Optimus G pre order page is up!

Well, for the apparently small number of us that care, you can now pre order the Optimus on sprints website. I just placed an order for mine. Super happy to be ditching my Evo 3D. Now hopefully we can get some people together to crack the boot loader.
I just saw that you can get it for 149 on wire fly with a two year contract but I bought mine full price from Sprint. No contract for me.

just ordered mine from wirefly
are we supposed to be getting the phone on the 10th or 12th?
the 11th falls on a sunday

No idea...hopefully the 10th.

Sprint's site suggests that it should come before the 11th "Pre-order: Order online today! We'll charge your card for your phone and do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Sunday, November 11."
Wirefly says that they are shipping them on November 11.
I'd rather save the $50 and order from Wirefly. What's 3-4 more days when you've waited 2 years?

Where's the white one??

Ordered mine from Sprint today in hopes that I receive it on the 10th, maybe even the 9th...

If LG doesn't unlock the bootloader, will it be hard for devs to unlock it themselves? Considering that i has the same hardware as the Nexus 4.

why get this phone over the GS3 or the GN2??? just curious, the Optimus G don't even come close to the GS3/GN2..

Come close in what? It has a faster processor and arguably better screen along with being a little smaller. Probably a better camera (more mp anyway on the sprint version), more solid build quality... i feel like i'm forgetting something.

you guys are crazy...

Uh yes it is. Every review compares it to the Galaxy S3 and says it is considerably faster, which you can literally see. Also, yes, I do concede that LG has made some bad phones in the past, but so did HTC before the nexus one and Samsung before the Galaxy S (the behold and moment were awful). Reviewers said this could be the rise of LG and I happen to agree. Great looking hardware, great screen, amazing processor, top of the line specs. It doesn't need gimmicky features like sbeam which require people to have the same phone (how many people do you know with an S3? If they don't have one, that feature is moot). Camera, I don't really care about, but reviewers said it is about on par with the One X and GS3. The date for JB isn't exact but they said Q4 and if I remember correctly, lg has been more accurate with their software promises than Samsung, who promised my device Gingerbread in July of last year, but didn't even roll it out until November. Smemo, who cares? And the Optimus has a very similar feature, I forget the name of it, but they've shown how in many situations, like in a call, you can press a button and write down a phone number or address for example. Multitasking is more or less the same. The recent apps UI is the same, unlike HTC's, and it also has Qslide, which is similar to pop up play, but you can adjust the transparency and opacity with a slider so you can decide which window you want to be able to see more clearly. No microsd is a bummer, but so is pentile and terrible cheap plastic build quality.

Thanks for the link. It just made my buying decision easier. Especially this part:
"...As it stands, this is the fastest Android phone we've tested. According to our benchmarks, performance can sometimes be almost double that of phones like the Galaxy S III..."

Whoever gets their tracking number first should post the date of expected delivery so the rest of us know ASAP! I feel like a kid at Christmas, but in all fairness I've grown tired of getting my Epic refurb'ed and it has become very unstable and constantly reboots itself.(Gets worse after every hard reset so no fixing it =/)

Man the GS3 is tiny...

I had no idea how used to the big screen of the Note 2 I had become. I bought my wife the Galaxy S3 for Christmas and was amazed how tiny a 4.8" screen now looks after using the N2 for a month. I can't even imagine using that phone now, much less a miniature IPhone 5. Strange how the mind works.

I feel the same way. Went to install a transfer a couple of files to my girlfriend's S III last night and was surprised at the size difference, even though the Note II doesn't feel all that large to me (it fits in my hands pretty well and I find it much easier to type on).

Definitely agree with this. Went to do something with my old iphone the other day and felt like I was using some strange ancient device. Or maybe more akin to a child's plaything

imagine how I feel looking at my vibrant lol zoolander phone

Isnt it crazy? I went from the i1..3..3g..4..4s then S3 looked huge... to the note 2 that seemed gigundai and now the note 2 seems the norm. Same thing with tvs though... sucks to go backwards but what is worse is when you get use to each they seem the norm so why not jjst stay small?

Because staying small isn't practical for a lot of people, me included. When the iPhone first came out, it was the first mainstream device of its kind, and technology didn't support anything bigger. As time has gone on and technology has grown, we're making larger screens feasible. A big complaint of mine for a long time, was how small various device screens were. But, again, anything larger wasn't practical so you accepted it. I would never want to go back to 3.5" - 4.3". I would cry a million tears if that became the norm. I need the screen real estate for all the games, internet, and video I do on my phone.

This phone ruined every other phone out there for me lol
I went to an ATT store the other day and i couldnt believe how tiny every other phone is.

I agree with everyone. My old phone is a HTC HD2 and when I pick it up to look at it, it looks so tiny. I love the Note 2. I think people who bypass the Note because they see it and are like "that's way to big for a phone" just need to spend a few days or a week with it and I bet they won't go to back to a smaller phone. Also agree with the tv comment. I had a 32" and thought it was perfect size. Then I was looking for a new tv and thought I would get a little bit bigger tv. Was looking at the 52" tv thinking that is way to big. Guess what? Looks completely normal. And when I go to someone's house and am watching something their tv seems so small, even if its in the 40" range. Weird how our mind can change your way thinking and make you into a hypocrite.:laugh: Ex. Me saying I would never own or want a phone that big as I type this from a phone this big lol.
I think in the near future you will see people with a 7" phone. Don't know if it would go past that but who knows.

My entire gs2 is smaller than the screen alone on this thing. Awesome.
-Easier than it sounds, harder than it looks.-

Wait until next yr, if the rumors are true about the GN3 being 6.3". All of you will be saying the same about the GN2. Lol

Lol two years ago I had the OG Evo (4.3) went down to an (4.0) Cappy. Back in April bought the HOX (4.7). NOW!, every time I pick up either phone I feel like I'm going to drop them as if they're premature babies "not fully developed". I don't believe I'll ever own a phone les than5 inches again. I do feel that anything over 6 will be overkill!

Should I upgrade?

s4 looks nice, but out of my budget. Nexus 4 was definitely about to win, until I found out it had no expandable memory. Such a serious shame, as it looks beautiful. What I'm left with is either stick with S2 or swap for S3?
I JUST switched to TMO a few weeks ago because I was in dire needs of a phone as my EVO 4g crapped out on me and I was tired with sprint. So now that I'm in a slightly better financial situation, I'm curious to ask if you guys had the option to swap out your s2 for the s3 right now without incurring any other charges besides paying the difference on the down payment, would you do it?

Thing is, you get the phones financed with 0 interest on tmobile now, why not just get a gs4. Give a bigger down payment and so the payments are a bit smaller, then if you got the money down the road, just give more money towards the phone. So its not too out of reach i would think, is what in doing with my new phone.

Then what i would personally do is maybe save, i mean the gs4 is not an extremely huge leap from the gs3, and look almost the same physically, but you know, it is still better. That's what i am doing. Saving to give a at least 50% of total value down payment on my next phone (350 or so, and still deciding between gs4 or HTC one) so monthly payments are less. Besides you still have time to save the buckaroos, neither phone is yet available on T-Mobile

I personally would go for the GS4 and save money up for it. The new screen will be more battery efficient and much more awesome, + it will probably get one more update than the GS3. For example I read a leaked Samsung update road map which basically said the S2 will stay with 4.2.2 but the S3 will get Key Lime Pie
I understand Key Lime Pie hasn't even been out yet and this is pure speculation, however the newer phones will almost get more support, especially with the S3 selling so well and being such a high profile success. Does this make sense?
If you extend my "logic" to the S3 and S4, probably the S3 will get two updates, like the S2, and if the S4 gets two updates as well it will be one version ahead of the S3.
New software always extends the life of a phone until the next hardware upgrade.

[Q] galaxy s3

Is anyone planning on switching to the galaxy s3 for virgin mobile? It looks pretty awesome, but it's a little expensive (although not as much as an unlocked phone). Any flaws with it?

I definitely want one, if there's a phone worth upgrading to from the One V than the s3 is it! The only other phone that has newer specs is the Samsung Victory, but it's chunky and meh when it comes to looks, plus the screen and camera aren't much of an upgrade, so screw that. Anyway, I'm never ever buying a phone from Virgin Mobile unless it's during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, I got screwed when I bought the Optimus V, Optimus Elite, and One V at close to retail when they ended up having them for $49.99 at every BF/CM sale, so just wait until then. I remember the s2 went from $299.99 to $199.99-239.99 around that time, so I wonder how much the s3 will be on special...
Edit: As far as the phone itself goes, the s3 is a fantastically balanced phone with no real drawbacks. I've never been a real fan of samsung's plastic and roundish designs, but they are pretty durable and you can take the back cover off easily for battery replacement and repairs. I'm also looking to upgrade my sd card to a fast 64gb capacity card since the s3 is able to use them. Anyway, the only real question is how well 4G LTE coverage will be by then...

Man, just thinking about a rooted s3, with a pure no nonsense JB ROM, modding and adding performance tweaks, not to mention the overclocking potential gets me drooling... :victory: I hope they give it a nice discount come November since I just bought a new laptop and 399.99 plus tax seems too steep for me at the moment.

My daughter has one..... She's not into rooting or deving but she's had it since it was available to virgin mobile and loves it, 4g is really iffy around here

No... Not officially covered that's why it's iffy

I already switched a d got one with cricket its really amazing, totally glad I got it, its a huuuuuge improvement to be honest. rooted it day one, put carbon on and never looked back I wasn't happy with virgin's service which they could never fix, for some reason I would never get calls, just voice mails, over three phones and 100s of complaints. so I don't regret the carrier switch.

Hmmm... It would have definitely been an upgrade from the one v, but I wouldn't say it's on quite the same level... On virgins website it says it has android 4.0 and a 1.2 ghz dual core which is good but the 4g is wimax not LTE so that's an older slower technology plus the gs3 has an amoled display that's bigger and more vibrant so I'm just not sold but for 200 it's still way better than the one v so I really hope you like it

for the roms, instead of being gsm or cdma, they go by carrier so if you get the virgin you guys will all most likely start from scratch. its an amazing phone though, I'm on nodded touchwiz right now, but I've tried carbon, chameleon and pretty much all the others the cricket variant had to offer. most Roms are rock solid too.

look up hyperdrive rls14 that's the one most people use. but like I said, its by carrier, Sammy makes their handsets different for each carrier, so there won't be anything at all for virgin until people get it and start building for it.

look up hyperdrive rls14 that's the one most people use. but like I said, its by carrier, Sammy makes their handsets different for each carrier, so there won't be anything at all for virgin until people get it and start building for it.

Oh yeah that rom looks nice, I'm hoping it's simple to port from one carrier to ours and just make an mms fix zip for it or something, I was reading up a little to see what they have so far... but I really wish I could get it soon!!

right now, the verizon variant is almost identical to cricket and us cellular's so I'm thinking virgin's will fall in that cluster as well...Roms will still need to be ported, but it'll just be a tad easier.

But I only just got my LGOG

I picked up my OG used on eBay for $160 a month ago. I had minimal expectations. I shattered my GS3 and with no warranty and a full year of contract left before my upgrade I needed something affordable and still high-end-ish. I settled on this mostly because of it's quad processor and 13 mp camera [a camera which I to this day had maybe 20 minutes of actual fully functional use of] I was crazy apprehensive of going to a phone with no removal battery or sd slot. These were some of the things I loved the most and lorded them over my iPhone touting friends. But here I was. Me! Knowing my download limitations waaaay in advance. Me! Unable to just pull the cover off and tap the battery out to fix sudden crashes. It was madness at it's finest.
Then suddenly I started to grow to love this thing. The thin, light-weight body. The bright screen. The native (non-Samsung) Android menu key positions. The modest xda community. Something about having a device that next to no one knows about is refreshing.
This device makes me feel like I have some non-amazing super powers just waiting to bust out.
Now if only I could get some damned 4G around here....

Or an official update to the latest JB

Thanks! Yea, no regrets here. I work at a ****ty Staples selling phones, and my only prior LG smartphone experience was with the LG L9 which is a massive pile. Definitely a diamond in the rough here.

Very cool man. This here phone of ours is a beast and based on specs, might be future proofed for some time yet. It certainly won't compete on a raw power basis with some of what's rolling off assembly lines even today, but it will be able to run just about everything we throw at it competently for quite some time.

you dont have to pull the battery off to fix sudden crashes... because it will never happen
got mine for 2 months now, no regret

Yea outside of a boot loop or two when flashing I've never had a crash. I regularly had them with my old Epic 4g touch and S3. Confidence?

I got this phone off contract for $210 a few months ago. I still think it is the best available phone on Sprint and there is nothing in the pipeline I am aware of (for Sprint) that would make me switch.

I know right!
The day before i traded an evo 3d for a iphone 4s with 9 months of applecare+ and apple gave me a brand new one the next day

Welcome! This is a great phone!

I just got my lgog and I'm loving it. I've had it for a week and upgraded from an og evo that wasn't really so mobile anymore. Somehow a capacitor blew on my motherboard so my phone would last randomly between 20 minutes and 2 hours, randomly shut off when battery showed 40-80% so I was tethered to my charger lol. Oh well this phone is amazing. I rooted and unlocked it the day after I got it haha

Got mine yesterday, 170 bucks. clean esn, all the plastic on it still, cords/tags/etc still sealed.
guy was leaving sprint and wanted to get some quick money

i tried to earlier. my main desktop is out of commission until i get a new PSU, my current computer is single core 2gb and takes more than 20 mins to compile a kernel (im used to under 4). when i get it back up and running ill consider doing a stock based kernel (i have yet to find a reason to flash aosp on my device) and ill see how im feeling then.

I know what you mean I'm still on stock and its really fast. I'm used to touchwiz and never really noticed how slow it really was until I got this phone.
