The LG optimus g with android 4.2 and the Samsung galaxy note 2 will be coming to sprint and at&t. Now I'm confused as to what to upgrade to lol too much awesome phones to choose from.

I wouldn't let 4.2 sway you, it's expected to be a pretty minor release as I understand it.
Im liking the Galaxy Note 2,not much as far as development yet,but its a new phone,soo i'm almost possitive theres gonna be some great things to come for the Note 2.Aside from the great ammenities it already posseses.Plus i like the 5.3" screen and the stylus.
Yea Im thinking the same thing but at the LG optimus g is going to be a nexus phone and its going to have stock jelly bean right out of the box. And I think it a lil bit faster than the note 2 and It looks better.

Any idea when it will be released tho? Wanna get the optimus G myself.. looks so slick and sexy and the specs are just insane!
The Note 2 is also going to have JB out of the box, and all the cool things it does makes it a remarkable device. Enough to overcome the size of the phone, which to me, is a plus. I like a bigger screen

I'm leaning note2 myself. Not a huge lg fan at all. I've thought about sgs3 but why take a 4 month old phone over a newer faster handset.

The only thing making want to go to the SG3 is that I can afford it right now. That Wirefly deal is sweet. It'll be sometime next year before the note 2 is as affordable on wirefly and by then, I'll be able to just buy it and sell the SG3
Not completely shore but Google will be announcing it and some other devices I think the 25 of this month

I really like the note 2 more because it has way more software features than the LG, but I like the LG because it looks really nice and the screen.
Do you know if Samsung going to release the source code for note²?

The skin is ugly on the LG, the note screen is bigger and so is the battery... the note all day, but you welcome to go that lg post it..lol

I don't think the LG's UI is ugly, I think its ok but I'm leaning towards the note 2 though. It would be awesome to have both

Sprint already announced the note2 it will be released sometime this month or next. Its supposed to be available on all carriers by the end of Oct but it may be first of Nov for some carriers. You can check the specs for sprints variant on sprint.com

The Note 2, with JB out of the box, looks so good, other than rooting to drop some bloatware, I can't even see any reason to run custom ROMs on it...
The. Note is too big for me like i cant even imagine puting that thing in my pocket

So for a while now I've been waiting for a new nexus to come out because my contract is up in December. However its looking more and more that the rumors are true that it will be made by LG and be based off of their flagship optimus g. The specs for the optimus g are beasty but I'm not sure LG can make a high quality phone. How do you guys feel about an lg nexus and do you think you'll buy one?

I will definitely buy it if its an lg nexus! They always make great hardware but their software is atrocious, but being a nexus that point is moot

Allegedly, there's gonna be a whole line of 5 nexuses (nexii?), with one by samsung, a minor update to the gnex (1.5 ghz a9 dual core). Another would be the lg optimus g nexus (or nexus g) which as you mentioned would be quad core s4 768p, 2gb ram. Another would be the nexus 5 by htc with 1080p, quad core s4, 2gb ram. The new thing about these is that they will have a customization center where you will have the choice of different themes, some of them being manufacturer themes. So an HTC nexus could run sense.

Does anyone know if the actual optimus g came out yet? I would like to know if it lives up to its high specs or is just a bust like the g2x.

Also, does anyone think Sprint will have first crack at any of these Nexii if/when they come out? I want to get a new phone around november, not next year -__-

Not sure. It looks like sprint and google are getting closer. Although, it looks like tmo is definitely getting it soon since they cancelled the one x + which means there's something better coming (since its probably not bug related because its being released on other carriers worldwide). That doesn't mean sprint can't be soon though. It does surprise me that lg made their optimus g so close too the nexus release. Idk if the nexii would have a coordinated launch either where each are released together worldwide. They may be staggered over the next few months or so.

The 13mp camera didn't get good reviews.. Nokia Lumia 920, IPhone 5 take the crown

I saw a link to an article on Facebook and they compared the camera on the iPhone 5 to the one on the 4s and a high end camera. Apparently, the iPhone 5 camera doesn't play well with direct light sources

out in korea. but it's a mixed reception. a very good phone by lg's standard but the software's still a bit of a downside.
hardware benchmarking beats all the android competition out so far.
but must add, american models always have some kinda variance to the original so they might change a few things. seeing that an lg nexus is coming out at around the same time, seems quite likely too.

with the unlocked bootloader the att version is nicer in my opinion with lte and sd card slot
thanks in advance if anyone can help, also willing to donate
Sell it and buy an N4.
Since the OG is about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit, no real chance of AOSP/CM.
And, since LG haven't launched the thing globally, even less chance.

I don't know about that, RC gets LG devices shipped to him, and he's some sort of freaky genius!
Going to get my new phone in the AM, and I have a dilemma..
My wife is getting the SIII..that's a known factor.
I however am torn between SIII and NoteII...main problem being they aren't carrying any NoteII's at Radioshack right now, have to order them, and no telling how long it will be until it comes in (maybe by monday, maybe later).
Should I go ahead and get the SIII or wait for the NoteII? Anyone have any ideas on how the development community is going on these devices? From my eyes they look about the same...but honestly haven't had the time to do an in-depth research for it..
Your opinions would be appreciated.
I'm almost in tha same boat as you but mine is Note 2 now or wait for the S4. If I had to choose between those two i would go S3 from what I kno a lot of the devs from this went to that phone so it would be familiar names there and I'm sure the community is bigger but I haven't look to much into myself jus an opinion

I know xboxfanj went to the Optimus G. But most of the other devs went to the S3

Note 2! it will change your LIFE!
Well wouldn't you know it, I went to upgrade on the 23rd, and the Note II promotion had ended on the 22nd...jumped from $199 to $299...so had to opt for the SIII I wish I had been able to catch that promotion, but the SIII is pretty amazing, and my GOD the number of ROMs to try out are just mind-blowing, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th right now, and still have another 4 to test..development over there is crazy!

Probably wait. Then decide between the s4 and HTC one. They're so close now that it's dumb to buy something older.

Ahem (just bought the SIII)...
No seriously, I bought the Epic when it was old (actually paid more for it than I did the SIII), and had it until, well, last thrusday...I bought the Asus TF101 right after the Prime launched...I don't like buying 'new' hardware, you never know what kind of bugs are going to be discovered for it. And the SIII launched last May, still quite new, at least to me
In the case of the Prime, it was a disaster and was quickly reissued as the TF700T and phased out..and my TF101 is still kicking hard..
Also, I am not a dev, so I'd rather buy a device that has a dev community already well-established. Something to consider, how long do you want to wait until someone discovers a root exploit and gets a good ROM on your device, unlocks the hotspot, and OH CRAP here's an OTA that bricks your device at worst or at best breaks root and you have to wait again to get root established before development can resume..
On the other hand, all your friends will think you are cool for the first month when you have a brand new, just-launched device that no one else has...I don't have many friends, so I go for the tried-and-true. Not the shiny-and-new.
I bought the Note 2 and returned it after a week. Happily back on my Epic now. lol

Get the Optimus G, best phone I've owned to date and has better specs than both the SIII and the Note II. At a glance you may say I'm wrong but do some in depth research and watch reviews on each phone and you'll agree with me.

I have been thinking about getting the G2 for a little while. I'm with Tmobile and they have it for $500 but I'm wondering if there are any phones coming out in the next couple of months that would be worth waiting for. I have a Nexus 4 and it's been good but I like the G2 because of it's screen size and battery life. The updates on the Nexus are great to have but I think battery life might be more important to me.
Is there a phone coming out soon that you will be getting?
No. Not even s5, g3 or iPhone 6.this phone suits my needs and more

If you're going to upgrade, sign up for jump and you get a phone every 6 months. Always new better phones coming out.
If you want the latest and greatest then waiting for the s5 or the g3 will be better for you.

i am going to stick to g2 for a year maybe more.this phone is great.the minor thing that i hate is the phone speaker.(coming from xperia play great stereo sound that i miss).
but the headset is great.and battery life and speed is awesome.this phone flys,and no need for custom roms.
the s5 and g3 is going to be awesome but i dont want a bigger phone.its just a phone and g2 is big already.

That is True My Trusted Razr M Felt More Premium LOL
But the Gigantic Screen makes me look away on the Premium Back. The front is so more Premium than the Galaxy Fronts xD.
And the screen size just Blows the Nexus 5 Display out the water.
The only Device I was kind of wanting to get was the HTC One... It felt nice but LCD was smaller and them HUGE black Borders !!!
If I jump it will be Iphone 6 because this phone honestly feels very good already, its going to be tough to beat this phone. I want to give Apple the Benefit of a doubt that their **** doesnt suck and they actually done something useful.
