Hey all, seeing as how Wirefly has posted the g2x for being 149.99 on pre-order, I was wondering if it was worth it to jump on the bandwagon quickly, or just wait till the reviews come out. The deal ends on Friday if I am not mistaken, so i just wanted the forums advice;
would you think i should wait for the reviews to come out?
do the pre-order devices generally have a worse build quality compared to a month later purchase? (I know that some people said that the g2 hinge got better as htc improved the hinge over time, but i doub thtat)
Thanks alot!
EDIT: mod, please delete this thread, i didnt know ther was an optimus 2x thread, ill move it to there
Pre order just means you are waiting in line for it
Generally, after reading about many devices, never buy it the first time around. Wait a good month or two and read reviews.

so i take it that the htc didnt make the hinge stronger over time? (as absurd as it sounds)
I got mine early as well except I walked into the store and got it. I haunt had any hinge problems.

Never pre-order, especially LG products.
The phone might turn out to be a ****ty phone.

Idk?? Ive seen some phones (on youtube) that have ****ty hinges.. ive never had an issue. And why not preorder?? You have a buyers remorse period for a reason.. use it. The only reason id wait is to see development support for a phone. But since cyanogen said he was gettin at G2 i knew id be good.

dude you need to check other threads first and ask there rather then just making new threads. this subject has already been spoken about. it is apparently about a 2 week wait for them to ship/for buyer to receive item and they dont really update you well on the status
Just be patient. I ordered from first batch. Took a week but I had no issues.

Got mine from them - no problems at all...
No problems here..the phone froze when I first booted it up and required a battery pull (just a bug in the early ICS builds I assume)...updated, rooted, and no problems since.
I ordered mine from there the last time around. It took a while to show up (seemed like forever!), but it did show. And I've been happily ever after since.
Got mine from them. I bought last minute so mine was last to ship. Was a UK Korean model. Some earlier batches that shipped from them were from china but other than not getting a Chinese one, it was brand new. Seal wasn't even broken. They just take forever. Don't cry when you don't get amazon service and you will get a very good deal.

I'll rather order from Amazon if your in the states. Since Amazon have their "Fulfilled By Amazon " which means its already here in the states for faster shipping.
Order it on Tuesday. Got it Wednesday morning .. that's with overnight shipping, they have free two day if you sign up for Amazon prime .. I only paid $626

I know this is pretty stupid, but I purchased the OG pro at full retail price 22 days ago. I called at&t to see if I could exchange the black for the white and they would not budge. I know they have their 14 day policy but they can't make an exception? I even talked to a supervisor and he was pretty uselss.
LGOGP must be selling poor
Who knows, it seems like LG Optimus G Pro is selling poorly ... I've picked up one in white this morning for 400$ + tax at AT&T retail store. I thought it is selling at 439$, but the CSR showed me the screen (kind of didn't wanted to sell it for 400$ thinking that is mistake).

400 before taxes is a good deal but it must be in store only because online it still shows 439.99.

Is it a flip cover? You can still see the front if it's not. White looks so classy I would definitely do it if I could but I got my phone about a month and a half ago
Couple pics for anyone wondering what the actual white AT&T pro looks like.

Heres the deal. The reason u got the phone for 400.00, as did I, is because of the new upgrade feature they are running. At&t next. I bought lg og pro for 400.00, and htc one for 540.00! Saved 100.00 bucks. The at&t rep told me i got a deal, and that they werent supposed to sale them to me for that price, unless i was due for a 12 month upgrade. Hell im not even an at&t customer! I use these phones on my straight talk sim.
Anyways, hope that cleared up the price confusion. If i were u guys looking to buy a phone right out.....i would jump on this before at&t fixes the price in their system.
Edit.....there is no sales tax here in montana, so i paid 400.00 straight up.

So, you are saying that the system is confusing the price with the price for the "Next" thingie that they've announced. Ha!
I can't complain for the 400$ price, but at the same time got me worried; it seemed to me that ATT is trying to clear the stock so the they can discontinue the product. I know, it doesn't make any sense, especially now that they've released the white one and G2 is on the horizon, but sometimes ATT is weird player.
Anyhow, in june i got the black one, but i've returned it because i didn't like the color (hate fingerprints everywhere). Now that i have the color that i like, i guess i'll stick with it ... But this price weirdness confused me, to be honest ...

Ya, thats what the sales rep told me. Lol. Im sure the glitch will b fixed soon, thats y i bought both phones when i did. Lol. I always had a htc ONE, but i recently sold it, so i got another. I love both of these phones. The LG screen is amazing. Especially for watching videos. And the ONE build quality, is hands down "the best". I will eventually sale one, and keep the other. Im really hoping development will kick off for this og pro, cuz i really love it. One would think at the 400.00 price tag, we would have a ton of users, and development.

I hear ya. I had a SGS4 from bestbuy before the black LGOGP i had, and i've noticed some crush on the black color while watching movies. I saw the same thing on their floor display and on the ATT's floor display too. So, i've chickened out and returned it. Bestbuy didn't charge me restocking fee, that was good ... The point i'm trying to make is, the screen on LGOGP is absolutely the best one in my experience. Hopefully the CM10.1 port will get ironed out soon ...

Ya, that would b nice. But im not a cm guy. I like this stock rom, and i liked the hyperdrive sgs4 rom for the s4 a lot. Its a stock look and feel rom, with all the features, plus a whole lot of extra features. Im not willing to give up the features in this stock rom, hopefully soon, we will see a stock based rom, with extra features, and mods.

This thread cost me $35. I just bought a black one Aug. 17th. I found out from here a week later that they carry white now. I had asked them if they were going to come out with a white one and they told me no.

I would use that against them. I had an lgog an asked before I Vichy it over three phone if they had a phone bigger coming sun that wasn't as pricey as the note 2 and was told no. 1 week later g pro came. I called and complained plus the Lady saw the log. Sent me this bad boy and a return box for the lgog.

Ok guys, so far there have been some ROM improvements but no real aosp roms for our variant. I knew I should have went gsm instead. So I'm going to drop by tmobile tomorrow and see what they can do about putting me into a LG G4. I wish Bliss would release something for our variant.
I tried the g4 and traded it in after 7 days. It was not the same caliber phone as the s6. The one i had was plagued with the unresponsive touch screen. There is a topic about it here on xda among the g4 catagories. Just a warning or heads up from my experience. Good luck.

Yea I had one for a few weeks and a dam sprint software bug kept making me lose wifi every week. I went through 2 replacements and they gave me this 64gb S6. I heard they fixed the software bug and now I want the g4 back. I may go for the note 5 idk. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
