Excellent Phone!
Great audio!Larger screen 3.5 instead of 3.2 on the LG optimus V.Takes good pictures with flash.1 gig of built in storage.Gingerbread 2.3.Streaming live videos some buffering on 3g depending on your location to the network.Wifi no problem.recommend downloading Open signal maps.800 MHz. Processor was overclocked from the LG on many of these phones if you read android forums.I used Antuu benchmark from the Playstore market Or you can use speed test. My phone was clocked at 924 almost 1Gig.Battery will not last all day when steaming internet a lot.
You can not beat virgin mobiles prices for prepaid phone.
Pros:
2.3 gingerbread
800 MHz processor[ Probably higher]
5 megapixel camera
NFC capable
Adobe Flashplayer
Cons:
battery[{download Easy Battery Saver]

I have the LG Optimus Elite.

This wasn't my first choice of phone, but I ended up getting it and I am so glad I did!! It is waaay cheaper than the iPhone or those other high-priced smartphones, and does almost everything that those phones can do! It is my first smartphone and I love it! A lot of my friends are asking me what kind of phone it is and complimenting me on it!

PROS:
--Great size, fits in my hand perfectly and fits very well in a pocket. The phone looks great!
--The back piece is very hard and sturdy, protective even without a case.
--Camera takes great pictures!
--LOVE the Android operating system and apps.
--The Swype texting works great!
--Very cheap ($30 for me), especially for everything it does.
--Can listen to voicemails w/o punching in the passcode.
--It runs very well!! I haven't had any problems with freezing up or getting super slow.
--Lightweight.
--Doesn't have the super huge phone size that some of the new phones do, but the screen is like the perfect size.
--The battery life is AWESOME!! I charge it when I go to bed each night, and some nights I don't even need to. It lasts a long time, even when using apps and the internet.
--The voice-to-text option is really handy sometimes and works extremely well! Very accurate.

CONS:
--The camera does not have a button on the side, and does not do the "reverse camera" thing where you could take a picture of yourself, so taking pictures yourself can be kind of difficult because you have to try to hit the little touch button when you can't see it.
--Only 3G, but in my area there aren't many 4G towers anyways.

User Review: Optimus Prime?

No, not quite--at 800 MHz the processor in the Elite isn't going to win any speed contests. But it does what I need it to do.

PROS:

--Perfect size for your pocket.

--At 800 MHz, the processor actually does a good job of keeping things moving along. Video plays smoothly.

--Reception is fine.

--Sound quality is good, just not loud enough.

--Screen quality is surprisingly good.

CONS:

--I wanted a small screen so it could fit in my pocket, but it's still a small screen.

--Earpiece volume is not loud enough.

--It'll never get Ice Cream Sandwich (but it's got 2.3.7, so...).

This is my first smartphone--and I chose to port over to Virgin Mobile from Verizon due to Virgin's great pricing. For $149, you get a brand new handset that just came out within the last few months and isn't a 'hand-me-down'. And it does what I need it to do (I'm no power user).

Virgin's network in South Florida is spotty at best. Either Sprint gives secondary status to Virgin users, or there's no roaming on other CDMA carriers to fill in the gaps. Sprint's 3G is a joke. Sprint's WiMax is a joke. Sprint's LTE (at this time) is nonexistent.

I am very pleased with this phone. I have the LG Optimus M+ for Metro Pcs and I am blown away with this phone. It has suprised me and exceeded my expectations. I left AT&T, went to Sprint then to Tmobile, I was regretting leaving AT&T because Sprint and Tmobile has unstable receptions service, went to Metro Pcs, simply to save money and although skeptical at first, I am simply now happy of my decision and pleasantly surprised on how amazing this phone is.

The battery lasts me a long time. I mean a VERY long time. I take it off the charger at 1am and it will easily last me a good 24 hours before I have to plug it in (with light use), with heavy use, I will have to plug it in the charger after 12 hours or so.
The phone is very responsive. The only negative I have about this phone is that because it is Metro Pcs, there is hardly any 3G service. I am in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Half days it runs on EVDO with 3+ bars constant which is same as 3G but the majority it runs 1x which is 2G ... The amazing thing is WIFI, once I connect to WIFI this phone is very fast. I have WIFI at home and at work, so its always on WIFI, cant complain. I have an amazing phone and only paid $149. If you want 4G, buy the LG Connect, its super fast on 4G LTE and its $249

The Camera is awesome and have experience No Lagging what so ever. The phone does not freeze on me and the switching screens is a breeze.

Pros:
Battery
Screen Display
Camera
Video Camera
Software
Wifi

Cons:
Unstable 3G service
Its not 4G
Texting can be cramped up

Overall, this phone is awesome! I love it and highly recommend it for the price. If you can afford $100 more, buy the LG Connect 4G LTE, its the same phone, same features just has a much faster processor

Overall rating: 4 (out of 5)

Pros:
Processor makes it quick
Camera is fast; great flash
Lightweight & Slim
Great Speaker
Nice Sound Quality when making calls

Cons:
Video doesn't Focus how i'd like
No Data & Talking simultaneously

Overall I think this is a mid tier phone with a bottom tier price tag from Metro PCS. I'm happy with the data speeds and even happier with the sleek design of the Device. Ive always been a Samsung user. I'm excited to see what Google has in store for Motorola.

LG Optimus M+
