I decided to make one so we can chat about anything while we wait on development... So what do you all say? Let's get to know each other... Also please don't send this to off topic moderators, because right now I only care about Optimus G community not everyone...
I'll start it off, my names Jose born and raised in California USA, Orange County... 22 years old, hobbies include phones gaming and great movies/anime/shows... Your turn! Ps3 name: HyDRo-GEN-

Bored on Xmas eve? Me too.
I'm Greg - 26 years old. I was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to Dallas,TX when I was 5. Been here ever since. I have too many hobbies apart from my inner-nerd. I have slowly stopped video games over the past year or so because I really do not have time for them anymore.
(Actually got engaged 2 days ago... so this will keep things interesting)
I like music. Always am going to shows (especially to Viking/Black/Death/Folk/etc Metal) I play guitar, keys, and accordion. All on an amateur level.
I hit the gym 4-5 days a week for 1.5-2 hours each session. I used to be in really bad shape due to sitting around with video games/android phones. I've been doing this for 1.5 years, and don't look like I know anything about Android devices now
I work in IT as a project manager. This means my technical skills are very limited. Yes, it does bother me that I cannot help too much on XDA.
I plan on keeping this phone for the entire duration of my contract with ATT, so you folks should see some activity from me on these forums.

This is my 4th android phone. I have learned over time that the best option to go with is a device with as close of specs to the current nexus as possible.
I really wanted a nexus 4, but don't want to miss out on LTE, especially if I an already technically paying for it.

Ditto. xD
31, Atlanta, Georgia. I had iPhones from the original and stopped at the iPhone 4. I was certain they were superior to Android until I realized, I was totally bored with apple. So I sold the iPhone and picked up the Note in March, switched to the HTC One X and now my LG Optimus G, which was sent to me by AT&T to make me happy when I went through two One Xs. I love this phone and can't wait to root when the Nocturnal Team puts out a jelly bean based Rom. Next goal is to learn to code so eventually I can develop for Android

Also so happy that miui is finally a working rom I will flash that today and probably jump for joy!

i am starting to get a bit worried myself to be honest. between the lack of advertisement (you barely hear about this phone) and the lack of accessories, i am really hoping that this doesn't end up being a flop.
I've heard the advertisement concern a few times, but I'm not sure why. I've seen a bunch of TV commercials here in Atlanta for it. And that's even with DVR'ing almost all of our shows.

They are busy right now planning the release of the successor to.this phone to compete with Sammy I'm sure and to iron out the wrinkles in this their first high-end smartphone designed to compete with the big wigs...just saying

If they want to be taken seriously they will have to do something. If not, they might as well stop trying to sell mobile phones in the USA.

Hard to really say. I don't know of any official numbers but, I think I was the first person to get mine at the local best buy and that was a month after it launched.
Since then my brother and girlfriend have both gotten one.
I'm still a bit nervous about a lack of developers.

My att store had taken the display off the shelf. Not really sure why. The sales person also didn't realize the HTC 1X+ was in the store and on display.

So I have my hands on this beast now! I started out with a Nexus 4, traded for an Oppo Find 5, then traded that for a Note2 traded that for a Xperia Z, traded that for a Galaxy S4, then traded that for a HTC One, then traded that for an LG G2!
I am keeping my eye out for the Moto X, its intriguing to me...BUT not over the LG G2, this thing lasts ALL day on battery.
My question now is.... am I holding the original designed phone that the Nexus 5 is being made out of? Should I consider getting the Nexus 5? I dont care for the stock Android thing or updates because I am rooted so that is not a factor.

I never pay full price for my phones. I always trade... its so dumb to me that people think they have to stick with the phone they signed a 2 year contract with...SMH
I honestly didn't think i would get someone to trade my HTC One for a G2, but when I got that offer i made sure to do it ASAP!
Anyways what do you guys think? Or better yet what would you do? go for the N5 or stick with G2?

But for the first time I bought a phone full price which is my g2. It kinda hurt dropping the cash but I knew I was going to get a hell of a phone so its worth it 100%

In my country it is very difficult to trade phones. We usually sell used and buy used or new. This process causes loss of money as you know!

Honestly the only thing thats a big factor are the prices. The lg g2 is better then the nexus 5 IF you are rooted (pure android). Bought my lg g2 from a guy that didnt need for 500 bucks. 50 dollar difference than the nexus 5 that just came out. just got cyanogen on it and it'll work as good as the nexus 5. The nexus 5 only had the pure android experience and the price as an advantage. I got both of these from my LG g2 so for me there was no point in getting the nexus 5.

Someone offered me a 2013 Nexus 7 and a HTC One for my White 32gb Note 3. I am pretty sure i am getting the G2. Really would love the N5 , but Google play says it won't leave the wear house for 3 weeks and I don't have anything to b use til thenn can't 3 weeks for a phone...I hear the G2 is pretty dope and almost the same performance wise as the note 3. I am nervous I am gonna miss this note 3 too much tho. Just can't hand not being able to rom/kernel all that good stuff.
Still thinking about that Nexus 7 and HTC ONE trade.

Ya I agree with that. But that actually makes the G2 even more of a major contender in my eyes because it's popularity is still growing regardless.
Couple that with Samsung's basically failed watch campanion promotions. And the rumored improvements to come on the G3. And I think LG has the foundation for an epic device long term. As long as they clean up the software.

I agree with that also. The screen is plenty big. If I want a bigger screen I'll just use a 7/10 inch tablet. Bigger screen on a phone just isn't practical in my opinion and intrusive in most cases.

Have you tried out the Vutalk feature yet? It seems cool/fun but I don't know anyone else with an LG phone, unfortunately, so I can't test it out myself.
Other than the slippery back, easy-to-scratch screen, mediocre speakers, and lack of cute aftermarket cases, I LOVE the G2. The Knock On feature and battery life are so damn amazing. Every phone should implement Knock On!
I have super high expectations for the G3 after being wowed by so many of the G2's features. The "delightful discoveries" page is great!

I have had the G2 since mid December. I gave my wife my old S2 skyrocket and sold a HTC one x I used as well.She loves my g2 and how stable it is..I offered to buy her a Optimus G or G pro off eBay but I can't get her off her skyrocket.She said when she needs another phone she will for sure want a lg because of the UI.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
We bought G2's the day after it launched in Canada. And 1 S4 which is being used as a toy by my youngest. I have a MacBook which I love, and an iPhone 4 which I loved. I was all set on getting the entire family on iPhones by the end of last year. And then the unthinkable happened: at my daughter's request I started looking at Androids. At first I was 100% opposed. But Apple's lacklustre iPhone 5x announcement and their refusal to make a bigger screen phone sold me on Android. And now I would laugh in the face of any offer to switch back to iPhone. The G2 has been the best phone on the market since it came out.
Sent from my LG-D803 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ya family is for sure not regretting switching from iPhone to the G2. I'm just hoping the G3 is going to live up to the rumors or exceed them. I really don't plan on switching phone brands in the future. Or is anyone in our house lol.

My last two phones were Samsung...never again. I went to get my G2 on Friday, the Verizon store was sold out and so were all the stores in the area. The sales rep ( a family friend) just ordered it online for me and should arrive Monday.
$99 for a 32 gig phone with these monster specs? Yes please!
Hello. I already have the G2 for 6 months and I feel like trying also the BB Z30 as second phone. Anyone have experience with Z30 ? I am so used with android so I don't know how I will cope with BB10. How is the z30 system? what are the pros and cons compared with G2 ?
Any thoughts ? TKS
