LG Optimus LTE smartphone hits 1 million in sales

From CNET News.com: LG's Optimus LTE phone is proving to be a hot seller around the world, racking up more than 1 million unit sales.

Debuting in South Korea last October, the phone grabbed sales of 600,000 units in its native country during the first three months.

From there, the Optimus LTE traveled to Japan to capture sales of 8,500 units in its first day, then to Canada, and finally to the U.S. where it was rebranded the LG Nitro HD, altogether pulling in more than 400,000 in additional sales to take in a cool million.

The phone is selling in North America through three of the major carriers, including AT&T.

Dubbed the world's first HD LTE smartphone by LG, the Optimus LTE offers a high-definition 1280 x 720 pixel (16:9 aspect ratio) IPS (in-plane switching) display. Composed of 2.76 million sub-pixels, the 4.5-inch True HD screen is touted as delivering sharp clarity and a natural color accuracy.
