You might remember the Optimus One phone from LG. It’s only being powered with 600 mhz, combining with Froyo but this phone, today, has reached a remarkable achievement. Right now, there’s a million Optimus one out there. And to add to the sweet gold medallion, is that LG only did it under 40 days and the phone hasn’t even reach Verizon (18th November) yet nor does it reach the rest of the world yet. LG got it right after all. A solid phone that’s not high-end but has enough features to experience full Android. See the full press release below.
