if your budget is 20k (price of Optimus Black), then look for Nexus S or Galaxy S. get Optimus Black only if you are ready to root the mobile & install custom roms. else, for now this is not a good buy.

LG has added some custom theme & removed or tweaked certain files of Android operating system making the mobile buggy. it has random restart issue, call reception issue, etc.

so if you want Black only, wait till the gingerbread update. it should fix most/all the problems but for now, with so many problems spending 20k is not wise.

though most of the bugs can be fixed by installing a custom rom (unofficial Android operating system. user/DEVs fix problems & release a file that you have to install manually overriding the Operating system that LG shipped with).
