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?

After a lot of time with the N97 and a lot of nerves I decided to buy my first Android device.
The first problem is that I replace a device every 3 years.
The second problem is: after hours in Wikipedia, YouTube and reading reviews I really dont know yet what to choose .
The devices I could think of are:
Galaxy s2 - the best but the most expensive 520€.
Optimus 3D - is it wise to buy the first device that supports 3D? 560€
Optimus 2X - Most worthwhile but two more years will not be old? 399€
HTC Sensation - Do not know him. 560€
What do you recommend?
I advise you to wait for the nexus 3, the n97 should be able to hang on.

the nexus 3 will arrive to my country 1 year after the Launching and the price will be overrated.
I fly next week to italy and I want to buy the cellphone there.
there are really big different between the phones I wrote and the nexus 3?
Get the galaxy S2, also 3D is way overrated. You don't need it at all.
In my opinion 3d on a smartphone is useless, but it depends on personal preference and tastes.
I like lg phones on the hardware side but not on the firmware/software side (too buggy from what I tried, lg takes forever to update their phone's os, etc)...
The Sensation is a great phone, but I like the Samsung more.
If I were you I would buy the S2 (if the high price tag isn't a big problem for you).

And with Samsung giving the Cyanogen Mod developers a phone, it will be interesting to follow the future of this phone.
In your place I would buy a Galaxy S2 Because this smartphone in my opinion is the best device with Android at the moment.
Wait for the new Nexus!
Yup all the way for the galaxy s2, I am a proud user of the galaxy s and it is just great. the possibilities of the phone are just great. And I just love to customize my phone, Roms etc..
Hello,
I'm not very keen on starting this kind of thread, but comparative information is pretty scarce on the internet.
I'm planning on getting my girlfriend an Android phone soon and I'm stuck between these 3 models due to my budget:
1. Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini
2. Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570
3. Motorola BackFlip
The Xperia was what she originally saw and liked, but in my opinion its not very good. The Samsung appears to be the safest bet, and the Motorola is something i've just seen 10 minutes ago and seems very good on paper (hardware-wise) but that screen seems too small and the keypad is not something she (or i) would like very much. Plus that flip mechanism i'm sure will not last very long.
Now i turn to you, the community, for opinions. I'm a bit stuck between these. Any input would be great!
Thanks!

Best : Able to overclocked to 800mhz
3. Backflip... I tink is lame...
But for a budget hvga fone, i recommended optimus one or x8...

Thank you for your reply. I know about Optimus One and it is superior to those 3 that i've mentioned. Unfortunately it's $35 US more expensive than my budget (my budget being what those 3 cost). This is a spontaneous decision and there is not a lot of money to be spent. She doesnt care that much about the technical side but she would enjoy the apps and everything and i could certainly help her discover more about Android. She prefers the smaller devices as well. So no optimus one.
I might just end up with the samsung. Im still not sure.

My wife has a backflip, I got it for her in July and its been durable but broken a few otterbox cases (just the front piece). The best rom has been cyanogen mod 7.1 even tho it frequently freezes it has performed way better than the stock 1.5 & 2.1 that Motorola provides. If a good phone is above your budget, just spend the extra lil bit. It'll be worth it in the end.

Hello there
I'd need to buy a new phone (cause I lost my Lg Optimus One ) and I need your suggestions... I'm gonna buy a new phone for my b-day (late October) and I can do two main things right now: buy another medium-low (about 200 euros) phone like my old Optimus one or buy a medium-high phone for 300 euros or little bit more...
As far as the 200 euros phone I'm thinking about the LG Optimus Net and the ZTE Skate which with his 4.3 inches display and 800 Mhz CPU seems spectacular for its price...
For the medium phone I'm studying the Samsung Galaxy S (new at about 340 euros), the Optimus Black (new about 370 euros) or Huwaei Vision (still unpriced)...
I loved so much my O1 even if it wasn't a goddish phone, so my question is: what do you suggest me to buy? Another Optimus One @ 150 euros? Or is worth spending 50/100/150 euros more for a much better device?
Thanks in advance to all that will give a **** about me

Htc Desire no?
But of your options I go to Galaxy S, cheaper than lg and bigger community! You have a lot of things to galaxy S, roms kernels support from a good community. I had the pleasure to use galaxy S for a few days and it's awesome. Try miui on it.

Yeah, I've tought about Desire too (original one not S or HD), but I'm afraid about the last ginger update which doesn't seem to be perfect at all...
Anyway I think that the best shot for my budget will probably be the Galaxy S unless the ZTE is awesome and sold at a ~200 euros price...

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..

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.

Hey guys, I believe this is my first post.
I've had a Nexus S 4G since last March and Sprint is telling me that I'm eligible for an upgrade. My wife doesn't seem to want to get a new phone so I'm thinking about giving her my Nexus S and getting a new one for me.
I'm looking at the LG Optimus G and the Galaxy Nexus. The biggest thing drawing me to the GNex is it's fairly similar to the Nexus S, and I love that phone. Would just like the GNex for the faster processor and more space. The Optimus G looks interesting because it seems to be the CDMA version of the Nexus 4, but the glass casing and terrible LG updates are making me second guess.
I've also noticed the the development for the Optimus seems stale, maybe since it's so new. Where on the other side, I already know that the development for the GNex is huge.
Thoughts, opinions, flames, whatever you want to bring to the table, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Okay, after some research and finding out that the Optimus G does not have a removable battery, that one is definitely off the table.
I seriously may consider the GS3. I just love the Nexus devices so much though. The GNex seems to me like a Nexus S on steroids.
I'll see. Gonna go look at some tonight and see what kind of deals people have. I know the old lady wants a GS3 so I may surprise her with one.
only android?
or you are looking for something else?
you cant go wrong with a gs3..and if you wanna root and mod it,this is the place to be with your gs3
bear in mind also if u plan to use LTE support, different country, uses different band and make sure u get the right phones, i got an LG optimus, and my provided provide a different LTE band... suck...
go for Galaxy Nexus you won't regret it.
Well the galaxy nexus gsm version is the best phone I used so far. But I heard bad things about the CDMA version such as potentially poor signal, much slower official updates compared to the gsm version and less battery life. Don't forget the Galaxy Nexus will have the widest variety of third party os roms such as firefox and upcoming Ubuntu and Tizen.
The Galaxy S3 might be a better choice if you don't need as cutting edge roms and updates though. It has excellent camera, microsd slot, longer battery, slightly better screen and beret sound quality (either the us or international version). I'm disappointed with the built quality though and the Nexus built is definitely better even if not great. Also you should read the thread about many people getting sudden death issue with their 16gb S3 due to failed nand, but I guess you're okay if you have sprint warranty.
