'It’s a real looker of a phone and impressively well-built too. For solid smartphone feel and subtle but classy look, they don’t get much better than the LG Optimus Black P970. ... Feature-wise, it’s nothing spectacular but we knew all the way the Optimus Black wasn’t getting the premium flagship treatment. It’s the same package that Samsung offered a year ago with the original Galaxy S. ... The Optimus Black has a key feature to market itself on and looks classy without overdoing it.' [gsmarena.com - LG Optimus Black]
If you want a great looking phone, with nice [not spectacular, but very capable] features, the LG Optimus Black is a great option. It's a good idea to also look at the Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire S, HTC Incredible S, and Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc for comparison.
