Here at Ausdroid, we don’t condone the purchasing of resistive-screened devices, but it has become apparent to us that some of you just don’t care about the screen technology and just want a cheap smartphone. So to honor this, we present to you the LG Optimus hitting the low price of $199 on Vodafone Prepaid. If you recharge $30 on Vodafone Prepaid you will receive 3,000 SMS to any GSM mobiles, 250MB of data, $100 voda-to-voda credit & $30 credit for everything else. Not too bad if you ask me, take note Telstra.

Pity you can’t get a capacitive hvga android for $200

Josh

optimus has resistive touch, but surprisingly responsive. Not bad for price… but it is LG… Can’t say they’ve had a lot of success with whole touch screen thing. 🙂

I have a Nokia N97 mini with the aforementioned RESISTIVE screen. Urgh.
I’m changing to capacitive definitely for my next phone.

As mentioned in an earlier release, Telstra have the Samsung galaxy 5 WITH a capacitive screen for $199…..

Dylan

but the res and screen size are shitty

tomascivinod

res is good! most in that price range are qvga breaking compatibility with so many older apps.

tomascivinod
