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.

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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
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.

Alright, so tomorrow I'm buying the Galaxy Note 2 off contract. On the website, it sticks to just being 700 dollars.
If I go to the store to purchase it (as I'm eager to get it already) will it still just be 700? I heard that already includes taxes and stuff. Or will tax still be added onto the 700bucks?

Every verizon listing on eBay (which are very few compared to other carriers) seem to be used with slight scratches on the screen. Or the biddings don't end for days down the road. Plus if something should happen, I feel safer with Verizon vs going through a hassle with the person I bought it from.
And I live in Lincoln, Ne, not many people selling new phones on Craigslist. I didn't find one listing for it. There was barely even any for the S3.
Plus, it's only about 40bucks cheaper, while it'd be nice, I'll make due.

I bought the normal verizon ones to be honest I'm not sure what type they were I just needed something until I decide what "real" protector I want to use. So far it hasn't bothered me enough to buy anything else.

I bought one like brand new in the box. Guy used for one day and went back to iphone lol and only paid $450 for it and still carries the same warranty a brand new one would. Stupid to spend $300 more but you can waste your money if you like

450 is a VERY rare steal. I'd do that in an instant if I had the chance. I mean, if you know someone selling one for that low, point me in the right direction. But every normal listing is like 675 or pretty much retail price.

I believe they (amazon) can insure it, but I'm not completely sure.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Amazon Wireless is the way to go. No tax and free 2 day shipping. If you currently have insurance on your account, it will stay and transfer to new phone once activated. There is also no activation fee.
I have done this multiple times buying off contract. Even had to go in to VZW store to get a micro sim for my S3 and had no issues.
I really really want this phone, but on Verizon my family and I have the grandfathered-in unlimited data plan. However this means getting phones off-contract and bringing them to Verizon, because if we upgrade through Verizon we'll be moved to the tier system, and we would very much not want to do that (as a family we use around 12GB a month, which is above the highest tier of 10GB)
So, I found it on craigslist for $425. Worth it? Any good upcoming deals on sites to get the phone cheaper than that off-contract?
EDIT: It is black 32GB model btw

Yes. You can't get a better phone for that price. It's cheap.
Any answer you get would be just opinion and since you're in g2 forum most will probably say yes. What's important to you in a phone? I personally think the g2 is worth every penny but if you want a phone that is on the latest software and youre not interested in the LG extras get the nexus 5. Ultimately it comes down to your personal preference

Absolutely worth it. I bought mine from Verizon for $449 during their special and love it.
Just could not part with my unlimited data.
It replaced my Galaxy Nexus which I've owned since release day.

Does boot loop issue still happen? Can I buy now? Which model?

I've never had a bootloop issue with my G5, unlike my G4.

Only 2015's flagships LG G4 & LG V10 early batch motherboards are prone to bootloop. The later batches might be free of bootloop. LG will definitely repair for free. Now 2016's flagships LG G5 and LG V20 have no bootloop .

It seems to happen with root xposed for some reason. But without xposed it doesn't. Make sure you buy a newer manufacturers version! It will say it on the box.
A lot of people where having problems with GPS and other issues with older versions it seemed.

Lately, we've been reporting about various deals involving the unlocked, international version of the LG G6 (which comes with 64 GB of storage space and no US warranty) - at one point, this handset was offered for $400. Now, we're glad to inform you that the US variant of the unlocked G6 is available for under $500, too, thanks to Best Buy.
