nyways micromax is also launchin its andriod based phone but i got to knw t8 it has resistive touchscreen...so i dont think it will be upto the mark!!

never get a resistive screen. Most phones these days have the same amount of ram and with apps2sd i doubt you will run out of space.
get the desire

Hi!
I would also suggest you a Samsung Galaxy.
Or if you want to go with HTC, the HTC Desire sounds like a good choice!

another for galaxy great phone and great custom roms

Lg optimus 3d 2 (cx2)

The replacement for our P920 is very close,
Running a OMAP 1.2GHZ Soc.
1.3 forward Camera
and 2mm thinner.
Check out the link below
http://www.slashgear.com/lg-cx2-optimus-3d-2-teased-in-press-photos-23210380/

yeah saw it here:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-C...ging-back-3D-to-the-mainstream-at-MWC_id26181
i seriously doubt the specs though....its very similar to our phone....it should be a bigger improvement imo

Yeah, take a look at the optimus x3 Hardware. (Comming with ICS)
So why should i buy the 3D 2 with GB which is so simliar to the 3D?
Gesendet von meinem LG-P925 mit Tapatalk

gotta ask a question here....if the hardware was similar enough....would it be possible to use its rom on our phone(just an idea came to my mind) if yes then its ok if it came with similar specs since we are gonna benefit from it

Seems like same omap just overclocked.

Who in the WORLD would buy another LG phone? Worst support ever, no updates, no developers, nothing?
It doesn't matter if it got the best hardware, we have no developers for our phone and I would DOUBT that the next generation would.
Go for a samsung. The 9100 is better than our phone in every way. The next Galaxy S3 will be better than the next O3D in every way.
Developer = Everything.
Just a heads up, the next generation of smartphones will have quadcore. And LG goes for a... dualcore? Smart..

If the upgrade is worth it I'll definately buy the new O3D and by worth it I mean quadcore, 1GB+ ram, higher res cam, bigger and/or higher res screen.
If the upgrade is not worth it I'll just stick with my O3D until probably the end of the year because I'm absolutely satisfied with my problem free phone (no lag at all ever, no performance issues, no instability, no signal loss, no reboots, no battery problems).

Even if LG releases an... 8core with 4GB+ RAM and fullHD screen and all the most advanced hardware in the world, it will mean nothing if they don't decide to seriously optimize the software for it.
I mean we got one of the best Android phones, regarding the hardware specs, on the market today. It's simply unacceptable that sometimes the phone lags even on simple tasks or that the with the GB update many people are noticing ghost phone calls/texts and loss of connectivity, just because the LG engineers didn't properly test/optimize the software.

We have just to developers. When you look at thread of i9100 you can see at least 10 developers working on roms. AND they are getting ICS lot earlier.
We have Thiaiz who is really great but he has to work with reallly bad LG software.

Don't ever forget that those ICS ports on other devices comes from leaked ICS builds from manufactures. If LG leak an early ICS build I could develope it, but there is LG problem, they don't do like others and they don't care about their customers. So let's wait for ICS in September.

Sup mate, how r u doing? I don't think either, but this is the only way we gonna taste ICS on O3D before October.

Cant we port ICS from phones who have a similar chipset e.g Galaxy Nexus

Sorry the new 3D phone from LG is nothing more than a recycled optimus 3D just made thinner. I doubt that it would have serious improvements compared to the optimus 3d.
And seriously GB on release no thanks. If the new sony xperia S were a bit sooner there I would get it.
For the moment I just got my hands on a brand new Galaxy Note N7000 in ceramic white and hope to be happy with it for the next time.
So I am saying goodbye to LG after 2 optimus phones (2x and 3d).
The optimus 3D is a serious device. It can do everything but the only feature that is really its territory is the 3D display and camera which I find superb.
I am going to miss shooting in 3d .

I have a coworker in the same situation, he is selling his O3D for buying a galaxy note. Got tired of waiting for the empty promises by LG. The only reason I still have my O3D is 3D functions, I love them.

After the x2 and now the O3D the x3 will be my next lg device. I'm happy with Lg, didn't use their crap software much but lg, why didn't get the O3D 2 the Same Hardware as the x3? I think i will miss the 3D but theres no reasen to buy the O3D 2 if you have the O3D

They haven't done anything with the O3D1 yet, why bring out an O3D2 so soon?

Try EVO, I have Galaxy S plus and its awesome, but when it comes to ROMS, doesn't have really much. Search the forums for these phones' ROMS and make your choice

s2 international version

HTC EVO 3D, I have this smartphone and it's awesome

I've had a lot of success with Samsung phones. I currently own a Nexus S and probably will be switching to the next Nexus, after the Galaxy Nexus.

Galaxy S2 i9100 is the best! or wait for S3 but it costs more than you want to.. imho..

HTC
for the sheer joy of using HTC phones running ahead with Android

Hey...sorry for that,but i have an problem.
The HTC EVO 3D doesn't disponible in my country
I want to buy an LG x2 or an samsung galaxy s plus.
I think i choose lg x2.What do you think?
What is the best of the two? Not snap out of the qualities both of you, I know them, and who is knowledgeable will answer imediat.As I want to meet someone that has LG's because there's more I know and realize what he could.
Like I said, I find a good deal lg x2

I own a galaxy s plus. It's a great phone but as said earlier, it doesn't have a lot of custom ROM's or ICS. But if that doesn't bother you, you should get it.
I personally don't know much about the LG X2 but from a review I just read they say it's a good phone but the call quality is crap..

My first cell phone is LG, it's white (it was stolen), it's good to use, so I think LG is nice.

For €300 you can get Huawei Ascend P1. It's is slim and fast.
Also check out Atrix 2,and a galaxy s advance.
Dunno if the s2 is in your budget.

[Q] Used LG P500, roughly how much?

Hi there,
My LG P500 recently got hard bricked and I can't bring it back to life with multiple combinations and methods. I have brought it somewhere and they have told me they can try something, if it works I have to pay £15 if it doesn't I take my phone away.
I don't know if it's worth it, I'm probably better off being another one, used of course. Anyone know roughly how much it is worth paying for a used LG P500 these days?
Cheers.

Here in Toronto, used P500s are in the range of $40-$60. If you're in the market for a phone, you could put in a little more money and get a better used phone - the P500 is unfortunately getting old.

I've checked on GSM Arena and LG P500 in terms of the stats is a very good phone for the price, which other phones could you recommend which is a bit more expensive but worth it? Must be same size screen as P500 or bigger.

For around $80-$100, you can get a Galaxy S Captivate/Vibrant (The first Galaxy Phones).
For approximately $150, you can get a Galaxy Ace 2x.
They're both popular ARMv7 phones, with active development communities. They're pretty good replacements for the P500.

No,Try LG OPTIMUS 2X (4“ screen ) ,exellent phone of their time & its first dual core phone in world
Or simply go for Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070,(4“ screen & 16 Gb internal memory ) exellent phone in midrange catagory.
Both above phones have same battery (1500mAh) and same screen size also.

I know from the prices you have quoted, it is meant to mean that maybe the Galaxy Ace 2 is a better phone, but if you look at the link above, the Galaxy S Captivate/Vibrant is really good also, it has Adobe Flash support which the other one doesn't ect.. But thanks for the advice, I'm going to leave the idea of getting P500 for the moment and try and pick between these two model phones.

Put me in a real dilemma here, that's 3 good phones recommended there, all within about the same price range. I will have to pick them apart after work and see which one I want to get.
From what I can see at the moment is that the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 has a lot more features and support than the Galaxy Ace 2
GT-I8160. The Galaxy S i9000 has WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML, Adobe Flash support, DivX support which the Ace 2 doesn't.
The LG Optimus 2X has the Adobe Flash support along with DivX/XviD support, 2nd camera and 1080p video filming.
I'm leaning towards the LG Optimus 2X atm, but I've got to look in to it later, anymore suggestions?
