[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
This post is primarily for people who are considering whether to get the Optimus 2X or O2X from now on, and are sitting on the fence. I got my O2X at 1400 hrs on the 11th of May. It's 1845hrs now on the 12th of May.

Prior to getting the O2X, I became active in the O2X forums here on XDA. And I downloaded all the necessary software for it too such as new baseband, latest ROM (I use Fear's), OneClickRoot, LG drivers etc. First thing I did when I got the O2X was to plug it in to AC Power and charge it. Battery was at 44% out of the box.

Once it showed 100%, I plugged it in to my USB and checked the baseband. Was the old one. So I rooted it, updated the baseband and flashed Fear's ROM. Before that, I played with the stock LG Android for a little. When I first booted it up, for the first 30 secs, it was real laggy. But after that, it was real smooth. No noticeable lag at all.

So after I flashed Fear's ROM, which is rock stable for me, I began downloading apps I used on my previous Android phone, the Dell Streak. Downloaded Juice Defender. Phone began to reboot by itself. 3 times in an hour. Uninstalled it and back to its stable self. Been using it the whole of today, no lag, really fast. And the screen is really gorgeous too. Bright and vibrant. Installed LauncherPRO, GOSMS and GOContacts so I could completely stop using LG apps. Battery usage was on the high side though that was expected. Read somewhere battery wont be spectacular for the first couple of cycles so I will update on that later, after more usage. Gaming wise, tried 3 games. Asphalt 6 HD, Samurai 2 and Angry Birds. O2X handled them exceptionally well. No lags. Angry Birds seem to be build for Tegra. Butter smooth. You gotta see it to believe it. Havent tried playing it on my TV though although I suspect Ill do that soon enough. Web surfing was a pleasure too. Incredibly smooth.

On the hardware side, I wasnt impressed when I saw it on the photos online. But holding it in my hands, it's definitely a well made product. Really slim, and light too (At least for me, coming from a Dell Streak). I don't have any heat issues too other than during charging which is to be expected. The 4" screen is a real beauty, the curved glass in the edge is a nice touch. I even hear the screen is Gorilla glass although I can't confirm it. Call quality is excellent for me. The speakers are above average and are stereo.

Final words, the O2X is hands down the best Android device I've owned. Arguably the best phone I've owned even (And I've owned quite a few). CM7 is in the nightly build stage, moving forward in full force. Once CM7 gets stable, the O2X will fly. The only bottleneck now is software since we already know the O2X is a beast inside. Once that get's settled, you've got one heck of a mean device on your hands.

So to summarize,

+ Beautiful 4" screen

+ Monstrous Speed

+ Awesome web surfing abilities

+ Excellent construction

+ Able to play any game you throw at it, more Tegra optimized games will be out soon too

+ HDMI Mirroring, and it was nice having the HDMI cable included

+ Camera and video camera works well too

- Only average Battery life

- Have to wait a while before you can get your hands on CM7 :o

- LG Software sucks.

- No dedicated camera button

- From what I hear, LG Support is not that fantastic.

In all honesty, I feel the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I would recommend the O2X to anyone :) I will be updating this with any new thoughts or experiences in the future.
