The latest in a long line of LG Optimus budget phone, Cricket now has their own, called the Optimus C. Sure, it’s not top of the line, but for $129.99 after web discount and mail in rebates, it’s not a bad price for a phone with NO CONTRACT. Yes, Cricket’s business model is only month-to-month plans with no hardware subsidies. For that $130 you get a 3.2” HVGA touch-screen, WiFi, a 3.2MP camera/camcorder, Android 2.2 FroYo and a 600 mhz processor. And for $55/month, you get unlimited everything, talk, text and data.
