Verizon And LG Announce LG Lucid, Thumbs Nose At Nokia

By Rob Boggan

Verizon and LG announced the Android powered LG Lucid today, with availability beginning March 29th. The Lucid packs Android 2.3 into a sleek LG designed frame, with the capability of being upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich at a later date. Rocking a sweet 4 inch Corning Gorilla Glass display, 1.2GHz dual core chip set, and a 5MP camera with 1080p video capabilities, the Lucid seems to be Verizon’s answered to the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 featured on AT&T. All this aboard Verizon’s LTE network, and for the sweet sweet price of $79.99 (I smell an undercut).

Anybody out there excited about the Lucid? Or Does the Lumia gauge your interest more?
