LG Optimus One Confirmed for Koodo Mobile
Archive note. This story reflects what was known when it was first covered. Prices, availability and carrier offers are historical. For the current picture, start with the topic guides.
From leak to confirmation
The first sign was a leaked Koodo inventory screenshot listing the phone. Koodo later published an official page that confirmed the phone as a sure thing and marked it as coming soon. That page contained no date and no pricing.
Why it was notable
For anyone wanting an Android phone on Koodo, this was a welcome sign. It also suggested that more Android devices might follow on the carrier.
Price context at the time
TELUS, the parent company of Koodo, already sold the Optimus One for $199 on a no-term basis. That price is historical. Because Koodo had not announced its own price, the reasonable guess was a figure in a similar range, but this was not confirmed.
