Guest boristhespie Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Lack of any posts in this forum suggests the osd has failed with enthusiasts? What phone on the horizin could replace it for your affections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not sure on anything even close to this price range... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt4321 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 It's due to that locked bootloader. And they don't plan on unlocking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unrealdtc Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 It's due to that locked bootloader. And they don't plan on unlocking it Obviously... And also the rule is that you buy a phone for what it does today, not for what it may do down the road (ICS...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 And what it does today is worth every penny in my book, it is fast, has good gaming performance, camera is good, full hd video, not the best, but in good lighting using lg camera app, it performs well, the screen is also good, by far the clearest and best viewing angles of all the devices I have had so far. Yes it is gingerbread, but it is clean and not so much bloat, no root and locked bootloader may be hacked in future but not a deal breaker, with ics coming later in the year this device is undoubtedly a good device that one could use as a daily driver, as I do myself( I have a g300 for root, flashing, and, general messing about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richardw1992 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I reckon this is a close competitor, HTC Sensation XE with beats audio, sim free only £247 from Asda right now! http://direct.asda.com/HTC-Sensation-XE-Mobile-Phone-with-Beats-Audio/008721455,default,pd.html?utm_source=awin&utm_medium=aff&utm_term=76941&utm_content=Step-by-step+guides%2C+tips+%26+tricks+for+students&utm_campaign=ad&cm_mmc=ad-aff-_-awin-_-Step-by-step+guides%2C+tips+%26+tricks+for+students-_-76941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rem1x Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I went and traded mine for a like new HTC One X for about £100 more. I do not regret this choice one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vermat17 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 For anyone still reading this topic, you may want to have a look at the root progress thread :P They're making some real progress from what I've read. And once this phone is rooted and has custom roms etc., I dont think there's any competition for the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vermat17 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 You have got a point glossywhite... Though I still live in hope :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Not really, there has been plenty progress so that is an unfair comment glossywhite. No progress with regard to the intended progress but, the device is now recoverable and we have a flashing tool that although not working now, it is likely someone will work it out. I would call that progress compared to before rickywyatt got to work on this device. Edited July 31, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
