I am curious just how many people after hearing the reports that the GS2 woun't be available in the US or Canada until Sept/Oct are seriously considering a switch to another device or planning to use the delay to look for something better that won't have have hardware that is 6 months out of date due to a long delay from final production to retail.
With a 2 GHz chip from Samsung, the Tegra 3 and the iFail 5 all rumored for a September-January launch the GS2 is competing with some serious hardware that frankly it won't be on par with this winter for the NA market which is their largest market.
I feel like this is a complete failure on Samsung's part and they should be ensuring that the NA carriers aren't allowed to delay the launch of this device past May. I don't see how delaying this device until Q3 won't destroy their sales. Even if a large portion of their customers don't decided to just buy another device that has near equal or better specs and is available before Q3 I don't see how they will keep customers from waiting to the next generation of devices that will only be 1-2 months away. I know if I have to wait until Q3 and HTC or Motorola announces a Tegra 3 device with 10x the power of Atrix or 2X devices then then I can wait another month or two and get that instead of finally getting the GS2 knowing it is already outdated or will be in the next couple months at best.
Maybe if we get enough people here to make it clear to Samsung that they will most likely be buying a different device for one reason or another due to such a delayed release they will put some pressure on the carriers to not mess around with the device and just release it how it was meant to be and not delayed 6 months so they can load it up with bloat ware no one wanted to begin with.
I know I will be waiting a little longer before buying something else since I don't feel the Atrix or 2X are on the same level as the GS2 but with another 6 months of delays I can be pretty sure something will come along and knock the GS2 off it's pedestal and without a insane delay to their top market for delivering the device and when that day comes and it will Samsung will have officially lost another customer.
So what about everyone else, who feels if this release date is valid for the GS2 that they have lost a customer. Whether it be today or 6 months from now?
I feel slightly the same way, but if the rumors about late Q2/early Q3 are correct, we're looking at, more realistically, June-July.
The original Galaxy S wasn't released until around July-Sept for US carriers, but the European variants were also later, compared to the dates of the Galaxy S 2
Since GS Original was released in UK in June (instead of May for GS2) and the US version was September, it might make sense that we're looking at June-July (with an unfortunate possibility of August) for US.
I'm willing to wait that long, if they can keep from butchering the device for US carriers.
But the combination of lack of information, a much later release date, and the possibility of a neutered phone is definitely making me rethink my previous position, which was "wait for this damn phone at all costs".
I have given up on my wait for this phone at all cost stance already, I am currently in the I will wait until another comparable device lands on Verizon/AT&T (Why does that crap heap T-Mobile get the sensation!?!? I want a carrier that actually has coverage and unless your driving down the highway T-Mobile has no service...) and if their is no offical date for the US by that time then Samsung can say goodbye to my $$.
Really as it stands with no information from Samsung even June seems like a push to wait for if I can find another device before then. If I KNEW I would have the device in hand in June I could probably suck it up but having to sit here holding my breath that it will be June and not September or god forbid October if the release is Sept for Canada and another month for the US ... yeah that is just hard to swallow and I am just waiting for something else to come out.
If Samsung really wants to keep the US market waiting they need to give us an official date at least. Leaving everyone with this anxious feeling of "What is happening when will I be able to get it? Should I keep waiting or just forget about it? Is it even going to be worth the wait when it finally gets here considering the delay?" is just going to cause customers to move on from this device.

Really I wouldn't have any problem waiting a little longer if they would give us some news at least other than 1 rumor that it may be 6 months behind Europe and therefor 6 month outdated hardware.

Yeah I'm starting to get a little fed up with the wait too... Sucks for you guys in the States that you might have to wait till after Canada (yeah that was a shocker that we might actually get tech before you guys lol). I wish that the carriers here and the carriers there would just shut the f**k up take it and just release it already without the bloat. Let the bloat be optional download content if people actually frakin' want it.
I see this slowly becoming a rage thread... I like it... I'm starting to get sick of Samsung ignoring my attempts to contact them just because they don't want to make an announcement yet. More companies need to realize that there is a "Power User" segment out there that wants quick access to new tech. They need to put better methods of getting this out to them as well. Even if it means Samsung goes old school and skips carriers and sells direct. Yeah it would mean checking with both Samsung and your carrier of choice to make sure the support is there, but if you consider yourself one of these "Power Users" you should be doing that anyways.
Will I keep waiting for this phone? Yeah probably because I've been waiting for it since the initial announcement that there was going to be a GS2 back in December... The next question would be is my patience growing thin? Let's just say one bad step on the ice and it just might break
Yeah, I can't really blame Samsung since they've taken good care of Europe as far as this phone's release is concerned. (I'm much happier others get to enjoy it soon, rather than everyone having to wait).
It's just the power of the carriers in the US that really screws over the customers. There isn't a single change that is made to any phone, of any company, by the carriers that is beneficial to anyone.
It's just so ridiculous that you have to wait longer than is necessary, so they can fill the phone with purely useless software and modifications that just get in the way of the design intended by Samsung. And it's all purely for profit for the carrier.
I guess that's Greed for you. Instead of all the extra data plans raking in cash monthly for the carriers, they go well beyond that and squeeze every ounce of phone real estate with what is essentially more annoying advertising.

I have never used T-Mobile. I heard some good things about pricing and call quality and such so I checked them out and based on their map in my area I have 3G coverage along the highway, in the middle of town and no signal what so ever everywhere else. I have nothing against T-Mobile really other than their coverage sucks in my area and that is really the only thing i care about in a carrier... well that and giving me an OS update in a timely manner.
Yeah, we will probably have a much longer wait as the US carriers take their time and **** up the design of the phone like they all did on the first Galaxy go around.
Here comes 4 or 5 compromised versions of the new Galaxy SII all of them lacking something that the others have, but all of them filled to the flipping brim with crap ware that doesn't do God Damn thing but annoy the hell out of you. Asshole US carriers, everyone of them sucks.
Just give me the phone like it is designed, and don't attempt to dazzle me with your bull ****.
i agree with all the complaints i've read in this thread. i'd like to see a more solid release date for the US as well besides Q3. looking at the release dates, Q3 reads like August for the US at the earliest.
i'm thinking i'm going to wait until late May/mid June in hopes for a more solid release date. but if there isn't one by then, i will likely get an import for AT&T after making sure it's completely compatible with their network. at that point i'll be able to afford dropping $600-$700 for it unlocked.

I'm thinking about going this route. Did you have to do anything special to get the phone to work, or did you just throw in your ATT sim card?
Just add the ATT (or Straight talk) Sim and you're good.
For a change I actually can't complain in canada. Pickrd mine up on launch yesterday

I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

I honestly doubt they will delay the Note 2's launch for that reason. I believe this because they have more than likely already delayed the Note 2 for the DNA.

Verizon may have the best speeds, but overall, a pain in the ass.
What he said. Maybe the best LTE network but in terms of high end phones locked/encrypted bootloaders, and delayed releases, bid red does not rate highly for those items.

Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.

I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.
26th
Just an update guys. I called VZW Corporate and the lady I spoke to said my order should ship BY the 26th if that helps any. Who knows at this point

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.

I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.
Am I the only one who feels this way. Im so trying not to be a Sammy fanboy. But damn Note 3 seems to me still best phone by far lut right now.

TOO BE FAIR...
The Note 3 has had it's fair share of reception issue after the KK update on the Verizon network.
Need advice. Would you get the Note 3 for $450 (and considering the locked bootloader) , or the g3 for $650?
And also considering that Note 3 will most likely everyone android L much later than LG g3.
Personally I am waiting for the Note 4 which will be announced in 1 month (9-3-14) and released (supposedly) very quickly after that. Which for us Verizon users means November unless they actually pull a quick move and get it out in October.
Get the N4 for what you would pay for the G3 and be happier.

The unlocked version will probably be around 800-900, out of my budget. And then there will most likely be early adopter problems, like the ones G3 is having - shutdowns, headphone hiss....

There is a sticky thread for device comparisons
The Verizon GS6, a phone older than the V10 got updated to Nougat. If LG is going to stifle creativity the least they could do is timely updates. Can you image if your PC or MAC did not get any updates for over a year... Why do we as consumers allow carriers and phone makers to get away with this?
And to think I sold Galaxy S6 to buy this piece of crap! Biggest regret!
The camera and audio on my V10 are simply awesome.
The rest...not so much!
So LG corporate lurkers...while that G6 looks cool, I could probably count on some engineering stupidity that manifests within a year and some ensuing corporate coverup. No Thanks! When it's time to get a new phone...it won't be LG!

Korean market in the second quarter, then other markets after, which could mean September at the soonest bust Verizon will need to test it for a year and will update it after I have switched. I am ditching VZW. Nearly 2 decades I have been a customer and they have treated us like **** for that whole time. 127 dollars a month for a single 6gig smart phone (with government employee discount) and a basic flip phone. Their network is not that great. In my area ALL the carriers perform about the same. Sprint has generally the best network speeds. All of them are faster than the 4MBps down I get.
Yep switching to Sprint or AT&T and going iPhone, f**k waiting for updates. Apple at least releases them fairly timely.

It would not be as bad if they didn't lock the phone down and not allow us to do as we wish. No updates plus a locked phone equals total b.s. I enjoy the V10 but would like it a whole lot more with root and a custom ROM.

I wouldn't say the v10 has gotten no updates, just not to the next version of the os. I can't tell you how long I've waited between major updates from microsoft. Until 10, they really didn't do a major change for multiple years. Verizon does suck a bit for c**k-blocking the root, but I would learn the art of patience, if I were you. It does suck, but there are a million other phones to choose from... I guess some people just can't stand but to shove their negativity in everyone's faces. sheesh! Can't we all just get along?
Currently on my 2nd V10, and the only things that I can honestly say that's good about this damn device is sound and removable battery. Locking it up like a prison and dragging ass on updates are constant reminders of why I should have never went back to an LG device.
I too have been with VZW for a long time (Bell Atlantic days actually), with only minimal discounts for being military as well as crappy customer service with over priced fees per monthly billing that make no sense. Before year's end I plan on finally dumping VZW and going elsewhere. I'd be highly surprised if this device actually sees 7.0 by Christmas, which by then would be completely useless.

Verizon will receive the update too but a little late since carriers will have to do a revision of it and then put their crappyware inside the update.
For Verizon i think maybe in the end of June you get it, its the problem having carrier phones, everytime you are the last receiving the updates.
not looking like we are going to get Nougat..i guess we are suppose to be happy with the latest security updates...smfh
Edit: I misread the post. The author claims the reps told him Verizon received the update on July 12 from LG and are modifying it for release. So still no release date, but if this is true, it's a hopeful sign.
Original: I posted this in another thread, too, but I just stumbled up on this post which says Nougat is coming on "July 12." I think he meant Aug. 12, because the post was made yesterday. (unless the timestamp is wrong for some reason...)
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv10/comments/6prj0q/take_it_with_a_grain_of_salt_verizon_says_nougat/
LG is no more "lame" than any other manufacturer. In this case, the update is on Verizons end. LG has already updated the V10 to Nougat and T-mobile has pushed it out to their users a while ago. Verizon has not, and I will doubt that they will at this point. I have owned Android devices by Samsung, LG, and HTC. You are lucky if you get one OS update on them. One of my HTC's I had for two years got none. If you want a device that is going to be supported in 5 to 6 years, you will have to buy an iPhone. And no, I have never owned an iPhone, but the truth is all of their upgrades are up to Apple. Apple does not let the carriers install garbage software on their devices, so when an update comes out, the testing is all on their end.
Hi
I've been for a long time a Samsung Note user but this year the Note 8 disappoints me, so I am looking for a V30.
I am an early adopter, I don't have enough patience for the global launch and I was wondering if you might know a reliable korean source to preorder it.
Cheers~
What a joke on LGs part. Announce a phone and then give no indication of its release.

Same here. They keep posting pics of it on their IG and I keep commenting about the release. Nothing. They comment on most things but that. I have the S8+ and a bad itch to get something new. I do not want the Note 8. I also hate to go back to Apple, but if the X is released before the V30, I might get it. Then check out the XL2

It seems that the iPhone X won't be available before 2018: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/18/16329756/apple-iphone-x-8-availability-preorders-consumer-demand
The LG V30 will probably be on the korean market starting from september 21, you can preorder it on Ebay.
I don't know if the bootloader will be locked or not but the phone is branded and there are some korean apps that cannot be uninstalled.

I will wake up early and preorder it. I will wait on the Tmobile variant of the V30 unless the wait goes into Oct/Nov.
To be honest, i don't know how LG survives? They are making mistakes after mistakes in bootloops, hardware choice, hardware distribution, release dates, announcements, delivery date. Their next mistake will be pricing of the v30.
How doest their mobile division still exist?!

if you got jump on demand with tmobile you can get the s8 then get the V30. now with tmobile you can jump every 30 days.
They finally replied to the 100s of comments on every pic they post of the V30 on IG asking about the release date. To add more insult they said "Very soon" "Only a little bit longer". Not a damn date!!
Nothing new here. Same process as the V20. Which they also messed up the shipping out of once we all did get our pre-orders in.
I don't know about pre-order, but extrapolating the LG G6 schedule, U.S. carrier branded LG V30 should come by October 10 (40 days after official announcement on August 31).
THEN U.S. "carrier unlocked" version probay 5 weeks (35 days) later in mid-November. November 14, if they keep the exact same timeline, which they probably won't... But curious to see how much it will differ.
I purchased the Korean lgg6 and while its a solid phone, the lg store won't work, its region locked. I'm gonna guess a Korean v30 would be the same and moreover I imagine that could impact any other lg server specific features.

That is all it will take to completely lose my interest. It would have to come with 6GB of RAM, the US998 would have to have band 71, and it would have to be $700 or less to recapture my interest if it isn't out by the time the new Pixel line is out.
Guys, I could not take it anymore so I've ordered a silver one on Ebay...
I seems that I haven't learn much after the Note 7 fiasco
Let's see how this turns out ^_^

You are very brave. Good luck! I would love to know how the V30 after you receive it.

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader and root of the South Korean carrier models, but you'll love the phone otherwise.

I am new to the LG world, are you absolutely sure that the bootloader is locked and I will be unable to root it?
