LG Optimus Slider for texting lovers Video Transcript
Hello everybody. It's Lynn La from CNET. Bringing you guys the LG Optimus Slider from Virgin Mobile. The Slider is a mid range 3G device that has a 3.2 inch touch screen display and runs on Android Ginger Break. It's powered by a single core, 800 Megahertz processor and a 1500 milliamp per hour battery which gives you a top time of roughly 4 hours and 10 minutes. In the back, there's a 3.2 mega pixel camera that is unfortunately not equipped with a flash. For all you texting lovers out there, underneath, there is a 4 row cordi fly out keyboard that lights up when you use it and it includes 4 navigational arrows. Now, during my time with the hand set, I find that it didn't have the greatest battery life. Plus, it weighs in at 5.11 ounces so it's a bit of a heavy weight. I also found the built a little bulky. Even when considering the slide out keyboard. However, I did appreciate the generous real state of the keyboard and it's ease of use. Now, if you're interested in the this no contact device, it's going for $180 at virgin mobile. Again, I'm Lynn from CNET bringing you guys the LG Optimus Slider.

LG Optimus Slider (Virgin Mobile) Review
The good: The LG Optimus Slider has a spacious keyboard, little to no bloatware, and a responsive touch screen.
The bad: The LG Optimus Slider is bulky, even as a slider phone. Camera quality is poor.
The bottom line: If you like a real keyboard on a no-contract, reasonably priced handset, the LG Optimus Slider is a good contender. Just remember its low specs and boxy build.
