Not an LG Optimus V?

I have noticed several discrepancies in HSN's product description regarding our phone. I have confirmed the discrepancies by using the specifications that display on our phone's system information. The positive point is that we've ended up getting an upgraded phone.

HSN's Description           Actual
Phone Name
Optimus V                     Optimus Net

HSN's website displays the phone and model# as being an Optimus V.
What You Get
    LG Optimus V cell phone
The Key Specs
    Model #:Optimus V

The letter “V” on LG Optimus indicates the relationship between the LG Optimus and it’s Carrier Virgin Mobile. V or VM670,VM701 refers to the Optimus Virgin Mobile series (see Virgin Mobile "V" TradeMark below ad.) This kind of designation has been established with other LG Optimus Series launched in United States however; there are exceptions.

LG OPTIMUS CARRIER LETTERING ASSOCIATIONS       
                                        
LG Optimus ONE, 2 = ACG network
LG Optimus C = Cricket Wireless
LG Optimus T = T-Mobile
LG Optimus M = Metro PCS
LG Optimus S and Elite = Sprint
LG Optimus U = US Cellular


Almost all of these Optimus Versions have the same or similar designs and runs on the Android platform.




 I believe that the correct Optimus designation that we purchased is actually an Optimus Net for NET10 not a "V" for Virgin mobile. The phone packaging displays LG "Optimus Net".

The actual Model Number is LG L45C as displayed in the Settings - "About phone", battery compartment,  and Quick Start Guide that came with the phone.
