LG Optimus G Now Available

Today was not only the launch day for the Nexus 4 but it was also the Canadian launch of the Nexus 4′s inspiration, the LG Optimus G.  On paper, the Optimus G actually outshines the Nexus 4 in many categories.  Here’s the spec sheet again in case you’ve forgotten.

• Operating System: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
•  Network: 2G / 3G / LTE

The device is available on all the major carriers with Rogers having a unique model that supports the 2600MHZ LTE radio.  The device will run you around $600-$650 outright or $150-$200 on a 3-year contract.  Definitely not a bad price given how much is packed into this phone.  Keep your eyes peeled as Ryan will be reviewing this unit in the coming weeks.
