Straight Talk - LG Optimus Black

Please refrain from flaming me too hard.
Is this the same phone available through Wal-Mart's Straight Talk??

No one? I'm curious because my father picked up a Samsung for straight talk, but there is no root for the model he bought. If this LG black will work...I'm going to tell him to return it and get this one. I appreciate any input.

To keep or not to keep??

Just got the LG Thrill but forums seem dead, and not a lot being developed for this phone should I go ahead and return it and get something else?
Feedback would be greatly appreciated..

Do you like the phone? That should answer your question on whether to return it or not.
First off, this question should be in the general section as there is no "Development" going on in it.
Second, Overall, the Thrill is a great phone with Amazing potential when Gingerbread is finally released. When ICS is released, even better. I still feel that when Gingerbread hits, there will be a lot more development going on as no one wants to develop for Eclair since it will be updated in less than a month (hopefully).
With the tri-dual technology, this thing could demolish the SGS2 if given the correct software.
Yes, more development is going on over in the SGS2 forums, so you have a tough decision to make my friend.
Ya I'm a flashaholic, so seeing this forum without very much development on roms is the only thing making me second guess my purchase, the phone itself on the other hand is a very nice piece of machinery...i mean i love the phone even in its stock form...but like i said im a flashaholic and love just tinkering with my phone...not a developer at all : / though I wish i were. I'm coming from a Mytouch 4G which I had sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5...so its just a whole new world to me I guess..

[BOUNTY] ICS or JB Rom for Revolution

I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.
I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.
If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).
and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).
PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.
Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).
I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2
Reserved for tracking total etc.
Update 02/26/13: Total Pledge: $210!
If you have been thanked by me, your pledge is included in the total.

I'll toss another $20 in the ring.

Sorry it isn't much but I'll add $5 into the pot. I don't have much time left with the revo but had a great experience with the community here! This is my first android phone and am thankful for the development for it!
5$! Sorry it's not much, but whatever works right?
five bucks is plenty really. Thank you!
now if we can just get some more people to pledge and get a devs attention we might be in business

I'll throw in $25

I'll throw in another $25. We definitely need a dev for this phone.

Posting here works fine. If you all keep up with my Esteem progress then you already know I jumped to CM10. I will copy and make the needed changes to me repo for the Revo soon, trying to get it in some sort of usable state.

Seidio

I bugged Seidio about a possible Nexus 10 case, and was informed they don't have any plans. They suggested sending an email to [email protected] to request it. You should check out their iPad/Nexus7 cases and if you think its something you like, send an email too.
https://twitter.com/seidioseidio/status/266203118155485184
Case itself can be seen here:

It's pretty high quality stuff. Love the one I had for my Kindle Fire.

Hello Seidio Team,

I would appreciate about a positive feedback!

I'd remove the word "until" that implies you're asking for an end date, after which you can no longer buy it.
Currently that's an impossible situation since its not yet in existence

Bootloader to be unlocked

Yes, Motorola is planning to have the bootloader unlocked. The thing is, no one knows when.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
You've already posted that here.
Tech support knows less than we do most of the time. Means absolutely nothing.
That's why its in general. To have a conversation about it. I posted it in the other forum to just show, not start a new conversation there about it. Since that one is strictly for bootloader unlocking. I will speak with another tech support to see if I get the same result
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Does this mean Motorola will get the bounty we started? Maybe we should tell them, after all it might help seeing they aren't doing well enough to stop laying people off!

Yea I will donate my bounty if Motorola Unlocks my phone. So hopefully Moto reads this and wants to help starving children in Africa.
If Motorola unlocks the bootloader, then I'll be more than happy to donate my pledge to a reputable charity. But this is good news, hopefully that tech support rep knew what they were talking about!
Besides that I'm sure moto could give 2 f*[email protected] about a few hundred dollars lol.

Personally I hope we unlock it ourselves before Motorola
