of the box.

If you think the Php12,990 is not that very attractive, how about a 50% discount to bring it down to just Php6,495? The blast off sale will happen on November 13 and will be offered in all LG Concept Stores in the malls (SM Megamall, SM North EDSA Annex, SM Cebu, and Gaisano Davao).
Here’s the catch — this one-day sale will also happen in just a one-hour window so you need to be there when the clock strikes on top of the hour. Will post more details when I get more info from LG Philippines.
Update: Just confirmed that the sale will happen between 2:00 – 3:00 PM on November 13, 2010.
I bought this phone for P12,900. It’s worth it, you can’t ask for more because it is powered by the latest Android 2.2 Froyo though it’s not the 10.1 flash like the other powerful Droid phone offered, so you can’t play facebook games, but the price worth it. It’s still a smart phone with a very cheap price. I maximized it’s usage by downloading “Free” Apps in Android Market. It has NDrive software with it, it’s a GPS Navigation software which you can download the Philippine Road Map. I’m not sure if it’s just a free trial but still waiting for 7 days just to confirm that it’s not. This navigation software doesn’t need an Internet connection for it to work (except for the initial set-up and upgrades). The Augmented Reality stuff, Google Goggles app are awesome. Too bad out Network Providers can’t maximize its usage. Good things there’s wi-fi hot spot everywhere.
In short, it’s still Froyo w/o 10.1 flash in cheaper price compared with Galaxy S and HTC Desire. Good for beginner Droid Phone user.
