Following up on our extensive coverage of the LG Optimus V the past few days, Virgin Mobile has officially confirmed the launch of the Android smartphone for February 1st.
As previously reported, the Optimus V will undercut the cost of the Samsung Intercept and ships with Android 2.2. The phone is currently available at Target locations, with many selling out of stock as more people call and ask for them ahead of its official launch, considering the pricepoint is the lowest price for a prepaid Android smartphone in the US.
The Optimus V is identical to the Sprint version, save for the omission of built-in mobile hotspot support with a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recorder, 512MB RAM/256MB ROM underpinned by the Qualcomm MSM7627 at 600MHz, visual voicemail support, Wi-Fi radio, GPS and microSDHC card slot.
