Just saw this article about LG slashing its sales figures for their phones for 2011.
Wow they are estimating their sales of only 24 million phones for 2011. Samsung sold 19 million in the second quarter alone!

Hey ya'll, Virgin Mobile has 50% off of the LG Optimus Slider, Motorola Triumph Triumph, and the LG Optimus V today.

I think after today, there will be a huge influx of new users with lots of questions. I myself am probably one of them. I am coming from an optimus V. This was a pretty good deal.
Ordered mine today. Stores would not honor the discount.
I GOT TWO
It worked. I just bought two of them. Came to $131 & change including tax.
Stores don't honor any online discount, not even their own.
(e.g. if you see something cheaper at WalMart.com, you cannot purchase it at that price at a WalMart store.)
I suddenly wish I had that money to buy me a phone ._.
If you use cashback from fatwallet you'll get $22.50 back on the Triumph. Makes it just over $100.
This seems like a great phone and for 150 w/ such cheap service its a no brainer. I love my droid charge and the 4G but 120ish a month is just too much to pay for a cell phone. I ordered mine yesterday and as soon as I get it im going to fully port my number to gvoice and big red can kiss my ass!
i got the triumph woot
i mean is there that much of a difference in the stock ones from lg compared to the $27 one from billy bobs house of phones based out of the hills of tennessee or the $55 ones from general tso's shop of accessories based out of china?

Depends.
The stock LG one is definitely the same as in the phone and may come with extras such as replacement sticky tape, etc., which, if it does, you should ask those other sources if they also provide whatever comes with the LG digitizer. Also, do a bit of research about consumer feedback about the various sellers especially for the peeps who have ordered parts for the G2X and Optimus 2X from them and installed the part(s) and also note how dependable the seller is regarding shipping, returns, etc.
I think this is the part number: mccz0048101
(From the service manual)
Here's the service manual:

Good luck!
thanks core. im mainly looking at the ones on ebay. don't really wanna drop $50 on one nor get one from china.
I forgot to add that the digitizers come branded at the top with either T-Mobile or LG.
Relevant PSA for others: $72 for a motherboard replacement on hard bricked GF2s; motherboards "on backorder until March;" expect delayed service even for replacement device of another model type (2/8/17 update: I received my G Flex 2 back with a functional motherboard.)
Details: Hi all, I've sent my G Flex 2 in for out-of-warranty repair back in December. It was a "9008" hard brick that presumably only needed the firmware reinstalled, as Qualcomm USB was alive on PC connection's device manager. The repair center claims "Power Completely Off" and thus charge $72 for a new motherboard. (This repair center is "Wireless Operations, Physical Damage/OOW Dept" in Fort Worth, TX.)
I paid since their paperwork stated the repair and shipment would all take only 5-7 business days after payment - seemed reasonable. However, it has now been 25 business days and counting without any phone.
In between payment and now I've made three calls - two to the LG repair center representative and one to a LG customer service rep. Repair center initially said the board was on backorder until January 13th, but on January 23rd the customer service rep stated the part was on backorder until March.
The representative offered a G4 if I did not wish to wait until March, which I declined due to well-known bootloop issues. He then offered a G5. I accepted and was told I'd not get the GF2 back. He created a second LG repair tracking number for this G5, and I asked for a FedEx tracking number as well. You guessed it - "5-7 days and we'll email it to you."
I am calling again during business hours today to try to escalate and expidite my case. I filed a pending complaint on BBB similar to this one and wish to warn fellow GF2 owners of the inadequate service times LG is currently giving customers, particularly if you have a hard bricked device.
I will update if I receive any further resolution or new information on the backorder status.
Update: Spoke with customer service today. They're still awaiting a G5 at the refurb facility, and confirmed GF2 part is on backorder until March. Now told I will have G5 "7-9 business days" after they get one at the refurb facility. It is unknown when that will be. I pointed out this means 32-36 or more business days since my payment for a 5-7 day service to get *any* kind of device back. I was refused any sort of replacement that is quicker when requested, and when I asked to speak to a manager, I was put on hold for a few minutes, only for the same representative to finish the call saying "he partnered with his supervisor and he agreed all can do is wait" for an update to the status of my order by email.
Update 2: Received an email from LG today, February 5th. My original G Flex 2 was apparently shipped out to me and is in route as of February 3rd (the FedEx tracking number doesn't show yet.) The tracking on the G5 still is not updated, so it seems apparent it will not be sent to me. I was told I'd be getting a G5 so I already purchased a glass protector, case, and Dbrand skins for a G5 and got rid of my G Flex 2 case. What an absolute mess.
Update 3: My original G Flex 2 arrived February 8th. That's 32 business days after payment. My $9.52 tempered glass screen protector was removed; a piece of tape is on the screen instead. Shipping instructions said to "remove accessories such as memory/SIM cards" but didn't not specifically state portectors. It is also clear on teardown videos on YouTube that the motherboard is entirely accessible through the back screws; absolutely no need to have removed the glass from a service standpoint, or clearly requested to remove in paperwork. I haven't tried to reactivate on the Sprint network yet, however I have noticed the yellow Sprint bootup logo is conspicuously missing now, and a SIM card that wasn't mine is in the phone now. Network carrier shows as "LG" on display; apparently some test card an employee carelessly left in.
I called Customer Serivce again, asking for the status of the G5 now that I have this device back. Reiterated I was specifically told I would receive the G5 and not this phone back. After being put on hold a few times the rep said they would call me back in 24-48 hours for resolution after review and consideration of my case notes.
Any update on this?
I just sent mine in for a motherboard repair as well, wondering if a long turnaround time is in my future or a LG G5.

Sorry I never updated this thread in a timely manner.
Ultimately I contacted LG's social media accounts, Facebook and Twitter to be exact. I received an email saying they would send the G5 and gave me a return label for the G Flex 2. I received a Sprint LS992 G5 shortly thereafter.
It's been fun to have the G5 but it has display defects that showed up after their short 90 days warranty period provided. Namely backlight bleeding, terrible screen ghosting and 16+ stuck pixels with a few dead ones that are invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible in a VR headset (more defective pixels than their own warranty documents allow.) Sadly the first two issues seem prevalent among most G5 panels and I didn't own a VR headset until after their 90-day warranty. I'll be sure to look for dead/stuck pixels on all future phones now.
I will add I recently ordered a Boost Mobile LS996 G Flex 2 off eBay that had some bootloop issues. The previous owner was the original buyer and only sent it in for warranty repair once. Turns out the new motherboard had *no* thermal pad installed. (All teardowns I see online show a factory gray thermal pad on the motherboard...) Heat was likely transferring over the battery and charging port cables instead of into the frame as a result. Uncertain if Boost Mobile files warranty repairs with LG or another service, but definitely wary of any of their repair jobs now.
