just got the optimus for sprint and was wondering how different it is from the optimus one?
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk
Some on XDA claim it's the same phone...
reality is that I find I have to use this forum and another forum so I can have meaningful information to tweak this phone. (it should have it's own sub-forum...)
Yeah, I just got mine in the mail the other day. I am coming from an HTC Hero which had AMAZING support on these forums, so I am lost looking for help with my Optimus.

I just swapped out my HTC Hero for an Optimus S... let's get a forum started here and we can start modding it IMO, this thing doesn't even need modding to be good. Aside from all the bloat Sprint installed, it's already better than the Hero.
I snagged a brand new Optimus S on eBay so that I can save my upgrade credit in the hopes that Sprint will come out with a dual core baddy later this year.
I am suprised this place and androidforums don't have a specific forum on this phone. This is my first android, coming from a BB 8330 (which I LOVE).
I would definately be interested in a specific forum for rooting, messing with my new phone. I guess I'll just play with it as is for a while.
Android central has a better forum for the optimus s.. check them out.

At this point, there are 2 roms in active development and a recovery image available over there...

I bought Optimus One in March (from India. I live in India) and I regret that since I knew that high-end android devices are available at a much cheaper rate like the nexus one was available in the US for about the same price as I bought my Optimus One.
Anyone else regret on buying this device?

Nexus one was never sold at the cost of Optimus one. Not even now. I don't know how you got that news.

just give him a break??
we all would have thought like that once before knowing about contracts....
Absolutely no.
I bought it almost at day-one in my country, at that time it was the best deal to get a nice smartphone at an affordable price. Of course, technology developes and prices drop, it's nothing new.

Exactly. If you plan to buy a low cost smartphone and at the same time you want to be in "fashion" then you must buy something that is really recently released or else head for a high end device.
I bought my p500 7-8 months ago and at that time it was propably the best deal for its value. If I had to buy a low end device today then things would have been different.

I don't regret buying the phone because the phone is quite easy to overclock to a high-end device.
2 weeks after i bought this fone in august, the optimus one's price here in the philippines dropped some $45. now over a month after, new budget models came out...like the optimus net, etc. but am i regretting? Nope.
those who havent stumbled upon xda or were not brave enough to tinker with their OP1s, they might be pulling their hairs right now if they bought theirs the same time i did.
good thing this forum exists and thrives. and with our resident devs who churn out roms and kernels too often, and with forum members always out there ready to help helpless noobs like myself, i couldn't find any reason for regrets!

Hey, nexus one was available for 12k without contract (my father's friend bought it in May) when I bought the Optimus one for 11.2k in India....and I knew about contracts when I bought the phone.
I should of got a higher end phone but I don't regret getting this phone. Phone is silk smooth and does everything I need it for.

Lol I bought my phone in April last week for 8.7k ;-) best deal

I bought it in July, long after it was first released, but when reviewing options I still found it the best Android phone in its price range with great developer support that allows us to unleash a performance on par with high-end devices. So no, no regrets.
Even if I were to buy a phone today, it'll still be in the shortlist. In fact the only phone I'm tempted to get over O1 currently (aside from O1's successors like Net/Hub) is Huawei X5, which seems to have shorter battery life that comes with all the higher specs.

Hopefully I have put this in the right thread.
My slight dilema is this....
I had a HTC Sensation, got bored and purchased a Nokia Lumia 800. Don't like the phone, don't like the OS and want to go back to Android. I only have a budget of between £200 - £250 to buy another phone and just wanted the opinion of the vast number of members on what phone to get within that price range.
Don't mind a used phone but don't want to go back to Sensation. The Galaxy SII is going over what I can afford so what's the next best thing? Needs to be loud!
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
The Optimus 2x (g2x on my side) is a diamond in the rough if you can find one.

you wanna ask yourself what you want from the phone too tbh. Personal preference for me is one with a hardware keyboard so i went for the desire Z. never looked back from it. works how i want it to and not had any issues unless i caused them myself hehe.
Managed to find myself a Galaxy S Plus for less than £200 in as new condition with an 8GB card, that'll do until my contract is up in July.
I have to admit, the Lumia 800 does have some nice features though, although my wife wasn't impressed when my phone read out a text through the car kit by my brother complaining about his internet connection, I however was rolling with laughter!!!
Thanks for the help anyway.
Hey There,
a friend of mine is looking for a midrange Phone going up to 300€ / 400$
i tried my best and we found the HTC One V to be a good and pretty phone that also has a slight chance to get a major update (since it is in the One line)
Would you agree with the One V or is there a great phone in that price range we missed?
Does the One V have any killer arguments not to buy it?
Thanks for your Advice
If your friend isn't an hardcore android user and it's his first smartphone I'd say xperia arc s or optimus 2x. Also some recent things like xperia u and sola are nice. It all depends on what he likes and wants. For example, I love gaming so I bought xperia play, it's far from being in the battle for best phone and having great specs but it's all about user experience in my opinion.

Thank you!
I didn't know these phones are already that much down in price.
It's her first Android smartphone (she had a symbian based Nokia smartphone before)
From pure specs superior, but has someone already tried one or more of these phones?
HTC one V
Sony xperia arc s
LG Optimus 2x
Thank you

I have an LG G2x, the US variant of the Optimus 2x, and I'd highly recommended it for a first phone as long as you'd be willing to install a custom ROM on it.

LG Optimus 2x is my choose...
Id go for an evo 3d, not because of the cool bonus of 3d, more because its a dual core phone, 1gb ram, 4.3 inch screen, eactly the same as a sensation, but the battery is bigger, more mah, i got mine for 180 quid, mint condition of ebay, plus its planned to get ics, although there are some amazing ics leak roms already!

Is the 512Mb of RAM on the 2x an issue?
In a similar boat, looking for the cheapest phone with dual core cpu, 1Gb of RAM, tolerable internal RAM, SD slot and reasonable community support.
i doubt there is a 1gb ram phone you can get new in this price range :S
so far the LG optimus 2x look good, but it wont get 4.0 until Q3...

This. There is no better phone for the price if off contract.
oO that is an awesome price! unfortunately they don't have this offer in Europe and a US Nexus wont work over here :S

You can get a used Galaxy S II for under $400.

How many people would rather stay with LG than switching to samsung,htc, iphone, etc...Ive been wanting a better phone lately...something with alot more ram,more internal storage, bigger screen, armv7 ...so which LG phones could i invest my money into.keep in mind i have tmobile

Although I've had nothing but good experiences with lg phones, I don't believe in brand loyalty. If a different company is offering a better deal then in my opinion, you should go with them. Personally i think the galaxy ace 2 looks really good, it's high end hardware with a decent price, if it was available in canada I probably would've bought it by now. If you're dead set on an LG, I'd recommend staying away from the optimus L3, L5, L7, and black as they really aren't much of an upgrade compared to the optimus one. The optimus 2x and 4x look alright but they're probably still fairly expensive for what they are.
Galaxy ace plus and mini 2 are also awesome, and got JB update

If you're talking about the GT-S7500, then it's a great phone hardware-wise, but it's got horrible, horrible aftermarket developer support. You can't even find CM7.2 for the damn phone. Hopefully the rumors of an official JB update is true. Also, I don't know if this is true of most Samsung phones, but the Ace Plus is really sensitive to being flashed and easily bricked. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM on my A+ was more nerve wracking (since I didn't have a usb jig should things go wrong) than the time I bricked my O1 for 2 days.

The LG doubleplay looks pretty cool and nice features too. Mytouch phones suck so I don't recommended getting one of those. And if I were gonna leave LG I would get the HTC one s

Well, as i'm sure that HTC and Samsung probably have better phones, LG offers good phones in low prices comparing to those of other companies.

I know that some have speculated that it might be $400. I just hope than it has 16gb not 8gb.
PS I wish I could get the Xiaomi Mi-Two ($315). http://www.anandtech.com/show/6163/xiaomi-announces-miui-phone-mitwo-with-apq8064-inside
I have loved my p500 but have used my partners S3 and would definitely get one of those if I could afford it, also my brother has an HTC one X and would also recommend one of those, I like the sense UI a lot.
