LG Optimus Pro – Simple Social Networking with Both QWERTY and Touch

The LG Optimus Pro claims to be the company's first smartphone with a portrait QWERTY keyboard for fast and accurate typing, and it also offers a 2.8-inch touchscreen display for quick navigation. The phone also comes with dedicated hotkeys for instant access to email and scheduler. The LG Optimus Pro will be available in white, titan, as well as black.
 
LG Optimus Net – The Next Generation of Social Communication

Featuring LG Social+, the Optimus Net places all the popular social networking portals in one convenient widget which you can access easily from the homescreen. Users can multitask between updating their status on Facebook and Twitter while reading their friends’ social media feeds on the same screen. The widget also provides one-click photo sharing with multiple social media accounts. The Optimus Net sports a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display while the LG SmartShare function allows easy sharing of content with other DLNA devices.

According to the company, specifications for the Optimus Net will vary from market to market. Depending on the carrier, some of the phones in Europe will be Near Field Communication (NFC) capable for mobile payments. The North American version will include a QWERTY keyboard and in Brazil, China, Asia and the CIS region, the Optimus Net will be dual SIM-compatible. The phone will be available in white, as well as black.
 
Both the Optimus Pro and Optimus Net boast the largest 1500mAh battery in their class and an 800 MHz CPU, ensuring longer, better performance. Both smartphones will be available starting this summer, rolling out in 30 markets beginning in Europe.
