Well it's a pretty fast phone, I use it since Tuesday and I can say i'm very satisfied from it.
P.S I was an iPhone user.
The Current stock roms isn't 100% perfect.
But the new ones do make this phone perfect.
If you play with this phone and HTC Sensation you will think and feel that the O2X is faster.
Compared with SG2 they feel the same.

hi
and the price of this phone in my country is cool 4k less than the other two(i mean indian rupees)
thanks for ur very nice info
Well, you will feel that the sgs2 is faster and smother but that just because it is using gingerbread. When O2X updated to gingerbread, it should be on equal.
But the sgs2 do have a bigger rom but whatever O2X has it's enough for daily usage.

With me being a software whore, installing all kinds of crap, games, software, trying out one piece of crap after another without actually deleting anything it still feels pretty "snappy" after a while
I'm on stock ROM, only rooted and flashed baseband 0502..
I can live with the phone as is, but boy do i look forward to an upgrade thats gonna fix the craxy battery issue (sometimes my phone (with normal use) can run 8-10 hours, another day it can run for one hole day ( 8 in the morning to mid day the day after).. so its not consistent..
The reboot proble is not that big an issue for me anymore (one reboot last week, no BSOD)
I would, considering the price in Norway, still buy this over the Galaxy S2
It feels nice.. good built, camera is a big plus, screen is good, overall i think the phone is a winner!
-TES
Must say this is a brilliant phone, just install cm7 its very stable now, been using it for 2 days and its miles better than the stock rom. Well worth the money i paid £330GBP for it. Worth every penny
SGSII Might be a tad faster (as in smoother) in rendering Webpages, but the Tegra2 gets better optimized Tegra Apps. The Samsung Exynos seems to have many issues according to Market reviews.
Sensation seems to have worse camera quality.
I like the LG O2X design MUCH better than both of the other phones, SGSII having this fugly button and Sensation having this ugly round tricolor back.
O2X has backlight bleeding in many (most?) shipped phones.
SGSII also seems to have display issues - yellowish on one side, blueish on the other.
Best bang for the buck is surely O2X.
I'm planning on getting this phone and I have a few questions...
Is there an improvement in browser flash performance with updates because its quite crappy over the GSII and GS plus(youtube.com/watch?v=CCUkYyfBx4w)?
Is there improvement in camera performance because (again) its quite worse than the GSII - both having a resolution of 8mp?
I'm asking this because these are mainly software "issues" and most of the time manufacturers don't give a **** about them, although it would make the customers freaking happy
If you have 2 times more money to waste on GS2 do it i bought this on for 300 Euros and GS 2 cost about 570, and the improvments in GS2 dont worth 270 Euros for me...

Hey
Can someone, expecially IEski, tell me where to get O2X the cheapest?
It's 500 € in Estonia But it does come with an HDMI cable. Nevertheless it's still a bit too expensive.
If anyone can suggest an online shop that ships to Estonia and has it at a good price?
Thx.
Netherlands around 300 euros

This phone can do everything the sgs2 can, and costs less. The sgs2 can't do all the stuff the lg o2x does (tegra game play, full hdmi mirror).
Worth the occasional reboot, which I mostly avoid by removing the SD card.
I got my O2x a few days ago and I am super pleased with it!!!
Not a single reboot or glitch running on MCR F17, it has exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The build quality and screen are top notch as well!

Hi Haree,
Sorry for the late reply! Got it for 25,500/- with bill at National market. Has HDMI cable included. Its 2 months old today, but I don't know the current price. May have gone up with sgs2 out of stock. Good thumbrule is flipkart price minus 1000/-.
I see this phone has got good response in Singapore and Malaysia, (lowyat.net, vrzone.net, hardwarezone.com forums) where the users are more tech savvy.
At first I was very dissapointed with the phone. The LG customized launcher was absolutely not showcasing the hardware capabilities, and the battery life was short, even after months of getting used to the phone.
When I rooted and flashed Cynanogenmod (CM7) to the phone, it was a completely different experience. First and foremost - the battery life is extremely great. It's incredible. And then - with 2.3.4 on it and all other CM7 related configurations, the phone is pretty damn fast! So - either wait for LG to fix up their ROM or install CM7, that will change pretty much everything.
My 2 cents...within the first week I had BSOD on stock and custom roms. Got a refund and havent looked back
hi guys,im going to have a milestone for texting purpose,milestone is the temporary choice for me considering its appearance and 2nd hand price,i would like to ask for some advice whether i should buy it or i should buy another better one in your opinions

Honestly, I would go for something better. Unless you are really looking for a physical keyboard to text on that is. The HTC Desire Z/G2 is another physical keyboard slider that is better spec'd than the Milestone and less outdated. If you can get that I think it'd be a good deal.
If all you are doing is texting, then yes, the Milestone can be a good option. But for anything else, it is starting to become outdated and pales in comparison to other phones.
i see but i can hardly find a phone which apperance is as nice as milestone...so im still thinking...thx

Honestly speaking, you should seriously wait for a new device or purchase something like the Samsung Galaxy S 2. Trust me the milestone is a little too outdated with dual core processors at 1.5GHz beginning to be rumoured about and milestones 550mhz processor not to mention the insufficient amount of ram - 256mb in comparison to others with like 1gb ram e.g. atrix, samsung galaxy s 2 i think. If you are patient and have the money I would wait to see what google will be unveiling soon (probably october 11 ctia or something) or even what apple is most likely unveiling on october 4th.
Milestone even though is outdated can be kept alive, but it involves flashing, tuning, trying, etc. And even after that it still has very small RAM.
If you prefer the looks and you have a _really_ cheap offer and you are short on money you might consider it buying. If not, just wait (as everyone else suggests ).
oh,it seems that i should really consider it carefully,thx guys
Milestone is showing its age bro. If u really want a qwerty android then htc desire Z or milestone 2 is for u.
Buy only if u've got a very good offer on the second hand milestone. U might have to do quite a bit of tweaking n roms testing to find sumthin for ur needs. Gud day

From your name I'd assume you are from/in India! Can you please tell me where did you pre-order it?
I was waiting for a 4.8 inch phone with good sound quality from Samsung(just personal preference) n of course I'll get GS III. In case any of you followed Supercurio on Twitter, it seems GSIII also has a Wolfson 1811 audio chip, which Supercurio reckons is the best for high quality mobile audio. N that is the reason why I was stuck with Galaxy S n not upgraded to S II!!
Size is very much a personal preference, but for my use n hand size the 4.8 inch will be ideal to web browsing n video!!! (How do I know that, well I have tried Note n it was too big for me, n I have also tried my roomies 4.5" GS II Skyrocket n I reckon I can go .3" bigger than that !!

I think it is a great phone but it lacks RAM so i think it will not last many android updates.
Will wait for SGS4 :-D
I will buy some used i9100 after the SGS3 will be on most markets .... I think it will be best buy - really good phone and minimal investment ... and it is way better than sgs1
Just ordered my gs3, which according to o2 UK guarantees its delivery day after release. Won't hold my breath on that though lol.
Handset is free and bought my monthly payments down by £5. Only bugger is its a 2 year contract.

well for my concern i think i will go for a SGS2 since its allready lowering price where live or a Sony Xperia S since the GS2 has a 480x800 4.3 and the Xperia S has a 720x1280 (that or a GS nexus DOH! ...) or keep my GS till GSIII lower price ... or till i get a carrier action on it ... gahhhh to much to think .. overload ... reboot brain ... pfuuhh i guess i stick with my GS under 4.0.4 (currently switching thru 6 custom ICS roms that are allways on my micro SD ... and devil/semaphore kernel> devs make the GS totaly worth it ...

I havent ordered one but the cheapest UK deal Ive seen is at buymobilephones, stock expected 30th May. Best mobile comparison site is http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/mobile-phones/Samsung/Galaxy-S3 Im considering waiting until Im in the US soon to see if I can pick one up a bit cheaper. Will need to be unlocked though which will no doubt be a bit more pricey. Havent made my mind up.

Thanks, I've been keeping an eye on the deals and trying to get my network to match the ones Ive seen. Often the best deals seem to be reserved for new customers (im currently with o2) but Ill try again tomorrow. Mobiles (which I think are owned by cpw) have a tempting deal on talkmobile 300 mins, unlimited texts, 1 gb data works out £30.71 per month but you gotta put a lotta cash upfront to buy the phone.
I may wait it out.
I would totally like to upgrate my SGS to a SGS3 but it's just too expensive!
I'll wait till the prices drop
i think il keep my galaxy s gt i9000 for another year....so long as it gets a good jellybean rom
Not too inclined to upgrade. I'm actually happy samsung didn't discard the home/touch buttons yet, i find this set of buttons perfect (the missing search one is useless anyway and i find it very practical to wake my phone from the frontal button). I'm not too thrilled about pentile but not gonna fuss about that, at least until i see it. I may yet change my mind when i see one but from the pictures i find the phone rather ugly - it's way too stretched/tall and that oval shape isn't working for me the least. That's kind of a dealbreaker if you think there are plenty of options playing in the same league showing up frequently and only more will come.
But what really breaks it for me is the fact my SGS is still plenty for just about anything i throw at it. There is little any other phone can do my SGS can't I'm referring to useful stuff, not talking about NFC no one uses yet and probably won't fly with people either. I also don't NEED my phone looking me in the eyes to not shut screen off, i can manage that much
All in all, the SGS is still a superb phone, battery lasts for the day, phone flies with the latest ICS custom roms (getting beter by the minute), boss-level audio quality, gorgeous screen with perfect size (i love reading, browse a lot and find it perfect), runs just about any game/app i throw at it (although i'm not even a phone-gamer), has a very decent camera (even without flash), brilliant bluetooth interface with my car (media streaming, loudspeaker, etc) is highly customized to my needs, i actually find it good looking AND can even place phone calls and sms's
So no, i will most likely not upgrade anything unless something completely unplanned happens.
Hey guys:fingers-crossed:
Last summer I found this forum and had alot of fun with my Xperia Pro
Now I am looking for new phone, its been 4 months and still spending too much energy to find my perfect phone..
So, which from these phones u think is best to buy?
s2, s3 mini, s advance, optimus black, one S, xperia sola, arc S
It also need much-very much development
Thanks!
i suggest you a glaxy s2 , if u cant afford it then wait ,, otherwise you wont have a great device in that range of price

Camera is good with official ROM, not so good with CM based ROMS.
Rather see if you can get Nexus 4. It's in your price range (actually depends on where you are, availability and price differs from country to country) and much better than all your options your considering.
http://www.google.co.za/nexus/4/
Most of those phones you are considering have been on the market a while and the older the device the smaller the community and slower the development gets as people get newer phones. If I had to choose one of them I'd choose the One S, no questions asked. Much faster than the competition,has official JB and is still fairly new.
F*ck Samsung .
Buy Acer cloudmobile s500.
Low-price and high performance... just perfect .
HTC One S no doubt
best dual core, i mean..... cortex a15...maaannn.....that was fast........

Unfornatuely the Nexus 4 costs €600 here thats far above my budget, also I am looking for smaller sized phones.
I just came across the Desire X. It fits all my requirements only thing is that currently almost no development
Thats why I asked u guys u have experience and optimus black was my 1st choice. But how bout the camera, is it good? and speed? I also see theres alot of development on the Optimus black, the white one also looks sexy:good:

Why should I buy an unkown brand in the smartphone community? And I thoguht Sasmung is known for his good wuality cameras / phones
It has been a very good phone for me you know. It has been with me for about one and a half years and it has come over a car crash, fallen into a pool, dropped a lot of times and in one of those it fell from a 1st floor directly to the ground. I had to change the gorilla glass screen which was about 30 us dollars. It has been an adventure and it continues. Camera is not the best but as any other bad mobile camera, it takes very good full light photos. There is still a hell of a development going on. It is just as fast as 80% of optimus 2x stock if you are running zeus rom with cpu at 1350Mhz. Screen has enough brightness, everything is big and legible and we are having official stock ICS modded in some days, actually now. What else can i say? I am not marketing this phone but it is a good buy. If you are looking for a fond working phone this might be your choice, believe me. If you are looking for a fast like hell phone just dont look for LG OB. Hope Ive helped.
PS: getting a GS2 wont hurt...

Sorry to hear that. It went for alot cheaper in some countries.
Desire X is a good choice HW wise. Not as good as the One S, but cheaper and doesn't have as big a screen. (The One S's graphics Chipset will run circles around all the other phones even the SGS2).
If you want a good community, look at previous flagship phones or really good for it's price phones of well known brands (Unknown brands tend to have much smaller communities).
This phone actually has a large Chinese community that doesn't interact with this forum much. I think I'm missing our sometimes since Google Translate can only do so much.
If you can afford it I would go for the One S.
Your Xperia Pro is on par with most of the other phones and I wouldn't pay money to get another similar phone. I don't think a upgrade is necessary actually.
I told ya.. best performance at that price :good: .
It`s released in September 2012, I guess that`s why there`s no developing topic in this community.
I guess they`ll add it to XDA soon, cause it`s a cool phone .
And it`s f*cking better than S2 .

Awesome phone, but doesn't have XDA page and probably very little community development atm. A little bit better than One S.

High-end.If you don't mind waiting you could see if the Acer's development picks up before making your final choice.
When buying a phone second hand make sure it hasn't been tinkered and OC'ed and with HTC make sure it's still S-ON that way you know it hasn't been tinkered with.

Yes. I'm not sorry about it, but it's getting old. Quite a few great devs moved on already. Theres still plenty of skill and commitment here though and we might be getting official CM10.1 soon (G+ pictures from official dev has already been posted, but no nightlies appeared yet).
Lol....
No guys, its not the Htc one S.
I went back to Xperia P, again.Yes, first time I got it on summer but traded it for Xperia Pro. Now 4 months without smartphone and of research.. I REALLY regret I was so stupid! [at that time there wasnt any development]
I mean 8mp camera, dual core and handsome: the perfect phone!
Only thing is battery, isnt it replaceble with a 1750 li-on??
If you want long lasting battery, go witg Motorola Razr MAXX lol dunno if its in your price range though. But yeah One S looks superb. Hmm..

But, after seeing the spec sheet of Snapdragon, comparing the Snapsragon 600 (used in HTC One) vs the Snapdragon 800 the latter seems to be far better than the 600 series. Also, in the spec sheet the SD 600 is categorized under mid-high end phones, where the SD 800 is intended for super premium phones, tablets and smart tv's. Source: Spec sheet and Qualcomm Press Release
So, I'd like to know your opinions. Should I go for the HTC One, which seems a great phone overall, just not the best possible SOC (but great enough for a phone I reckon), or should I wait for one of the first Snapdragon 800 devices?
These days no matter which phone you buy, few months later something better will get released.
And besides that, at the moment snapdragon s4 pro is best soc available(until htc one comes out) and snapdragon 600 is suppose to be 40% better in performances, so I would definitely go for it...

I don't think we will see the 800 on phones at least not until a new chip can beat the 600.....

at this point i honestly feel like phones don't really have a need to get any faster for day-to-day usage. it's more about software features. 1080p is nice, but it's not a MUST HAVE over a 720p. snapdragon 800 is a great bonus if you're in the market for a smartphone when it comes out, but getting the s4 pro or the 600 will probably not give you any lag or speed problems. i mostly root and install stock android on most of my phones so the 2 things i always look for are:
1. battery life
2. design
that's it. though i wonder if i'd rather stay on htc sense if i ever get an htc phone. everyone always bashes it but i find sense to be extremely good looking (even better than stock).
S800 will come around Q4..And there isno end to it.I am sure when it comes out there will be talksof anoher high end soc..S900 maybe..Its only bcoz u know about it that you are waiting..you should not wait and besides s600 is blazingly fast and the fastest chip so far!
after the S800 the S900 then the S1000 etc... every few months there will be something newer and faster just like dual core, quad core and now the supposed 8core chips that are being developed or already developed ... as well as the SGS3 then SGS4 then SGS5 , note 3, then note 4 etc.. you get the idea if you wait for the newer thing thats "about to come out" then your gonna always end up waiting and never have anything ...
Since I get a new phone every 2 years I could wait a couple of months for better, newer hardware though. SD800 devices are said to use Quick Charge 2.0 and Voice activation, which are ONLY available only for the SD800 devices. I read somewhere that there are already 55 SD800 devices in the works (source), so waiting a couple more months for a significant performance boost, even lower battery drain, and charging the battery up to 75% faster seems logical to me. (Not to mention encode/decode of 4K HD content, 50% boost in graphics and 100% boost in performance due to Adreno 330, 50% faster LTE bandwidth and clocked to 2,3GHz) Those are a lot of high percentages! Voice activation could be interesting, but I rarely use voice so that's not a big deal for me. Maybe in the future when Google Now becomes available in the Netherlands though.
The comments are understandable that you should not wait for the next best thing as you will end up having nothing. But a few more months for such a performance and feature boost, to me, is a better insurance my phone will keep up the next 2 years (hardware wise).
But thanks again for the replies!
Well, I've had early access to one running a final build in Canada. If it's performance you're worried about; I've ran Nenamark 2 on it, and it never went below 60 FPS. The result was 60.2 average.
The only major thing that could have made me wait though is the quicker charging feature, however I mostly charge my devices at night so charging times makes little difference to me.
Don't take my word for it though, I'm biased towards the One. I've been following it since it was just a rumor and had already pre-ordered it.
Its the most poerful device rite now..what else do u want? Evn s4 wont be that big a difference..and plasticky
Life is short, buy the best one that is offered in the given moment!

i take now, is away more powerfull than my gs3 and better construction
HTC One + will be out in a couple of months after the S4 release, as HTC always does.
And XDA will be there to make sure there would be no difference between the two (maybe apart from storage).

Well, 'no difference' would be a little weird since they always upgrade something in the hardware department, otherwise it's just the same phone. I'm still hoping HTC will release a new One model, like the One+, but hopefully with the SD800 (and all the perks that go with it). That would be the perfect phone I think..

Until a couple of months down the line when something else that makes us drool is released.

According to some rumours there may be S800 phones out as early as July. I don't think anyone really knows.
I say you wait, that's what I'm doing. Q4 we are going to see the snapdragon 800 and tegra 4, hell we might even see the Exynos 5 make its way to America maybe in the next Note (assuming it becomes LTE compatible). but these processors far out class what you would be getting in the One or S4, so what's 3 months.
And the Results are? :::drum roll:::
Greetings, Bramgg. After Googling the SAME question... it brought me to your post and this forum. I was fascinated by some of the insightful comments you got on this post, Bramgg. i'm a AT&T customer in the US and unless i plan on losing my fishing partner (and more importantly his boat!! lol) i'm pretty locked in with my service provider! Lol.
I currently am using an HTC Vivid (pausing for those reading this to groan) and i'm primarily still using that phone because i have been dragging my feet waiting for the Snapdragon 800. i happen to REALLY like HTC even though i can't deny the sluggish performance and lag times on the Vivid have been verrrry frustrating. I guess my frustration is part of the reason i have dragged my feet in selecting a new phone but honestly, i can't take it any more!! i need a new phone.... hopefully in the next few days.
I have a real fascination with the Snapdragon 800... and am curious if you waited for it or went with the 600 as you were contemplating? Are you pleased with the speed? This is kind of embarrassing to admit on an advanced user forum but i'm not even aware if the 800 is out yet and available on HTC devices. I'm not completely locked into HTC i guess, but i do like the 'Shortcut to Four Apps' feature on the lock screen and i do think they build a high quality phone compared to many of the other companies who flood the market with phones and discontinue them three months later.
Thanks in advance for any help you or others reading this can provide... i'm very anxious to have a phone that responds more quickly.
Steven

Shadow, I'm fascinated (and slightly jealous! lol) of your knowledge on processors. i told Bramgg (in a post below on this thread) a few details about what i'm contemplating and why. May i get your thoughts please... when time permits, of course. i suppose i could wait a week or so if something specific had already been announced but i'm not sure i can wait much longer for a new device as i'm verrrrrry frustrated with the lagging on the HTC Vivid. The Vivid has a 1.2 GHz dualcore processor with 1GB of memory... but it's not cutting it. Texts, Apps opening... all verry slow.
Thanks in advance.
Steven
