To Gregory Q. Brown (Motorola CEO) and the whole company:
You suck. You make me (us) puke. I (we) bought my Milestone and I'm (we're) really angry about it. 2.1 is BUGGY and 2.2 has been initially planned for Q3 2010 then planned for "early" Q1 2011. Are you clowns or what? That's all. I'm (we're) done with you.
So people: who of you are going to buy another Motorola product now that we know how they threat their customers? Please vote in the poll and post a comment.
"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not taking this ANYMORE!" - Mr. Beale
Well, yeah.. they did screwed up a bit but the bottom line is that their products fits ME. The accesories, the hw keyboards I can't live without... all that makes it a deal. Barely, yes. Bootloader locked? wouldn't be a problem to me if the just updated as all other oses update. As os x, linux and windows update.
I have ms1 and played with ms2. I really like them both.
End.
Well I appreciate your honest opinion but think about them. They're threating us like sh*t. I agree when you say that Motorola products' quality is pretty EXCELLENT but this isn't true when it comes to software! And software is almost 60% of a smartphone. And, IMHO, if 60% of a product sucks, well, the whole product sucks too. I don't want to be left on the edge of the "development road" only because of Motorola laziness!
Well i dont think milestone will be getting froyo,thats what they say......

After owning both the Milestone and the XT720, I can safely say I will never want to buy another Motorola product again.
no but im going to buy the droid 2 global so i can use ATT 3G and have a free bootloader!
Yes, i will buy another motorola product, but not a phone
No, the music skipping bug that was supposed to be fixed by 2.1 still affects me, the closed bootloader, the 30 fps cap in 2.1 is also annoying and the 2.2 update hasn't been realeased yet.
In the other hand the OS is awesome, I know for sure that the next phone I buy is going to be an android but not from motorola.

Lol! XD Obviously I meant a product related to the "smartphone" category!
BTW is there a way to change the title? I replaced Motorola with Milestone! -_-''
Well I too am pissed off by the promise of updates while we still don't get them. Remember it said "Flash-ready"? Still lacking that.
After seeing what Motorola did with the Droid X and 2, my D1 will be the last Motorola smartphone I get and will keep it until it either dies or I'm forced to a LTE phone.
Totally feel for you Milestone guys though.
in fact,i always want to buy another phone like "Milestone 2 - ME722" which with android 2.2 system.
but, no enough money NOW

So in the future you will be disappointed because Motorola won't upgrade your Milestone 2 to Gingerbread or Honeycomb...Trust me: buy other brand phones!
I sold my Milestone and I got a HD2...GUYS! IT ROCKS! Gingerbread is already almost FULLY-FUNCTIONAL! Only GPS doesn't work (which is a Gingerbread's issue not a cooked rom's one...). And soon we'll get Ubuntu and Meego running PERFECTLY!
People this is just an advice: LEAVE MOTOROLA ALONE! It doesn't deserve our money... At least HTC, Samsung etc. they let us doing what we want without any limits!
Motorola's Phones are very good devices as hardware. Milestone is my first Motorola and I am very satisfied with its engineering. But they pretty much suck on supporting their products.. Gingerbread is out and officially we are still waiting for FroYo.
I would buy again a Motorola, but just the much-anticipated Tablet that the will launch.
For my next Phone I will definitely choose a Google Phone, so I can have every latest update in a couple of days. A true dev phone.
Well, as I said, I LOVED Milestone hardware quality but its "closeness" is way more annoying than having a physical keyboard or a gummy back surface...
ABOUT TIME TMO!! I cant wait for this. I definitely would pay top dollar for this phone.

2X.
Frankly, G2x should blow Atrix out of the space.
I think it does!! hopefully they remove lg's UI and keep it stock!! either way, its still better than motoblur!!

Probably just HSPA+ (4G) and maybe vanilla android and hopefully gingerbread!!
Nice
A lot of people are speculating that T-Mobile changed the name to G2X to match the other "G" series phones. The same people have inferred that this means te phone will be stock Android. Hopefully this is the case! I will definitely pick it up.
Currently using the Nexus One and MyTouch 4G, I would jump on this new phone in a heart beat. I hope the LG doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, I enjoy a quality built device, good hardware goes a very long way in the way I choose my phones. The Nexus One to date has the best feeling in your hands, I still use it as my daily phone. HTC builds quality phones, I have sent my N1 back to HTC several times for the screen issue, they fixed it, changed the mother board and many other parts. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another device from HTC.
now the question is when is the release date?
I heard later this month. I hope so, I am trading out my Nexus S to get the cash together and will be using an iPhone 4 till its released. :-( I plan on getting it on day one.
how does it take to get the unlock code from the website services?
can anyone give me an estimated time for that?
guyz i ll be in us between 12-18 march, hope it ll be released and get the code in very soon, dont want to buy an atrix

Awesome that TMo is picking up O2X as their next G-series device.
Hope it will be launched with stock Android - porting that ROM to European device will be a piece of cake!
O2X + stock Gingerbread = total win
Some Tmobile reps over at Tmonews have posted that the LG reps have come to their stores to demo the phone and that is stock android, has 4G and it is fast! Also the release date is supposedly April 20th alongside the G-slate. Heh can't wait to get this.

Awesome! You American people are lucky
I made summary of current informations about TMo G2X, visit my blog if you wish to read it
http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-informations-about-tmobile-g2x.html
I spoke to a Tmo rep yesterday...and probably the first guy who was totally knowledgeable about HD2 and its capabilities and such. I've asked several reps about the G2x and none of them seem to be even remotely aware. But after talkin for a while with this guy, I asked him about the G2x...and he said since I know this much, there's no harm confirming the arrival of the G2x...he said the launch shud be with 3-4 weeks after the launch at UK. More than likely, the speculated April 20th seems plausible. Can't wait!!
Is 4g confirmed? Would really suck if this phone had everything but 4g speeds
Interesting when I just did a search for LG Revolution 2.
I came across a link that I had to Google Translate. It's a long link due to the need to translate from whatever language it was in. (Sorry, I didn't care to figure that part out)..
EDIT: It was originally Spanish.
http://translate.google.com/transla...en&sa=X&biw=1920&bih=918&tbs=qdr:d&prmd=imvns
The Specs Are NICE and the photo's are included. At least what I hope to be the actual photo's. 1.5Ghz Dual Core?? Nice.. I want one!
What do others think about this page and such? Real or Not Real? Seems so, but interesting I can't see to come across the same in English....
I though it would be fun to start a new thread on this as there are even more rumors posted around the web that the Revo 2 is due for October 20th, stated also on this following page, dated 08/30/2011:
http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-revolution-2-visits-the-fcc-in-the-form-of-vs920.html
Sorry if this was already posted. Otherwise, though this would be a good thread to start on some Revo 2 Hype.
I also came across this (LG Revo 2 VS920 Accesories Page.)

While the supposed specs are nice, I do not see myself going LG again. I have not owned a samsung or moto phone. The razr is pretty seksay and the nexus is well, nice and straight android... I like the idea of an AOSP phone. Tough call. Might consider it if LG released it with android 4. I will for sure be waiting till a month or so after the release of any future phone I may purchase. See what kind of development community forms and what issues may present themselves. They will need to release it soon or they will be to late to the party against some solid competitors.
1. Razr
2. Vigor
3. Nexus Prime
4. insert all the others I did not name.

I like the RAZR but I saw an article. Might be able to find it, will edit if I do or not. From what the video in the article say it's just the Bionic repackaged (with maybe a better screen? Don't remember) and you can't take the battery out that saddens me. Battery pops are sometimes the only way to do some things on these phones. The Nexus is the one I want but I saw another article saying that it comes in 16 and 32gb internal and it's not known if you can have an SD card (My main reason for disliking the iPhone). Also, it's not known if the battery will come out of that phone either. I don't know much about the Vigor so I will still my fingers for now.
Yeah I couldn't find them... Sorry History is full of a bunch of articles I've been reading tonight
Looks like the Revo 2 did go to a 3 button system which looks like will be the standard for Ice Cream Sandwich.. if the links are correct that is. Still I am in love with the Droid Razr.. sorry LG I was a Moto guy before and pretty sure I will be again some day!!
Anything with "Razr" attached to it usually sends up red flags for me. Have you ever seen anyone who owned the original Razr that still had a decent looking phone 6 months down the road? Yeah, me neither. The last thing I need is a $600 phone that falls apart if it hits a pillow from a drop of 12 inches.
My requirements on my next phone will probably be: NVidia architecture, 4G, and a 4+" screen. A year+ is a long time in the mobile industry, so let's see what they bring to the table.

If I wasn't addicted to Android I would buy that from you...
Would you buy lg again if there where to update the O2X GB/ICS within 2/3 month's
If ICS within 3 months. Then maybe.
But I don't think that ICS will come at all.
No, never again.
Not even a quick update to ICS would make me consider LG again.
I bought 2 O2x the day they were released, with an initial promise of gingerbread at release. It has since taken them almost 1 year to release gingerbread and during all this time I have furthermore had a product that beside lacking a promised gingerbread also has been fundamentally defective beyond repair - namely being cursed with random rebooting and many bsod's dayli, and a defective implementation of the operating system causing various other operational issues such as lag, memory leaks etc. which havent been fixed with the froyo updates that has been released.
I usually replace all my mobile technology atleast once a year, so basically I have had a full year paying for 2 phones which never got to the state of operational ability which it should have been in before ever being released as a product. Paying full premium price for a product that was never more than an alpha product, and a product which because of this also reduced its new sale value to half and its resale value to 1/4 of the price I paied - and having the frustration of owning a product that never even made normal production value during its normal lifetime with me.
So no matter what LG might do in the future they cannot make up for the loss I made during this year, both in terms of usability value, frustration and finansial loss.
For me, this means never LG product again in any form or shape, ever.
No. No. No.
Not, because LG don't keep their high-end mobile phone update schedules.
Not, because LG is constantly one step behind in terms of android version releases.
Not, because LG software development teams are literally inadequate.
Yes, LG mobile phones are the first to "dual-core".
Yes, LG mobile phones are the first to "3D".
Unfortunately, their post-sales support is pitiful.
I do not forget the fact that my 2X was the most expensive android device on the market when I bought it. I spent my hard-earned money to buy the current flagship android device and I deserve better post-sales support from LG.
If it not for Paul Obrien, XDA, Cyanomod and a few other gifted contributors to the Android dream, I would have turned into a Mango or an Apple by now.
LG's public relations (or lack thereof) is even worse.
Yesterday, I read "No ICS for 2X".
Today I read "Maybe, we're still testing and also depend on partners".
Tomorrow I will (probably) read "The 2X sales do not justify the R&D for an ICS port".
I am (probably) not alone in saying LG sells high-end hardware with low-end support.
I will continue to invest my two cents on Android and open technologies.
Definitely not LG.
Yes, as long they keep their bootloaders open...
Sent from my LG Optimus 2x using XDA Premium App
probably not, unless they radically change their support and strategy.
i dont have any hardware problems with my device but from what i read i might just got lucky.
if it was not for xda i would probably have sold that thing after a week because with the original rom its almost as slow as my old wildfire... and i got a new device to get a bit more speed.
however im running cm for about a hundred builds now, there were some frustrating times but now im happy with the performance and stability that this rom brought to my device. thanks to all the developers for the huge effort and nerves of steel
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Another high-end device? No more.
Low/mid-end device? Yes.
well, optimus 2x is a high end device with a low/mid price.
Yes I would buy lg again if theyll have open boot and low price but never on launch day again
YES!
as long as XDA lives! ^_^
Yes, but i will not suggest it to nobody. It's a brand for who wants to radically mod his phone.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990 usando Tapatalk
I would. This is their first major phone and they're still getting used to it all I think.
A lot of people ran with the whole never again Samsung thing, and look at them now, they got it sorted and everyone loves their phones and speed of updates.
I'm sure LG will get it right in the future.
Edit: Within 3 months? No, I will still have the O2X then I'm sure. I'm not rich enough to swap £400+ devices at will.
Maybe, but not so early. I would buy it only say 3 months after launch, when there will be enough feedback on the internet to assess all its bugs and hardware defects. And if I was to decide between two comparable phones, I would definitely not choose LG.
Only if the device has decent custom roms, because the LG software is pretty rubbish imo.
Well, LG has struggled alot but I still do think nvidia plays some part in this.
For a while I felt LG was treating customers like a baby was treating dipers.
Edit: Maybe I will buy lg again if they can turn everything around. They should get a second chance like everybody else.
Like somebody said, I wouldnt buy an LG on release for the full price, but I would buy one if it had a lower price than other comparable phones.
For example, I bought the O2X in August for 60% of the price of a SGS II (O2X was 3100 SEK, SGS II around 4500-5000).
If I were buying a top of the line Android for the full price (shortly after release), I'd go with Samsung or the Nexus (not a big HTC fan).
i started flashing rom's on my xperia x10, i did my research and bought the optimus 2x outright as an upgrade. it was so cheap for a dual core handset, and with the knowledge that i would root and flash cm7 strait away i am still very happy with the purchase. that being said if i was not a root user i would have thrown it through lg's front door ages ago. im still not sure why people complain about this phone, when most of us here on xda use custom firmware anyway. who cares about lg, the tireless efforts of all the dev's here mean that we can have a truly personalized phone without being owned or restricted by google alone. it makes me pitty iphone user's all the more... cheer up folks, the O2X is pretty sweet...

story of my life.
no seriously, i did actually have the x10 as my last phone and got my O2X for a bargain
I'd buy again if they keep their word and provide a timely update to ics, if not, screw them, I still have cm and other custom roms
i will.
Open bootloader, no warranty void for root, great prices?
Who can give me that?
I will if they put ICS in a decent time ...
Attention!
In light of all the posts that are deleted and/or closed due to many off-topic posts about what device a person should buy, I have created this official thread.
Although XDA is not a place to extensively talk about what device person should buy, some forums permit it. So to help keep the threads a little cleaner, you may post your questions here.
Granted there are other sites more into device reviews and comparisons, but in the interest of keeping some people happy, and to avoid getting posts deleted, this thread is created for people who have no idea what device to get.
In the end, you should still march your happy self to a shop, and play with the devices that are available. Only then will you be satisfied with your purchase.
Any posts elsewhere asking such questions, that should be in this thread, will still be deleted or closed. This includes posting multi-duplicated posts in several forums outside of official threads.
Thanks, and Hope you use this.
Since I'm having problems with the LG Revo, my question is should I wait for one of the quad-core phones to come out, or grab a droid razr or google nexus?
I'm a bit new to the android scene, and just wonder how much of a difference do we expect to see in terms of power between the current phones and quad-core.

Love the Revo Community.. if I could I would buy all of you guys HTC ReZounds which I now have. It is a damn good phone.. I know not the absolute best but what is best now will only be one-upped next month and so on.

Better than having this phone. Would do about anything to get a new phone that has better support.
just got an offer from verizon to get a new phone....
those of you that were able to switch, did verizon say the rarz maxx was excluded? did they also say that removable batteries and battery doors were not included for certain phones?
Hi everyone!
This is my first post here,so I am sorry if I am not supposed to post this question somewhere else.
Well,as the title says,I need your opinion for a purchase I want to do on a Android smartphone.
To be honest I am confused!
Okay to be more specific,the phones I really liked most are the following :
1)Samsung Galaxy S III
2)LG OPTIMUS 4X HD P880
3)HTC ONE X
And there is one rumored :
4)LG LS970 Eclipse 4G LTE(not compatible with my country's carriers,but I believe that this phone will be released to other countries too)
Now you might be wondering why am I looking for rumored phones,well consider this as a stupid thing that I always do with things I want to buy.
According to the budget,I will say that I can give 500-700$
I want the phone mostly,for emails,organizer,calendar,browsing on the internet,movies and most important for development.
So which one you recommend?I have heard tons of things for each phone.Please justify your answer.It would be really helpful!

Either the Htc One X or S3 don't ever buy an LG
Thank you for your answer.What is wrong about LG phones?Which one do you prefer most Htc One X or the S3 and why?
I noticed that the thread is in LG Revolution thread.I think I messed it up!
I think I've had enough.
I finally get my Revo where I want it, but continue to run into issues with accesories and a little ticked about no ICS. So, I plan to call Verizon and convince them to give a new phone. With that said it looks like the 4G options(No LG) are as follows:
1) RAZR MAXX
2) HTC Rezound
3) Galaxy Nexus
I'm looking for a good phone with a lot of support here on XDA. Any advice would be appreciated.
Nexus
Galaxy Nexus
I am never buying another LG. Im sticking to Motorola or HTC! This is my first android phone and while I appreciate the dev suppor here LG has totally let us down on this one. Plus Motorola and HTC have a way larger following and how HTC allows unlocked bootloaders im impressed!
LG Spectrum
The LG Spectrum seems like a quality phone. It's the big brother of the Revo and has ICS
