Well, I am now a proud owner of the 'LG Optimus V' (modeled after the 'Optimus S' from Sprint) from Virgin Mobile. I just got it today from a Target in the greater Chicagoland area. The activation period takes 1-3 days, maybe since I'm porting my phone # from one carrier to another. This will be my very 1st Android phone and I can't wait to use!!!

I'm happy to report that the 'Optimus V' is AWESOME!!! My phone was activated late last night and I can't put it down! I've already added a ton of apps on it. IMO, the only drawback is the short battery life. Other than that, I really don't have any complaints, so far.

Your battery life will get better once you have it customized the way you want it.......you are just using the battery like crazy now..............

I purchased the Optimus S for a relative for their birthday. It's a great starter device and one of the few smartphones I'd recommend for a teenager. I'm not a proponent of smartphones for teens, but with the controls that are available through the device & through my carrier, it allows me to curb most misuse of the device. And, let's face it, for a starter device, it is pretty sweet.

I've only had this phone for a few days now and I can't say enough good things about it. One great things I've notice about this phone over my 8530 curve from VM is that I'm getting a little better coverage when I'm showing no coverage bars. Same network and
signal strength, but with the Optimus V I'm able to surf the web and make calls with ease.this is a huge plus for me as I live in an area where I'd be lucky just to have one bar of service.
