LG announced the availability of the LG Optimus Black in a recent press release telling the world that the Android smartphone will be available in Europe this month after which it will hopefully get to the U.S. too. As last week’s rumors implied, the LG Optimus Black has hit U.K. stores and T-Mobile already has it.

You can get the LG NOVA-equipped Optimus Black for free from T-Mobile UK given you sign a a two-year contract for a monthly £25.5. With the U.K. carrier already offering it, the smartphone should hit stores and other carriers throughout Europe in the coming days. And, don’t forget, hopefully LG’s promise of giving Angry Birds Rio to Optimus smartphones extends to the Black too.
