Why wait? Get rid of that piece of consumer unfriendly product and buy either an iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy S 2.
Who wants to run 2.3 on a LG phone if the Galaxy S 2 already comes with it and is able to generate over 3 million preorders?

simpe. i had the SGS2 for while and played with it for while. and i hate the Mali GPU. it doesnt even run most of the good games. those games needs to be tweeked in order for them to run. which is not good for a gamer like me. Plus the exclusive Tegra games is a plus. hell the SGS2 cant run yooninja without sound skipping and game frame skipping. and i will not wait for developers to re build their games so i can play them.
i love the screen . but thats about it for the SGS2. its very thin. its very big. i like the thin part. i dont like the big part.
over all its a good phone. but if i will buy a phone which i use for gaming. i am ending up with 3 options
1- xperia play for the Dpads.
2- iphone for the huge selection of games.
3- Tegra 2 android device for obvious reasons i mentioned above.
i am very much leaning toward an iphone. but none of the 3 options above are bad choices.
there will be an SGS 2 with Tegra 2. that much has been confirmed. when that gets released. i am there day one.

Agree! Also here in Netherlands rumord end of July.

Thing is, if like me your into gaming... the Galaxy S2 isn't the choice given that for the UK at least, we won't see a Tegra version. There are games that aren't compatible with the Galaxy S2.
Back on topic... The O2X is in need of a updating ASAP. TBH, I take it with a pitch of salt until I start to see people on here say they are now updating to 2.3 either via PC or Handset Updater.
Yes, there are problems at the moment but LG WON'T leave it like this. I would rather LG wait until its ready, than rush and end up with more problems etc...

I aslo heard rumors for June, july. Time will show

Well... things have a habit of taking an extra month in the LG world... So i think not before august.

[Q] What did you think of the Samsung Galaxy Note Super Bowl Ad?

I though it sucked really bad. Not only it is lame but it rarely talks about the device itself and they kind of abused their simple idea which was used for the Galaxy S II.
An ad like this one would've worked like magic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvUK2VmbO2I
But unfortunately, this just comes to show how corporate Samsung ruins simple ideas for the money. I bet all what they were thinking about was spending more money to justify the spots costs, while completely ignoring that simple is what works these days.

Only 3 threads so far on this? I predict 10
From the Beast : Galaxy Note

I like it very much,simple yet effective....
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

I liked the ad a lot.
A. It had the song "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," by The Darkness (LOVE THAT SONG).
B. It had Brian Urlacher
C. It had Miranda Kerr (YES!)
D. It showed the 2 MAIN features of the phone which truly distinguishes it from the iPhone - the 5.3" screen and the stylus without being over-technical. If you ever watch iPhone ads, they are never over-technical and focus more on design and simplicity, which Samsung must do to appeal to the non-techie masses. Have you ever seen an iPhone TV ad stating what speed is the processor or how many megapixels is the camera?

No, but they do show it actually being used for something other than dancing around in the street. You can show real-life usability without being too technical.

They did show usability:
1. How you can annotate Google Maps using the S-Pen
2. How you can do video chat (just like the iPhone) but without being on WiFi only.
3. How you can take a photo and doodle on the pic directly (in this case Brian Urlacher autographing is picture).

The commercial was ok. Sammy could have made it better tbh.

I'm USA people and I thought it was weird. I thought it did a poor job of selling the product. Instead of trying to knock Apple they should have focused on the next big thing and backed that up with the features. Either that or stick to knocking Apple. To many messages in too short a time presented with far too much ado.

I liked it. It wasn't the best but I guess that's the best it gets from Samsung?

I really think Bobby Farelly should have done the Me, Myself, and Irene approach. The galaxy note having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet. And a midget.

Thread Moved To Q&A​
This is a question, and as such belongs in the Q&A Section​

HDC Galaxy Note N7000/i9220 Android Dualsim Phone

After some messing about on-line I was intrigued to find this video review of something that "looked" similar to the Galaxy note.
Obviously its not the real thing as you and I are well aware but it prompted me to do some more researching.
After a few nights of checking out the different versions of the "clone" I decided to bite the bullet and buy one to play about with.
Now I don't know much about Android phones and was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to exactly what this phone is capable of in terms of using the android marketplace and installing generic android apps.
I am a little unsure of some of the screens. It shows that it has Android Version 4.0.3 - Does that mean it has ICS already installed?
The other thing I was wondering is whether or not there are any custom roms that will do away with some of the China/Far East apps/languages that this thing will be able to run?
I have attached some pics and also the pics that I was sent in .rar files from the supplier..
**I understand that this is not the real deal so anyone who feels like having a nice flaming session then rant away. My questions are genuine in the hope to learn something..
Cheers

It's probably the cheapest hardware around in that. Don't expect any smoothness and it's on the completely opposite end of the phone spectrum from the Note. Doubt there are any custom ROM for it as well, but it probably runs many apps from Play.
I don't know why you would waste money on it, unless you try to look cool by pretending you have a genuine Note. It's a bit like walking around with a fake Rolex.
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Yea for sure I know what you're saying. I know someone with a fake rolex. He has had it for many many years. It still even tells the right time
I in no way purchased it to "pretend" to have the real deal. I have an iphone already and this was more something to play around with.
I like the "open source" side to it and with my Linux background and Programming and coding firmware for Satellite TV Receivers It took my fancy as its not locked down as badly as an I-Phone.
I guess from reading a bit more I would have do dump the firmware that is already on the phone and decompile it and figure out how to edit it to my own needs and then re-flash.
Hell, for £130 if it keeps me amused and out of mischief for a few months then its money well spent.
I would rather learn on something that costs a LOAD less. Once I am familiar with the whole system structure, Tools, Terms, Apps, etc etc I will probably buy the real deal.
Take Care..

I was thinking of buying one. Are they good? Where did you buy yours? The white one looks nice.

hi mate, when it arrives I will let you know!

still beats the dell streak lol
not bad for a fake phone imo, anyone who wants a big screen on a budget could use it.

Hey I woudn't mind using this over my (screen-plagued issues) Gnote..
This phone easily beats the features of the real mccoy.
I wonder how would Sammy feel that a run of the mill cheapo phone like this has their branded logo emblazoned on it?
Watching the video mesmerized me on the myriad capabilities this knockoff can offer.
Also great music, it 'tranced' me while watching the phone's features...
Cheers!

Does it run real ICS ?
There are fake Chinese 'iFones' in the market which certainly don't have IOS.

He says in the video it runs Gingerbread which would also explain the GB in the build number.
For 130 pounds I guess it's a pretty decent phone. It has a pretty slow single core CPU and a relatively low resolution for such a big screen but in the end you get what you pay for. I'm sure it's a nice toy to play around with and for a first Android experience you could do a lot worse but since I first used my Note I'll never settle for anything less anymore
Because these types of phones are never meant for international sales I doubt there will be any viable custom roms anytime soon and I think you can forget about official updates but even stock Gingerbread is a very decent OS. You'll miss out on a big part of the 'openness' of Android though.
Once you decide to get the real deal you'll be amazed at what the real Note is actually capable of.

I guess it has 800x480 res which gives you pixels like golf balls with a 5.3" screen. That's so extremely far from the Note hi res experience...

In the movie the guy says "it's got a 5.3 inch 5-point multi-touch screen".
That's another difference from the real Note, only being able to detect a maximum of 5 touch points. The Note detects at least 10. Nothing to be concerned about I think, I've never used more than 3 fingers at the same time.

Ah okay cool cool. I think in the vid he says 5.3 but on his blog, he later corrects it.
Good that you mention about the 5 touch points. I wondered what he was doing when he touched the screen like that.
How and why would you use more then 5 fingers at one time anyway? Still pretty cool that the "real" note can do 10.

Ah okay. I am already mooching about for legit ones and there seems to be a good deal on the Real Note from amazon.de for about £350
I am actually quite looking forward for the fake one to arrive to see what its like. When I spoke to the seller, he said it came with some Legit Sammy software so who knows what that's for..
Looks like it Left Guangzhou on Friday so I expect it to be here sometime before the end of this week.

I think spythedude is aware of the fact this phone doesn't come anywhere near the specifications of the real Note. Everything about the phone screams FAKE!!! But still, for 130 pounds I think it's a pretty decent device given it's large capacitive screen. I can't think of any Android phone getting anywhere near such screen size for 130 pounds. It won't be the fastest phone around but there used to be Android phones with even worse hardware that still gave a good user experience.

Hi
I didn't mix up any pictures, I'm showing in my video exactly what I received when I ordered it. I have the FEELING (and I don't know this) that the box it came in might actually be an original box but of course it could be a fake as well. The phone definitely is NOT made by Samsung and whatever specs I mention in the video, I did so to the best of my knowledge.
I'm not trying too "fool" anyone, I'm just reporting about a phone, trying to show people how a device like this operates, that's it!

I'm not promoting or selling anything. I just make videos of the phones and tablets that I order from China, giving who ever might be interested in these devices "the heads up" what the devices are all about.
I couldn't care less if some likes a particular device or not and/or orders one of them from whatever online store
I've been reviewing phone and tables for years now, some are "fakes", some are not and so far my videos have been very much appreciated by the majority of my viewers
If you don't like my videos, don't watch them. If you don't like the device, don't buy it But please don't accuse me of mixing things up to fool anyone, I've never done that and I never will.

Galaxy Gear flops? (Update: Samsung says no... it's actually a success)

According to this article (and its source) it does:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13...tch-flops-with-just-50000-units-sold---report
Such a shame! For starters they could have reduced the high return rates by making the SDK public and adding some more apps to the store.
Is it really just a pilot? Personally I don't care now we have unleashed the potential powers of the Gear with fOmey's Null_ rom
As an app developer I do care however... I'm burning to create apps for this device. But all signs are in a complete other direction
Update1: Just in : according to Samsung it is a success!
http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/19/samsung-800000-galaxy-gear-sales/
Update 2: And look who is making the headlines over at Engadget!
http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/19/galaxy-gear-smartwatch-custom-rom/

i don't see how its a flop .... just because some wieners say it is a flop doesn't means its true. null_ roms from f0mey are making me fall in love with my gear, its an awesome device , just needs the potential unlocked by samsung providing SDK free for all and some good developers developing for this device. I am sure it would happen soon.
regards,
richie
p.s. : i got rid of iphone 5 just for this (GEAR), and i have an ipad lying around .... i have always been android lover but have a lumia 925 too .... and my preference is android, apple is dead meat. Windows mobile is ****....

I think that Apple refuses to appeal to early adopters. If a product doesn't sell a billion units and appeal to the simplistic users they feel its a failure. Personally I use a MBP and have for years and love it, however I wouldn't piss on an iOS device because outside its initial release when there wasn't other device like the iPad/iPhone out there. Now it hasn't advanced for ****. Being an early adopter I love the constant change and dev. of the devices. For me its not about what fancy accessories I can get but what the device itself can do and how it can be pushed. Oh well, they will forever sit and bash on Android devices now that Steve Jobs is gone. Their competitive edge and creativity is gone too.

Samsung just contradicted the 50k estimate, says it sold 800k units

Hahaha! Congratulations. You made the headlines !

800k it's not bad. If the system was not close ( just a few samsung phones) the sales were 5x at least. I own smart watch 2 and gear, note 3 and z1. The pluses for sm2 are the waterproof and a little bit the clasic design. Gear is better expecialy after the last update. I wear everyday the gear.

The Apple insider article was a mistake that has been corrected on other sites it was 50k in South Korea. Heading towards 1 million worldwide and the world's biggest selling smart watch, the latest watch firmware has transformed notifications.

Very clever Samsung, A light went on with me today

when you search the internet the Galaxy Gear gets bad press and its nuts, I was a little put off buying one at the start but decided yesterday to spend the cash as I am in Brisbane Australia for 3 weeks of training then back to NZ, I when I first brought my gear (yesterday) went to try some notifications and thought what the hell Samsung why would I want a notification that means I then had to open my phone.......... now think about this
Samsung is NOT some back yard designer/manufacture but a multi discipline very very big company, did you know they build heavy Industries?
So now we know Samsung is a very clever bunch of people... why would they sell a product with such a negative response from the public?
My answer to this came today when I upgraded my Gear to the latest firmware version and suddenly ALL the things we wanted were present, think about this.... how hard was it for Samsung to add this extra features? SIMPLE... so why release it without it?
NEGATIVE ADVERTISING IS THE CLUE
If you think about the amount of coverage this has given Samsung in a very short time well....... and they fix it with a simple update? perfect marketing!!
Oh and im very happy with my gear including the price, it will exponentially improve over the next few months

Also look at the thread count and posts in the smart watch section, another thing you see comments out there stating its useless without a phone.... well yes you need to do the initial setup, but its got a built in clock, when you turn off your phone, or flatten it...it still keeps time

samsung is great at making hardware, but i can't think of any part of the software that i really appreciate. i would love if they just stick to releasing new devices itself running pure android.

yes I can agree with that, its better to be an open market for this sort of thing

Samsung with the latest update is wayyyy ahead of sony smartwatch witch is on the 3th generation. They launched the gear without some of the improuvments because they WANTED baddly to be the first, before Apple. What i don't understand is why samsung is not sending again the gear to be reevaluate by tech media after the last update.

Also, the negative publicity because of the non-availability of key features on a device that's hardware specs should allow, makes developers naturally want to get their hands on it and fix these problems, then what does Samsung have, a bigger developer following to help enhance this newer device form factor so they can be the first on the front lines with the most development, so they can set themselves as the main smart watch manufacture, so they can control more of the market, in short, they peoples at the Samsung do da business sneaky and outs o dey own greed like a de apple butt-a-heads (but not nearly as selfish and unconcerned about the true advancement of technology as the advancement of their own wallet) Lolz on rants but it's true.
