AT&T today announced two new Android smartphones that will represent affordable choices compared to some of their more recent high-end announcements.
Both phones are essentially versions of the LG Optimus One (see our full review), which we have said before is an excellent bang-for-your-buck device. They both sport a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 600MHz processor, Android 2.2 (Froyo), and a 3.2 MP camera.
The LG Thrive is AT&T's first prepaid smartphone and will cost $179.00 outright. A new prepaid data package was also announced, which is 500MB/$25. Consumers may also choose 100MB/$15 or 10MB/$5.
The LG Phoenix will be the same phone, but will be on-contract rather than prepaid. It will be available for $49.99 with a 2-year service agreement.
Both devices will be available nationwide on April 17th. If you've been craving a solid yet affordable smartphone, the Thrive or Phoenix are two very good options. [AT&T]
