Whos getting the Thrill 4G?
I think I may get it. This phone is great and all but GPS blows because of the mfg defect of the back GPS antenna not making contact. This proved a huge pain in the arse Friday when I actually had to use the navigation. In order for it to work correctly I had to keep my finger firmly pressed on the antenna...

It does look nice but I'm gonna stick with HTC products.

They meant the Inspire is nice, not the Thrill.

I was referring to the inspire having GPS antenna issues.
Now I'm thinking the galaxy s2 released Monday is a better choice.

The Thrill is my AT&T company phone, I'm an employee, and the battery life is ABYSMAL! If you thought the Inspire was bad, wait til that one comes out. Trust me, don't do it. Trying to setup my Exchange email, battery dropped from 93 to 79 in about 10 minutes of me fiddling with it. All on "4G".

The thrill is a nice phone to an extent. I am not a huge fan of the 3D screen on it but the 3D camera is kinda of cool. I would still rather have a samsung or htc device. I was playing with one for a few days but wasnt a huge fan.

This wont be on Att I bet though. And besides, it wont be much better than the sgs2 anyway. It'll most likely have the 720p screen to stand out.

Really? This (http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/17/lg-thrill-4g-review/) and a few others I've read says it's shipping with 2.2 with a promised 2.3 update from ATT. nothing about ICS
1ghz dual core is cool, but only 512mb RAM? running froyo? this doesn't exactly seem like a step forward. and if the battery life is really as abysmal as stated previously, it won't be something i'm interested in

My wife and I get our upgrades in December and have already decided which ones we are gonna get. My wife will be getting the LG Thrill. I will be getting the HTC Holiday/Inspire HD/Raider, whichever it gets decided to be called after it finally gets at least announced.

I have already ordered my Thrill 4G from radioshack acouple of weeks ago... supposed to be out this week (sept 4th) now with Gingerbread pre-installed... fingers crossed!!!
my heart isnt set on the 3d asspect... it is the fact that is a dual core dual ram dual channel device... for 79.99 at radioshack and target!!!
thats a good deal... throw a custom rom on there with some optimizations..and there ya go!!!
i am a Samsung junkie i had only one other lg smartphone before... lg incite.. wm 6.1 SUCKED BALLS perfomance wise till i put custom rom on..
actually it was a tough little device.. basically unbrickable.
so if i dont like the lg thrill and really think it isnt worth it... i will take it back and i will get the Infuse... my friend has one that i put a nice rom on and it blows everyphone i have ever played with out of the water...
i love the AMOLED screen and the weight and "slimness"...
anywho,
Good Luck to me... gonna get it Sunday.

From what I've read about the Optimus 3D, even though it has only 512 of RAM, because of the RAM being dual channel it is still suprisingly not laggy, if at all. Yes, it would be smooth as hell if it had more, but reviews have said that 512 of dual channel RAM is not too much of a drawback.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using the XDA app
It might be just me but the 3D gives me a headache.
News on the thrill...
Radioshack confirmed today... delays were originally due to the noted screen defect on several devices... secondly getting a manufacturing deal with corning... the makers of gorilla glass... they were supposed to get a deal... looked like they lost it... were considering raising the price... they worked it out and all is well... they also confirmed it will ship with gingerbread update installed....
Congrats to all those patient enough to wait!!!

I know you guys have got to be close to the ICS, have to be. If there is anything I can do to help get you there, let me know. When you get there, there is this really nice launcher called Apex. It's very smooth, it's very lite, yet customizable enough to play with the big boys. I have tried other launchers, and by the end of the day go back to Go Launcher, but this one I have had for 2 days so far. Dig it so far.

Edit: Just realized what he's talking about. He's saying about how when we get ICS Up and Running to try out the Apex launcher.

This phone is unlikely to see a fully functional ICS. It is what it is (previous generation phone).
It may get the non-HW Accelerated, nerfed, partially functional version, but even with that, I don't think there are devs actively working on it.
It is true that this will be a passed by phone in a year, but the work MT has been putting into it keeps us fairly happy with it in the meantime.
Truth be told, the only way to squeeze anything more out of these devices would be to have the processing power of the TFP with a tablet dock (plug your phone into a tablet shell and get tablet functionality) at a reasonable cost (unlikely).

Very good, til I got my bill from att. But called them and had half of it taken care of. I hated Samsung, but this is making me change my mind. This is an international phone, so that helps.

So I was wondering why its so important to get ics. As you can see I moved on to the Skyrocket from Samsung and Att. We got the leak a couple days ago. I must say, its nice to look at, but for someone who is familiar with the Android I really don't see anything amazing. Menus have changed and are easier to read, my phone was faster before ics. I don't know. I think gb with your mods are perfect.

How technology is today once something bigger and better is released everybody (well almost everybody) wants to be able to have the bigger and better. So they strive to get the new product and once they do they feel accomplished and if need be they fix stuff here and there if they need too.

Indeed, and that's all it really is. I am like that with phones and with cell companies. I have a goal to stick with Att for 2 years.
I agree that with ics, anyone who is new to Android will have an easier time navigating menus and what not.

I often wonder if its because this phone comes with bing. Maybe LG is in a contract with Microsoft and Google said "hell no you can't put bing in ICS!" So, we get left out

You are probably right. What would it take to do the little mods? Menu appearance, layout, so that it gives you mock ics?

Better then before I take it.
I had crappy battery life on stock. Today I put Thrill Seeker on my phone and I have had it unplugged for about 12 hours, it was at 100%, then through loading and restoring apps, text messages, etc, making phone calls... So decent use, it's now at 63%.
So that might be an option for you.

The 3D seems actually quicker to start up. It doesn't have the 3D Game Converter I don't think, but someone on stock might be able to throw that up so you can put it into system/app.

My LG rep came by today to show us the new optimus G pro and during this he showed us the Antutu score from his demo device. 19000something. He asked if my phone could get that so I ran it. And during the test I said to him "it's on battery saver mode so I'm not sure how well it's going to compare considering it's the same cpu" after the test finished I showed him the score 23000+. He was kinda speachless and started rambling about something else then asked me to text him a screenshot of that score.

Never been a fan of LG phones. Nice to read this. Makes me snicker!
Hyping over getting 19,000?
And the LG is clocked the same as the One?
So, would pulling 20,000, still higher than his phones score, while under clocked to 1.3ghz be a burn and a half or what? Lol
I'm not sure power saver mode will throttle the cpu if it's a custom kernel. I've checked a few times and it seems to stop working in that respect. Same with tasker. I can't control cpu speeds with tasker using a custom.
