I have had this phone for a week and can say i love the idea of 3d but so far roms (no disrespect to devs) have been really poor. phone doesnt come close to the Samsung S2 and HTC sensation XE which i both have.
Am i doing something wrong with O3D or can you guys recommend me a rom to flash.
iv had loads of htc smartphones and samsung but first lg and feel abit lost seems like this forumn is dormant.

Hi5 for that..I thought more would come from the development community but nothing..they say LG files are hard to deal with..overallisappointed
Well, the Optimus 3D is not the most popular phone by LG. The Optimus Speed is much more commonly used by people.
I recently switched from the Speed to the 3D (exchanged by LG) and must say that I kind of expected the same variety in Roms as with my previously stated phones, right as you noticed, too. Currently there aren't that much devs on the O3D. But nevertheless they are doing a great job. Just try out the Roms and look which you like most. Currently I am using Thiaizos Rom and I must say I like it the most atm.
I think most people are just a little afraid of the 3D-technics in this phone and do not know if its good or not. And if you do not want the 3D, there are definatley better phones available right know (Mostly related to form factor, not hardware itself).
Additionaly LG is not the most famous smartphone producer...

totally right,but I thought due to the 3D thing it would get more popularity,I think the hardware is really great and I compared it to the S2 and minor inferiority found,but still we wish more costume ROMS may support our phone cause I think it deserves such nice device,thanks anyway

The S2 is one of the if not the best android or phone out there and iv had the iphone 4s lol my o3d s2 and sensation are better than that S2 is awesome tho. some of the mods are soo cool.
for this device id love cm7 with 3d
The 3d features make this phone unique and i love it think the 3d games and vids are awesome.
i guess in the end ICS is coming out so hopefully will help our phone improve
What chance do ROM developers have if LG the hardware maker can not make a decent Gingerbread for this phone. I have personally went back to froyo after having freezing issues, Ghost calls and sms.
I got very close couple times to smashing this useless phone into pieces, I am reduced now to using my Iphone 4 again.
I agree with You guys. I had a S2 and it was great both with orig. firmware, miui and custom roms. Smooth as butter, and always working. Now I changed it for HTC Titan, and it also works great.
But O3D is another story.... Great idea, great hardware and ****ty software from the begining till now. GB is only marginaly faster but still buggy as hell.
I got info from the support that no GB updates are in the work for now. So we are stuck with v21a for qiute some time.
Also the devs are few and not very motivated (except Tiazo), and LG isn`t helping at all.
I realy don`t get it - it looks as if they are shooting themself in the foot???
I think this is my last LG ever! Even thou I have a great 2 year support from my cell phone network I`m goin to sell this stillborn pnone and get a deecent one. Even iPhone is better... lol
Got an unbranded new O3D yesterday, had the chance of selling it to a galaxy nexus, but what about 3D? Can I live without it again? No I cant. 3D is a way better function imo than SGS2's smoothness or even galaxy nexus's ICS. I owned SGS2 and own an ICS phone, both are amazing, I love ICS , but we r getting it sooner or later, but i repeat again, we have 3D and for me it is the best function so far in a smartphone.

Well it's simple equation man,we are getting ICS and many tweaks and customizations for the O3D like S2 or Nexus(We have enough hardware features no one can deny)..but can those phones get the 3D feature in them?
Noooooooooo..so that's what makes the difference,3D is a revolution and I heard a piece of news saying Samsung is about to produce 3D supported phones..Meaning??=Teased!
all we need now is patience and trying to support each other until there are enough resources that no one can complain..PEACE
Well hopefully when Samsung release a 3d smartphone next year it will be a lot better than the Optimus 3d so we will finally have a good 3d smartphone that works properly.

I don't understand all this complaining, my O3D has worked pretty much perfect from Day 1 using stock rom, we just received GB update and everything seems to be working fine for me...improved the camera and also released the 3D converter after launch, and LG promised an ICS upgrade too what more do you want.
This phone has better hardware and features than the Evo 3D and is only slightly behind the GSII in performance...looking forward to LG's next 3D phone I will be first in line.

3D is indeed amazing but the Optimus 3d isn't the best phone to show it off. As the phone has had so many problems and LG seems to be forgetting the 2d side with bad 2d photo quality and only improving the 3d side doesn't help things.
Once more better 3d phones come out in the future which are better over all then phones functions then hopefully 3D smartphones will become more popular.

LG didn't bother to improve 2d photo quality. They seem to have made it worse.

2D photos seem fine to me but I found that a replacement camera app, Camera Zoom FX, made it so much better so I guess the problem is the phones software rather than the hardware.
In regard to others making a better 3D phone, so far LG's 3D comes out best in reviews and so, as other manufacturers have yet to catch up, I would expect Optimus 3D 2 to be best 3D phone next year as well. But it better have 1 GB ram as even I have to admit 512 is not always enough recently.

I've been really enjoying the 3D functionality of this phone. I'm still on the stock ROM and haven't been worried about alternate ROMs. This phone runs really well.
I also own an HTC Sensation and I have owned a Samsung Galaxy S II.....but they don't do 3D and - for me - 3D is THE reason to buy an LG Optimus 3D phone.
I've had a play with the HTC Evo 3D...and the 3D display on the Evo just isn't as good as the display on the Optimus 3D.
I'm looking forward to the official firmware upgrade. I only install alternate ROMs if that actually ADD value to the device. I've had my fill of broken Franken-ROMs that eat my time.

There are enough nice themes and apps to make you think you have sense installed..but i want the real thing...
I know i asked before but want to get more on this subject...after all its only a software launcher??
And since it seems the evo3d gets rooted next week or so, i really want to hear possibilities
Thanks!
Omg...
sense is not just a theme or a launcher, its a total change of android.
the evo 3d IS NOT the o3d so the rom from htc is more or less useless!
if you whant sense then sell your o3d and get an evo 3d and stop asking fkr a useless port.
youl'll see if somebody is bored enought to try a port but till then it's useless to open such a thread.

You said it. Sense is nice. So nice that its a selling point for me.
The optimus's cortex 9 and apparantly better 3d view are sexy as well. But the design of the phone sucks imo, doesnt have a notification led and the resolution is fair, but not great, also saw better 2d photos and videos on youtube coming from the evo3d.
So im having a hard time, like i also said in other topics^^
The evo3d gets root as well next week probaly, so you cant convince me with the custom roms, unless it can make the optimus run sense3.0.
Also its stopid that everyone here tries to get me to the optimus side, and at the evo3d forum everybody says their 3vo is better. I knew thiswould happen but it makes making descisions harder. Im glad some people saw both phones and at least now i know the optimus3d does got a better 3d screen.
You will see 2D more than 3D. Sense is a selling point for you so buy the HTC EVO 3D.

if sense is really a must have for you, you should buy the htc because it will take some MONTHS to port it to the o3d and maybe it would be still full of bugs.
you could make it yourself a little bit easyer to decide through a professional way:
first of all make a list of all the attributes of your favorite phone for e.g.
processingpower
ui
style
price
camera
display
storage
connectivity
community
support
battery
and so on
sort them by giving them points.
now choose wich phone gets what attributepoints.
and you'll see what phone has the most points!
if its to hard to decide between two attributes you can compare them to all the other attributes
i hope this will help you

He wants both and doesn't want to choose. Which will end in not buying one of them.
For all the noobs, 3d is just for bragging, don't worry about that, I end up playing the 3d games with low 3d settings... and i have the o3d, that said, i would love a sense ui but i think the developers should do it with the 2.3 !
Both phones are nice and fast, maybe battery is the most decisive aspect.
LG we want 2.3 !!!!
I would like to try Sense on the O3D. For me it isn't a choice between phone, but a choice between Sprint and AT&T. Sprint doesn't have service in my area so... That being said, I am only choosing this phone now instead of waiting for the next Nexus because I don't want to wait anymore, 3D gives bragging rights to non-geeky friends, and there is no guarantee the next Nexus device will come to AT&T. I trust that developers will create oodles of ROM's incuding Ice Cream Sandwich. I hope.

well in fact the o3d is faster than the evo 3d. the processor is a little bit faster and with the dualchannel it's much faster. all the test are showing, that the o3d ist even with 2.2 faster than all the other phones with 2.3

I agree with you. O3D with 2.2 is already faster than other 2.3 phones. Also the UI is very clean and useful. It actually got all the missing features from samsung touchwiz. For myself I am happy with it. I have used htc desire and aria as well, sense is good and useful, but use up too much resource. So unless a launcher is designed as a general launcher like golauncher, I would not have great hope in a ported launcher for specific brand. As there are specific codes within those launchers.

I believe it is time for another upgrade, i've been upgrading almost like every 2 months for the past 8 months or so.
- HTC Magic
- HTC Tattoo
- LG Optimus One
- Samsung Galaxy S
- LG Optimus 2X - Present
I've got a buyer of my LG 2X in my family, so i wont buy any device at it's full price.
So in my country i've got SGSII at 499€ or the Optimus 3D at 459€
Share your thoughts with me, is O3D worth it for 40€ less than the SGSII?
I'm starting to get sick of LG, and all of its *upgradeable* while not being upgraded. (officially OFC, i'm running latest miui now)
I originally got the sgs2 and had enough problems with it (overheating etc). Gave it back as DOA when it burnt a pixel on day10 and got the lg 3d. Don't regret it even for a minute. I like it more. It feels and IS fast and all that on 2.2 froyo. I guess it will be even better on 2.3. Got it to reach 3600+ quadrant and though benchmarks aren't everything it is really fast man. And all those without any overclocking at all and stock rom v10k. Though sgs2 heating problem is (reportedly) solved i wouldn't go anywhere near it again.nice colors on screen but really bad resollution when you zoom in on text for example, plus some colors appear glitched (see angry birds sky up close). Battery was lasting me as long as o3d does give or take half an hour difference and i am a really heavy user...(sometimes i charge twice a day)
Plus o3d feels nice in your hand and build quallity is great whilesgs2 felt like a piece of cheap plastic (which it really is)... hope i helped
4 me it's a very simple question, and has a very simple answer...
Do you like and want 3D sbs effects on your phone? yes= buy lgo3d
no= buy samsung sgs2
Thats basically my question, i believe that the SGSII is a better device, and i would only go to the 3D if i wanted 3D, since i don't the 3D technology today is going to revolucionize anything, is it worth?
Plus i think that asking this questions here, i will most likely be convinced by O3D people xD
What about updates? FFS this is October, ICS is almost launched! Why are we still using Froyo?! and please don't give me the "stability" answer, froyo is more stable simply because LG worked on Froyo and not on GB.
Software-wise i believe that Samsung is doing a greater job.

Hello,
If you can deal with its screen, sure SGS2 is a very good phone.
I couldn't deal with the crazy colors, so far from real ones. I can't bear to read Internet pages that are supposed to be white displayed in a pale blue...
Without this screen i would have go for it.
Here in France the O3D can be found new at 349€. So that's 150 less than SGS2. So it does make a difference.
And the feeling in hands for SGS 2 was not pleasant.
hmm, nice point webgelato...this might actually be the best argument in my own *personal* research of what is the best...
I seems that the main (and actually only serious) complaint about the SGSII is the weird way that the SAMOLED+ likes to treat colors... blueish tintings and yellow tints in some cases...
If i knew things what i know now then i would go with the sgs2. This fones specs are respectable but software is a nightmare. No real custom roms yet. I really get mad sometimes with this phone where simple things such as SMS typing turns a nightmare cause the keyboard acts out regardless the softkeyboard weather stock or installed one. And also you have to reboot the phone at least every week or so because is get really sluggish. As of today i wouldn't recommend this phone even if u want three d

I've come from the Optimus 2X running MIUI and I can honestly say I don't regret getting this phone for 1 minute, I do have to admit that this phone hasn't got the developers that the O2X has got and I do miss changing roms all the time but I think it will only be a matter of time before it has. I personally think that the sgs2 is a damn good phone but I just think it feels a little plastic and fragile where as the O3D feels a little more solid.
If you can put up with the lack of updates and developers for a while, I think this phone will then get a lot better...

Exactly!
No one has even tried to port anything for O3D yet. When I had my SonyEricsson X10 and we were stuck with Android 2.1 and a locked bootloader, developers managed to port awesome ROMs. We had a fully working MIUI Gingerbread and lots of Gingerbread ROMs.
But now with O3D, not even a buggy port! Nothing at all! Not even a massively buggy MIUI port to at least taste the MIUI on our phone.
And all the current Custom ROMs that say "LG stuff is removed" are lying. For example the AcuraTeam and King3D ROM have removed the Social+ widget but you can still see the Social+ settings in the Account settings menu.
SelfKANG2 is still so buggy and needs attention but there hasn't been an update for the past three weeks. Aremcee is mainly working on Optimus 2X and Optimus Black.
I regret that I didn't buy a Galaxy S II instead of O3D.
I would recommend you to stay with the 2X a while and then decide.
O3D is a stupid buy at the moment, but since Cyanogenmod is releasing their mod in a few weeks, O3D will be much better.
We have a dual core phone using Froyo. That's like saying we have a Lamborghini with a 1.0L engine.
Froyo doesn't support dual core like it is suppose too.
The O3D has a OMAP4 chip which today is probably the best chip ever for mobile phones and other devices.
We will be able to use Linux on our phones without any big portings since there is already stable releases for different linux distros for OMAP4.
I have a O3D but I'm still using my DHD. I didn't buy my O3D for the 3D function, i bought it for the dual core, the 4.3" screen and the OMAP4 chipset.

Am aware of the power of the TI chipset and it's awesomeness. I still think that LG sucks software-wise, and that everyone will be waiting impatiently for an outdated Android version GB. Thats my big downside for choosing LGO3D

That is the main reason for me choosing the O3D over the O2X mainly because of the bigger screen and the OMAP4 and of course aremcee saying thats its a damn good phone was the final thing that made me want to change.
iam selling my optimus 3d today and getting a galaxy note...O3d is a great phone but i really dont like what LG people are doing to it..they released it as the worlds first 3d phone but they dont care about customers AFAIK..The gingerbread release in the beginning was stable but recently so many reboots associated with wifi and problems with bluetooth a2dp, the 2d camera being very very bad and then dont even have any updates planned for GB yet....my humble suggestion for LG is...only manufacture phones if u are really going to support it otherwise i dont see a point even if they make a 8core phone with a 10" display which has bad optimized software..
I loved this community very much i loved every rom of thiaiz..from the beginning i only used his roms they felt most stable for me...GOOD LUCK for everyone with O3D i hope LG realizes its mistakes and keep loyal customers like u satisfied

iam selling my optimus 3d today and getting a galaxy note...O3d is a great phone but i really dont like what LG people are doing to it..they released it as the worlds first 3d phone but they dont care about customers AFAIK..The gingerbread release in the beginning was stable but recently so many reboots associated with wifi and problems with bluetooth a2dp, the 2d camera being very very bad and then dont even have any updates planned for GB yet....my humble suggestion for LG is...only manufacture phones if u are really going to support it otherwise i dont see a point even if they make a 8core phone with a 10" display which has bad optimized software..
I loved this community very much i loved every rom of thiaiz..from the beginning i only used his roms they felt most stable for me...GOOD LUCK for everyone with O3D i hope LG realizes its mistakes and keep loyal customers like u satisfied

I have come from using iphone4 (still have it as secondary), Nokia N900 (still have it as an mp3 player). To be honest O3D is the best phone i've used so far. It has it's quirks but after GB update and Acura's 1.6ROM o/cd' to 1.235Ghz, the phone feels fantastic. My home page has all the information from time/bat temp/cpu usage/cpu current speed/memory avail/internal mem avail/ext SD mem avail, current tasks running and few other widgets.
The bat runs about 1 day and a half without issues. The benchmarks are higher than the SIIgalaxy in CF bench.
LG announced ICS update for this phone as well so we can expect some good roms from the community.
YOu can go ahead and buy other phone but you will not get 3D games/movies or recording on it.
I also checked Galaxy note, looked amazing but slower than O3D in benchmark so what's the point. I can wait for another 6 months to get a quad core based phone then.
soon i will also sell O3D coz no zooming during video recording

i tried to OC but my phone gets unstable and its having problems with signal after i updated to GB and ICS is coming but when?? more than 8 months from now..actually the main reason im getting note is because the camera of o3d is bad at 2d and i dont really have much need of 3d camera and recording except for showing off to friends because i dont own a 3dtv.And 3d gaming is just fine its not that breath taking and playing for long time in 3d is not good for eyes and it gives me headaches..so for me the 3d is only good for showing off the phone.. what i like about note is the camera, the screen, battery life and samsung updates are lot better than LG..and note has the highest benchmark after the transformer prime..the only thing which it lacks is the GPU benchmark because the resolution is too much..

Hi everyone.. LG FanBoy here .. .
From Optimus One*previous* to Optimus Black *current* and now i eyeing to purchase a new phone again.. offcourse LG
i like to play games on my phone .. a lot of time actually..
can somebody help me choose a phone between optimus 3d and optimus 2x im really confused right now what to buy..
here in our country the price of Optimus 2X is $362 while Optimus 3D is $376 ~
any suggestions what to buy this mid of April?. .
If lg will ever fix the ghost calls buy a the 3D (its a bit faster) if not, buy the x2. If you want many custom roms etc buy the x2.
If you can wait a bit buy the x4

3D...good deal for what u get..PEACE
read the ghost call thread for O3D and any issue for X2. Decide which one is lesser of an evil. I would not recommend o3d. Today in crisis situation of my car breaking down the phone kept freezing, had to restart it many times. Most times its fine but i guess under pressure it breaks down. Luckily had my old N900 with me which helped me make calls.
N900 rult so sad that mine is broken. Loved that phone

2x is better phone, shame it has got only 4 inch display, 4,3 would be better for games.
There are all kinds of roms for 2x.

Actually the O3D is usually slightly ahead 2X in most of the benchmarks when stock ROMs are considered.
Get O3D if you want to play games in 3D. Or get O3D Max for extra RAM even current RAM is enough imo.
Are you mad ? After all the software/hardware problems that both of those phones have you even consider spending any money on one of them ? If you gonna "buy/ put your money" on any phone, get something that works,keep youself away from LG phones. If you gonna get it for "free", get O3D but don't forget that this phone can't receive calls or text messages.
Like ThiaiZ said, buy neither of those.
Maybe, and I underline maybe, the Ghost calls issue is solved, and then we will have a phone nearly bug free, 9 months after its release date.
We were all beta testers for LG so far.

And what do you want to do with these benchmark results? Make a poster with it? And I'm saying that o2x have all kinds of roms, and cm9 port.
It also don't have ghost calls.
But better buy htc sensation, evo3d, or Atrix.
But o2x is quite good option and less problematic than o3d, which is really annoying. I was torn the same way, wanted bigger screen. Now i want a phone that is easier for developers (o3d is a nightmare) to have aosp. Don't make mistake, don't buy 3d crap from lg. Every other phone is better, unless you want to stick with stock roms with ghost calls.

Hold your horses. I said about stock roms, i.e., how the phones function just out of the box.
It's a well known fact that few of the average users root their phones and even fewer install custom roms. Most don't even install the official rom updates. You would be amazed how many average users keep their phones, for example, with the original Eclair even if there is an official Froyo or Gingerbread update.
As for the OP, I will suggest to get another non-LG phone. But if you want to decide solely between the O3D and the 2X, I would suggest to get the O3D if he wants to keep everything stock. Larger screen, a little faster and absolutely the best 3D than any other 3D phone/device. And better keep the stock Froyo at the moment if he doesn't want any ghost call.

Hahaha wtf your rom is great i havent had any problem with ghost calls or anything Thiaiz your roms are so great , this issue with ghosts calls maybr a carrier issue rather than the rom or phone issue I used my country rom(Mexico) with no oroblem 21a flashed since 2.5 to 2.7.1 just a few minutes ago and no ghost calls at all.
So I would recomend o3D or. O3D-Max because of the ram
By the way thx again for your work Thiaiz.

On stock both lg are crappy as hell, on o3d full hd recording is choppy. Benchmarks are artificial, don't rely on them. Only if you want compare gpu maybe. Lg o3d has only bigger screen. On stock it lags and hangs, sometimes phone don't responds when playing demanding game.
On stock i would recommend SE neo, Arc, htc sensation, Motorola atrix.
here in our country i asked a couple of folks using O3D and they said that they dont have that kind of ghost call issue.. . i think the problem came from your carrier~
i will surely install custom rom whatever phone i will get.. AFAIK O2X has a lot more great custom roms as of the moment.. but the reason why im considering O3D is for watching 3D anytime & anywhere i want.. .
with regards to HTV Evo i'd rather choose the O3D which is way cheaper than HTC and much better screen display too.. . im not into video recording too so 1080p problem with O3D is no big deal for me..
any other problems on stock rom that O3D has? please share it to this thread.. .
For me it has too little ram, or bad ram management. Eg. I was playing some games like shadowgun and the game becames laggy, and the phone stops responding and becomes hot. After couple of minutes reboot.
Also i was installing and uninstalling many apps after some time of usage stock ROM becomes very slow..
I don't have ghost call either, maybe 2 times. But many ppl around the world are complaining.
For me its a good phone, too little ram is a serious issue sometimes thou.
But there is NO ROM from aosp that can be used as a daily ROM. Only buggy cm7. The rest are stock tweaked roms. They are very good but not as fast as custom aosp ROM can be.
For me 2 huge disadvantages: ram, and no roms from aosp, miui, cm7, whatever. This phone is horrible for developers, even for CM TEAM

Same here, never get any problem with ghost call at all since the beginning even with any custom ROM.
Do NOT buy this phone. It can't receive calls or sms messages on certain times, which we never know when it happens or how long it will last (ghost calls).

i guess all depends of the money you are about to spent
and the difference of the price for 2x and 3d
i own an optimus 3d buy now i am fully ok with this one
its weak point is on 3d pictures taken on Night
or in a room with no good light
but 2d pics even on night are very good with its flash
both of them are good phones but i would prefer the 3d because only for 3d
you can choose clasic pics or 3d pics
I m satisfied,my 3d with thiaz rom work smooth and stable. I know that there s poor support:
But i don t change rom every day,and 3d support is so amazing
Hi everyone, I'm considering getting a new phone and I'd like a 3D one...

Considering that I like to constantly update the latest ROMs including CyanogenMod I wouold appreciate any advice you can give me regarding this LG and any pros cons you can think of...

3D phone ... we dont even consider HTC a 3D phone. There are many better phones (non 3D) than O3D but not EVO 3D
Being 3D frame work not open custom development with 3D is not at the highest level and LG firmware have issues.
People are experimenting with firmware of 3Dmax which have basically the same hardware to work on our O3D. If successful you will be holding in your hands one sweet piece of technology.

As cool_recep pointed out already lots of issues with LG's O3D. Good that you're doing research before buying that's what I do myself. But when the phone is just launched there isn't much information one can get. So i was suckered into buying Nokia N900 and recently O3D.
If i had waited few months like you have done, i wouldn't have made one of the biggest mistakes ever in my electronic purchases in 40 years, of buying this good piece of hardware but with the worst software support and bugs.
So a friendly advice wait just a few more weeks/months to see how the new 3Dmax is doing and if you really want a 3D phone buy it. I wouldn't ever suggest an LG phone ever. Even if it's the last company left making mobile phones i would just keep using my old phone instead of buying anything from LG. This company ignored the whole community of O3D owners for 4 months of constant complaining before even acknowledging that there was some prob like Ghost call on O3D.
Apart from ghost calls issue im happy with my O3D.

For 3D capability alone, LG wins hands DOWN! HTCs was headache-inducing. If 3D isn't the primary purpose though, something else may be better.

First of all thanks to you and everyone else who so kindly replied to my thread!Your post made me very curious and interested but im confused regarding which phone you're referring to... I do apologise as i've only started to become interested and to get to know mobile development recently so sorry if its a dum question...

Yeah I do know what you mean buut i also learnt from my mistakes... I've recently bought a samsung galaxy s plus without doing any research about it and i've got to say that i'm deeply dissapointed with the lack of software development available... Not even CM7, CM9 or Miui yet...
Though i appreciate the efforts of xda's devs who are trying to port it...
O3D is better than evo for sure!

Answering only your title question "Best 3D phone: LG or HTC?", there is absolutely no doubt that the LG is by far the best on 3D.
The HTC 3D is a joke in comparison.
I've had a LG P920 since just after release date and have been disappointed until recently. My phone always used to restart at random times when it wasn't being used, performance is a little poor compared to other devices I've had and apps have a knack of either freezing or not working such as the camera. The amount of times I missed a photo opportunity because the stupid camera won't take a picture when I press the button to take a picture. This also causes a problem when I want to use the LED flash as a torch as sometimes the flash just won't turn on.
I went for the LG because it had a slightly better camera on it and as I wanted the phone primarily to take 3D photos and videos it was the better option (I regret it now). I've also found the LG lacks 3D content on it where as the HTC I think has a film download app included on the phone.
So I would recommend not getting a 3D phone, wait for the next generation of 3D phones :
Lg optimus 3d hardware is beeter than evo 3D by far.

Thanks for your replies everyone!!!
I wasn't aware of all these issues with the LG... it's a shame coz from my reasearch it seems to have better 3D capability than the HTC, however, that's not worth much if it keeps letting you down...
btw, are there any news of any upcoming 3D phones (or this so-called next generation)?
That would be really great and I'm aware theres a second model from LG coming out soon, the P720, but not sure when or whether it's really worth waiting; from the specs it seems the only thing improved was the CPU from 1000mhz to 1200mhz...
Maybe it will improve on the issues mentioned by FC360 of features constantly crashing...
All feedback is welcome!
Thanks
o3d's/thrill's hardware is one of the best in dual cores !!
it is the best portable media player i've owned, plays every media file you throw at it !
hdmi out is excellent !
almost everyone complains about the ghost calls/messages, but till now i didnt have a single issue with it (v21d baseband) !
it is just the lack of software support that pulls the optimus 3d back !
but ics has been officially confirmed by lg for the optimus 3d !
even we may get ics when it is released for 3d max
which would be much much earlier than the one lg officially releases for the o3d !

More or less an opinion.
Granted; I've only owned the Optimus, but I've owned many other HTC phones before and many smartphones(apple, lg, samsung, etc)
This LG has satisfied me the most out of everyone I have ever had, why? The price. This phone cost me $200 and I get better performance than some people's $400 phones. If you are willing to pay the extra bit of money, hell, get a HTC. But for $200, the O3D is a great phone. I'm in no way denying the ghost call/ghost sms issue, but I personally haven't experienced it owning this phone since release and using stock roms for most of that time. it's got a decent camera, good 3D capability(despite that not being a remote selling point to me) fast processor, and good build quality. Something I noticed when I pickup up a Samsung device 3 times the cost of mine, is it felt so unbelievably cheap. LG has good build quality from my experience.
Not to say the HTC isn't a good phone, because I've liked every HTC phone I've had too, but for the price an O3D cannot be beat.
As for me with no problem with Ghost call etc, I'd go for O3D. If you have a problem with GB, then stick with Froyo.
I think Chainfire3D cannot use on ICS. If that the case, even if ICS release for O3D, I'll stay with current ROM.
I will tell you what i say to my customers.
If you like 3D its ok.
If you dont care about 3D and not gonna use it buy a Samsung.
Sent from my LG P-920 using ghost call method...
exept 3D , the O3D has good performance with custom roms in a common use
I owe an O3D, and im totally satisfied with the hardware (only custom ROM's can make it work properly and smooth) but if you check strictly the stats EVO got better,
1gb ram over 512
540 x 960 over 480 x 800
1.2ghz over 1ghz
But anyways the 3D world on O3D is way lot better
