Sent from my MB860
I sold my Galaxy Tab to buy Optimus Black...
Anyways Desire HD if you want 8MP camera and 4.3 inch display & Desire S if you want front camera.
Dont buy Sony Ericsson devices bcoz its over now (only Sony from now) its support will soon be stopped by Sony (marketing strategy to increase its sale of new Sony devies).
I were you I would rather go for Desire HD.
DHD
Desire HD definitely, that was my device before OB, and now i miss that phone very much it's a great phone and it already have ICS and new HTC Sense 3.6 and 4.0 lite. DESIRE HD would be my choice
+1 for desire HD, great phone.

My God are you Impatient! I seriously doubt you know what "long time" means.
Whats wrong with people today? No patience and absolute devotion to deliberate obsolescence! "Oh there is an Update...i better get it within a few months or gtfo" and "Oh, i found something that Lags a sec.... better sell it and get something new"
I cant wait for the time when Technology gets expensive again (due to short resources or some real new inventions and not just "more HD" and "more whatever") and People start thinking with their Head instead of letting corporations think for you.
This is not about LG update Policy, its a general problem.
Sry, but i had to let it out!
PS: I bought a OB because it was cheap and got a bigger and better screen than the gt540. I owned 2 Smartphones in my life and i am still alive and well. before the gt540 i owned a Nokia 3310 for years.

Because only some people got Battery Problems here is a simple solution: smartflash the Original ROM and send it to LG for a repair. They fixed mine within 2 Days!
And if you want a long batterylife: Dont buy a Smartphone.
Mmm I agree that the OB have battery issue and yes it pisses me off too.... mm maybe you can consider having a phone with a large battery... just search at gsmarena. Of course, a smaller screen = more battery juice. So maybe consider a 3.7" screen like Motorola Defy (I had one, good battery life, and a lot of Roms!) Or even the Desire S (never used but Sense UI is great, & has front facing cam)

Display is not the problem becoz 700nit brightness hurts my eyes
It's hurting when you use it at night but when it is sunny, there you can appreciate the NOVA 700nits display. Other LCD like you have mentioned above is poor. On bright sunny days, you can't clearly see the screen. All smartphones has battery issues. That's a smartphone in nature. But it's your choice. We have our own discretion with regards to it. Moreover, I'm not here to argue with you. As to your question, I'll go with Neo V. My cousin have it and it's a great phone. Has HDMI too. And ICS was already released.

who ever said that was same one...???
I dunno, I guess I got the impression from some posts around here that it was identical to the buggy leaked version. I gather it's still buggy, but I won't be the one to find out
it has same kernel as Arabic MS...... that kernel aslo has DSI errors but little..... don no when is moto releasing stable.... Kernel...... ok finally decided to Leave Motorola never again to buy it.... Deciding to but some other May be Xperia..... Arc or Play ... whichever.

Get a HTC HD2. Mother of all phones. Looks like anything can run on it. They recently got debian to run on it. And it should cost about 20,000 here.
I am seriously thinking about getting one.

Don't get X10, pos screen doesn't even have multi touch and only does 65k colours. Locked down worse than milestone. Find a nice HTC or nexus. At least mm has a froyo kernel, x10 is stuck with eclair as it's not getting updated past 2.1. Plus the gpu is crap on snapdragon.

I wouldn't. Its not the greatest phone out there right now... I would wait for a dual core android phone from HTC or the iphone 5 (if there even is one, last one was summer release so it might be then as well this year)
I also wouldn't get the HD2 because its not the top-of-the-line phone and dualcore processor phones should be much better, and if they are nvidia dual core tegra 2 processors, they have tegra zone too, so more gaming possibilities and enhancements there.
Although many people do not like the Atrix, it does have 1 gb of ddr2 ram (not certain, but read somewhere) and a dualcore nvidia tegra 2 processor (i think both the cores equal to 1ghz)
+ I think nvidia said they expected quad core processors for mobile devices by this summer ( I THINK! not sure, saw somewehre on engadget I THINK!)
Lastly, the EVO 3D looks cool too, and I would wait for that if I had the money, and not stuck on a contract. Evo3d video: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/
YAY official update!
So...After all my moaning and crying about the locked bootloader I go and get an ATRIX.......
Say what you will about Motorola, they make some awesome hardware. The Atrix a such a amazing phone. After freezing down all the Blur app it is the best phone i've ever used.
On another note: HTC is starting to lock down their phones (htc thunderbolt), I hope this isn't going to be true with all manufactures.

Yep, sometime around q3; which if years of experience with se are anything to go by, means by the end of the year. By then, the x10 will be nearing the end of its useful life - given its limited memory etc. There are much better options out there.

I placed this in Q/A instead of general cause..... it's a question that's been bugging me since the beginning of all this X8 Modding stuff.
The question is Why did you buy the Xperia X8 when after, rooting and unlocking, a lot of people will want to install an HTC sense ROM or basically Clone the look of the HTC sense UI?
Why not buy the HTC Wildfire S? same proc speed, same GPU, TRUE DUAL Touch Capacitive screen, 512 ROM, 512 RAM (418 useable) and upto 32GB SD Support and Built in Android 2.3. and ofcourse SENSE UI 2.1.
BTW, this question is really valid only for those who bought their X8's after May2011.
hi
i live in iran and htc wildfireS in my country is 320 Rial
but xperia x8 is only 180 Rial !!!!

That's actually a good reason. Price.... but, with the wildfire S which is less than double the price of the X8 you don't have to root and hence lose your waranty, and more than double the benefits of the X8. (RAM,ROM,True DT, Ginger ROM, etc)
Not dissing anyone or their decision on getting the X8, coz i love my X8 too and believe it or not, i like the original SE UI compared to HTC Sense. That was actually the reason why i got the X8 against the original Wildfire, and that was almost year ago. when the price of the X8 is actually more than the original Wildfire.
But my Question remains, with all the benefits of the Wildfire S, aside from price. Why get the X8?
and, Why put in Sense UI?
'Coz, to me it doesn't make sense...
.....Just asking.....
Cause it was Cheap
My friends told me that it is good
Can be over clocked highly D
Unfortunatelly it hasn't got so good camera, but it is good enough for me...
Because my gf want a phone that match my x10.. (^^,)

Very good of you
But i believe that yes, in the heart of it all, it comes to looks. Compared to the others, SE phones are probably the sexiest phones around, bar none.
i mean, if you didn't know the specs and you had the current superphones (Atrix, Sensation and S2) side by side with the ARC or NEO, what will you buy?

yeah, same....
I bought it (July '11) mainly because of the special offer by my italian mobile carrier (49 €)
My primary phone was and is a Nokia N85, and I took the chance to finally try an Android-based phone with a very good specs/price ratio
Why X8?
I buy X8, while I'm a serious SonyEricsson fan (K510,K750,W585 and X8)
This model have a good price/knowledge ratio, and smaller than X10
Here in Portugal, Vodafone PT:
Sony Ericsson X8 €124,89
HTC Wildfire S €229,90
I think this is the reason why a lot of people buy X8 instead of WildFire S

I would probably still choose smartphones in the Xperia base because they look awesome and their specs are pretty good too.
Hope that helps.
The funny thing about the new xperia's is that SE is now helping with the development if 3rd party ROMs. Bold move, but I guess they learned their lesson from the F&ups of 2009-2010. ie the Arc is what the X10 should have been.
Hardware wise, they have to catch-up on the Super Smart Phone and tablet bandwagon.

How can LG treat its flagship product like this? even HTC Incredible S, single core, certainly get 4.0 upgrade, recent announce by HTC. 2X is a DualCore smartphone, hah??? no 4.0 ?? fuzzy.

Really disappointed. Almost all the other brands(HTC, Samsung, Moto) have announced that most of their android 2.3 smartphones will be upgradable to ICS.
If LG really not provide ICS for optimus black/2x, certainly no one would buy its products again
Agreed. Very disappointing. I love my optimus black but I hate LG now. If optimus black won't have been such an amazing good phone I would have sweared not to buy another LG product for sure.

Well, I think it's still too early to say. ICS has just been released only anyway, i guess it takes time to determine if it comes. Some people say it might come, some say it might not. Only time will tell. Though one thing's right though, updates are awfully slow. I don't know if the LG team is incompetent or just not dedicated, but the other manufacturers are doing a much better job :/

IPS is very good and natural in color. But nova bright LEDs are just a gimmick. I compared nova and super amoled from nexus s with high brightness, okay p970 has the most brightness but.everthing washed out. Super amoled can keep black color in maximum brightness. But who uses max brightness???

It's worth trying.
Does the recent firmware update fix the autofocus problem when recording videos? Also, is the audio quality really as bad as gsmarena is saying?
There are still Problems with the autofocus.
10B just changed the tegra3 usage... at least ... this is what I saw.
Next update should come in near future (said LG Korea)
from my optimus 2x scenario's I would never buy another LG phone, I currently have a HTC one X, that runs flawlessly.
I went back to my original O2x the other day to see how it was, and It was diabolical, slow laggy loss of signal, terrible battery, 3g drop all the time ahahah terrible, and that was stock rom from LG, its been out for over a year now and they still havn't fixed the problems.
Good luck to the brave people who buy an LG
LG did say they will guarantee updates for all compatible phones
Can't post link but from TechRadar:
Back in February at MWC 2012, we spoke to LG regarding the Jelly Bean update and the manufacturer confirmed it would guarantee an upgrade to Android Jelly Bean for all compatible 2012 handsets.
We will have to wait and see if it delivers on that promise.
Update: A spokesperson for the firm has told TechRadar: "LG will continue to support the latest android platforms, across LG devices however at present an exact date is not yet confirmed."

Personally i'd like to see manufacturers offering the customer a choice when updates aren't possible of either switching to the latest, vanilla Android or remaining with the skinned version.
In theory every Android phone should be able to run vanilla Android?

I wait on my LG, was hard get my hands on a White atm. where i live..
And i have hox and also use my s3 right now, still i realy like that New LG.
What i realy did like on the LG was the screen, just that was worth get one.
But for them who get a phone to have for long time maybe it is risky if they dont do updates. For myself i am just happy if it works for some time till something New comes ..

It is worth buying in my opinion! I've had mine for some days now and it's wonderful.
The screen is GREAT. The phone is very fast, haven't noticed any lag yet. The only problem that I've found is the annoying autofocus when you record video. But that's it so far.
Mistaken beliefs
Hi all,
I've read the previuos post and i disagree.
I've had a LG O2X, my experience is very very good.
It 'true that the updates to LG were not good and fast, but from my direct experience I believe that this model has been among the most well-supported by the community.
With a custom ROM and a good baseband O2X it's an awesome smartphone!
I bought a 4x optimus 7 days ago and the only thing I can say is: awesome!!!
There's no comparison with SG3, in particular the screen is something impressive.
And all benchmarks against Exynos are not very representative, then we must actually see when using what are the pros and cons.
As regards the updates I also sincerely hope that LG has changed and offering a better service.
Otherwise I'm sure the community will surprise us as he did with O2X.

Same experience here! Love the phone!
And its get a bit hot when in use but it doesn't matter for me. I suppose it could be fixed with an update..
Autofocus problem I'm sure can be fixed aswell..

+1 - the 4X is brilliant. And since the v10b update 2weeks ago it's no longer hot and lasts longer. HIGHLY recommended.

If you install a third party video recording app, will it fix the autofocus problem?

Interesting, the Tegra 3 devices (One X and 4X) both use kernel version 2.6.39.4 while the Galaxy S3 uses the 3.0.15. Is there any significant change between those two kernels?
Hi,
look at this and you know why 3.0 Kernel didn't work with Tegra 3 :silly:

Hmm, there were few threads you could adjust your dissapointment. And if you just want official then you were never had to root your mobile. There are good JB ROMs in development thread (yet bugs but in development) and those are good hands to wait till they dont give up. BTW had you ask any 1 here befor buying OB ? So why telling us about selling. Its not ebay or amazon.

Remember to create another thread when you actually buy another phone to tell us how much better it is.

Why does everybody find the SII good It is honestly not that good!! It's screen is oversaturated, to the point when your eyes can't stand colours anymore, and you would prefer to see in black n white
Well the official release will definitely come SOON, but we just don't know when... probably end on October npw. I would recommend you to wait for the official ICS and try it and decide whether you really want to change rom...
If so, I would definitely recommend you to take the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... It's just way better than SII... Since it's a Nexus phone.. It will be a potential candidate to obtain AT LEAST 3 major updates...
It was released with ICS, then got Jelly Bean, and will certainly get the next android version.
lol...stop eating his head guys
don't create a new thread mate, didn't you read what the mod said?

Thanks i'll consider it...
Buy Google nexus if you really want a smartphone that always first to receive updates to the operating system.
Samsung galaxy nexus II, LG nexus optimus G and HTC nexus 5 is coming...
those are rumours but still might be coming out
i'd suggest wait one month more, prices will fall

I google about phones you mentioned, but they are out of my range. I m confused between SGSII and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

As I said. Take Galaxy nexus loL! It's newer, have a better hardware design, really good design... one of the most beautiful phone IMO.. Only downside is that it doesn't have SD car slot I think...
If I knew the Galaxy Nexus before the Optimus Black, I would, without hesitation, take SGN

The iPhone is overpriced. You can get a way better android phone for the same price.
