Lg l9

Thinking about picking this up for someone as an update to an optimus T. Reviews seem decent, any thoughts.

Looks like (well, not physically) a lighter spec'ed Nexus 4, which is my reference point now for phones, especially for LG. They came out within a month of each other, but the L9 has a dual core TI OMAP 4430 instead of a quad core Snapdragon S4. Also, only 1GB of RAM. All the other specs are slightly lower expect battery capacity.

Which, looking at the price, isn't bad thing for a lower to mid-range phone. I'd buy it for the $200 or less off-contract it seems to be going for. Good deal.

They just pulled the JB OTA for stability reasons. Ouch!

Not horrible, limited storage, *some* XDA work.

I'd probably go used S2, but this IS new.

Used, he could get a One X or maybe even an S3 if you know someone who's upgrading (hard to get that price online, though).

But for a new phone it's a pretty decent price.
