Release date coming tomorrow! Let's figure out the cheapest way to purchase one. Please post the following:
1. How much you paid
2. Where you ordered or purchased
3. If you used full or partial upgrade or no contract extension.
4. Any discounts applied and how you acquired said discounts.
I think the cheapest I've seen is wirefly, they have it for $150 on a 2yr contract, but it won't ship until the 20th.

Personally, I'm looking to use a partial upgrade as I am 13 months into a 2 year contract. I have seen people get amazing deals using various methods. I'm hoping to get it for around $250.
I'm looking to possibly purchase for full price and use on AT&T, so please include any deals on full retail prices.
3700 danish kr... about 500 dollars. Without contract.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
900kr + 450kr x 6 months (3600 kr = 699USD). This includes 5gb data, 2 hours of talk, free sms and mms. I think it was a rather good deal, in Danish context.
@Thomasmj86
500USD ~2500kr
Does this phone have an easily unlocked bootloader? My friend asked if I would recommend this, and I was unsure how to respond. He is a T-mobile USA user.

I read somewhere that LG has no plans to lockdown bootloaders unlike HTC with the Sensation and other new phones.
FYI, this thread is for t-mobile g2x prices, not lg optimus 2x...
thanks, where did you buy yours??
I have a partial upgrade (13 months in a 2 year contract) and it is showing $349 for me. A little more than I wanted to pay but I think I'll go for it.
I paid £379.99 cos my contract isn't up for another 1yr 3 mth and couldn't wait that long for this phone, gave my desire to the girlfriend
got mine off ebay here

yea it is... but there are no forums yet for the G2x.....
So I tried to sell my thrill, after having chosen the atrix after a day or two of comparing them in hand
I got one call that really made me angry
I was lowballed all the way to $320 for a pretty much brand new thrill [every sticker still on phone, a few minutes talk time, very careful and very cautious testing as to keep the phone in mint new condition]
The guy said "No one cares about LG"
and "no one cares about the thrill"
I asked why he wanted it, and he said "his wife"
I told him it was ridiculous to sell it for $320 when new inspires [HTC] sell for $250 and new atrix sell for $320, and why in the world would I sell a phone that is only a week old and dual core with a 4.3 inch screen for the same price?
He said it was stupid and that if he wanted to spend more he'd buy an iphone 4 for $340, to which I told him the iphone 4 won't even be worth $250 when the iphone 5 comes out. he then replies that's what 3gs is worth and I'm pretty much laughing..
then he starts saying, he doesn't care, and the best phone anyways is the sensation, the only phone worth buying is the sensation
to which I say the G2X is better than the sensation in everyway and that the thrill is a lot like the G2X...
anyways, he got really mad that I wouldn't take $320 for the phone new. I told them that on ebay they are $410 buy it nows and he said 'no one cares about ebay, ebay's dead"
anyways..funny..very funny.
i know someone will buy it eventually. i'm only asking $370 for it brand new with the car charger case screen protector etc
I would have laughed in his face and told him I was going to post this on the internet for the WIN!
LOL funny story though
Do you have his number? i will sell him mine for $320

Why would you guys sell it while you're still in the 30 day return window? Definitely worth at least $400 at this point on Craigslist, but you can buy it for $450 new without a commitment so you shouldn't expect to get more than that.
I bought mine for $330 and using with H20 wireless from craigslist

according to him, yes.
mind you I don't sell on ebay, always get burned
but according to him, ebay, the biggest auction site in the world, is dead.
he's crazy, I actually got a few offers today and no one lowballed the way he did, I should have the thrill sold tomorrow
hate to see it go, but I can't justify having both the atrix and thrill. will come back later if the lg gb or ics upgrade is crazy good or if a really good rom is at least stable.

I wouldnt say ebay os dead... But it isnt what it was 10 years ago.
Craigslist is the new ebay
ebay is over run with retailers sellung products at a 10% mark up over what you could buy it for elsewhere , taking advantage of unsuspecting fools that do not know better....that and overseas sellers (which i buy from frequently)
you have me tempted to sell mine for real... .$300+ for a $50 investment is almost too good to pass up....and it sure would give me some extra cash for my vegas wedding come 11-11-11

I have been searching online and it appears the regular upgrade price is $199-00 from ATT and others with Costco being $10 cheaper and they include some accessories plus a favorable return policy.
Anyone know of any better deals out there?
I missed out on Fry's $60 ($90 with tax) deal.
The best deal I could find was $600 at AT&T.
I thought the upgrade price through att was $99.00. That is what I paid for it.
I got mine for $199.00 but two weeks later the black Friday price was $99.00. I got the $100.00 refund of course but I haven't seen it for $99.00 since then.

Good spot, well done. I find it unusual though that they charge you tax on the full retail amount bringing the total somewhere near $120. They also have a lousy 13 day return policy. Makes you wonder if the saving is really worth it.
Not worth it for me considering I would have to drive from Memphis to Duluth or Milton Georgia to partake of the offer.

Maybe it will help someone in the big white north or maybe the states has this promo to.
Best Buy HUP for $99+tax with a $25 gift card. I used the gift card on a case and invisableSHEILD screen protector.
I think it is a good deal.

This is in Canada so i don't know if its the same in the US. Just go into a Best Buy store and see if they got the promo. Plus they should be able to price match with others including carries plus 10% off.

It shows black, but its for the white. I just went to the Fry's in Duluth, GA and picked up 2. One for me and one for the wife. Way better than paying 200! Well worth the 16 hour round trip drive. All I have seen is the black model and never saw the white until yesterday, and I gotta say is, it is a sexy beast! Black looks good, but white looks better. Anyone in the Atlanta area goes to partake of the offer, they only have one more white left. The blacks are being sold at 130.

If you happen to work for AT&T they are offering a $199 discount for this phone if you are upgrading.
I picked mine up for $17 Canadian.
Hardware upgrade price was supposed to be either $99 or $149, I don't remember, but it rang up at $59.99 (at a Rogers store), and while I was signing the paperwork the woman told me 'Don't forget to log into your Rogers account to redeem the $50 mail-in rebate.' I thought it was too good to be true, but sure enough, when I got home, I logged in, and a few minutes later received an email stating that a $50 credit had been applied to my account.
So $10 for the phone, plus $7 (the taxes on $60).
Two days later, a friend picked one up and was charged $150. When she mentioned my deal, the guy at the store said 'Oh, that's not right. But there's nothing we can do about it now.'
Got mine for 99 and my upgrade was not but until march. I called cs and asked if icould get an early upgrade they talked to a supervisor and they offered it and the sgs 2 for 99. Never been happier.

I tried getting the local ATT store to price match and was again turned down. They told me to call retentions at ATT.
Got on the phone with them and they saw me right!!
Phone is on the way to me. I reckon I should see somewhat of a difference between it and my TP2!
Hello,
I have to say goodbye to the Optimus 2x community. This evening i just sold my phone and i bought a new HTC Evo 3D. I sold it for 350$ and i bought the Evo for the same money (i got a big discount from a shop here in Romania). The Evo is new, unused, bought from the shop, not second-hand.
Did i make a good choice? What do you say?

wow isnt that more than a new o2x would cost?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Hard to say. I'm pretty happy with my Optimus 2X after having rooted it this saturday.
In Romania, it costs ~ 500$ (+/- 100$).
Indeed my phone was 3 months old, without any scratch etc.
Spec of the HTC Evo 3D looks very good. Worse still camera/video it seems but good spec Haven't read a review.
Considering you got it for the same price... well done (I take it you didn't have to take a contract to get it at that price?)
Anyway... at the end of the day.. what's the worst that can happen? You sell it and then try another phone if you don't like it?
Nope, no contract.
Wow. I checked the UK prices, and looks like you got a very good deal
you can get the HTC EVO 3D in every "Media Markt" (something like a german Best Buy) for 269 EUR = 342 Dollar without any additional discounts^^
you can even buy it online...

BUT
the lg optimus speed/2x costs exactly the same (even the white version)

htc phones are so complicated. it is very much subject to be bricked.

O2 apparently have the network exclusive on the N5 32Gb in the UK, but they're selling it at a £210 markup!
Crazy that Google are allowing this!

Boooooooooooooooo!!!
They're just shooting themselves in the foot really. People will just go to Google, type in Nexus 5, see it's only £300 elsewhere and make their purchase there.

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!
Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years
It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.
I don't see how o2 can market this as an exclusive when Google is selling it too.. plus the price difference.
Rip-off, plus you end up with a phone hobbled to O2
Sim free via Google ftw!

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.
are they giving away any tv this year?

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.
