The Midwest and Greater Russia: Mobile Equivalents
Just a few short years ago, your humble narrator had never so much as picked up a smartphone, much less owned a device with a data plan – such is the way in the Midwest for many still today, and by the looks of LG’s newest announcement of the Optimus P698 handset, it’s the same situation over there in Mother Russia.
