LG Optimus Black Unboxing
LG Optimus Black review: Black and bright - GSMArena.com: We gasped when we saw the box that the LG Optimus Black came in – it was huge. Most phones come in boxes barely wider and taller than the device itself, but not the Black – it came in a massive box that made it feel special.
An email from LG was quick to solve the mystery of the box – it’s for reviewers only and not the actual thing phones will be shipped in.
Still, the contents should be fairly representative of what the (probably smaller) retail box will hold. That’s a compact charger, a microUSB cable (to use with the charger too), a 2GB microSD card (with an SD adapter) and a single-piece headset. Be warned though that LG’s website hasn’t confirmed that.
We know what you’re thinking. They’ve just been treated to an excess of promo items so we’d better take the review with a pinch of salt. Worry not people – the pencil looks pretty cheap.
