    I started with the Optimus T for T-Mobile and I LOVE it. Although T-Mobile has struck my LAST nerve. I have decided to switch to Sprint and I told them that I MUST have the Optimus S. It’s a great midline phone. Not too ritzy that it costs $500, but still a solid, AFFORDABLE phone. I have always been an LG fan but this time, they’ve outdone themselves.
