I'd get the onyx one because of the wifi.

Edit: does the onyx one even have gprs? Or is it just wifi? If so then the LG one

The LG, 100%. According to GSM Arena, it does have WiFi connectivity: LG GT540 Optimus - Full phone specifications

I've never heard of the Onyx Dragon and it looks as though it's a relatively cheaply made phone that has android thrown on there. It's also Chinese meaning you might not get access to the proper Android market (That's common on a lot of Chinese Android devices).

Personally, I'd avoid the Onyx like the plague! I can find 0 user reviews for the phone though it appears to have been available since last September? Plenty of people seem to be selling it, but no one seems to have bought one? At least no one willing to talk about their purchase. I'm not even sure it really exists. At least the LG though a old design is from a legitimate company with a track record.

If you can get the ZTE Blade/Orange San Francisco for that price it's well worth it.

It's ok with the stock software on there, but with a custom ROM, it's excellent.
