The article didn't specifically say that the X5 was under $500 - that was in reference to the LG Optimus One (P500).
However, the Optimus One doesn't look too bad either (just slightly slower with a 600MHz processor, lower res cam, display etc...)
The article does actually say that both are under $500:
Mobile operator 2degrees is predicting the start of the "smartphone wars" as it launches two new handsets that cost less than $500
Wonder if the X6 is coming too, that does look good
Hmm... good point. Might save up till then. IDEOS X5 is set to be released in January 2011 though...
