T-mobile on their web site here in the US has the LG Optimus L9 for $249.99 without a contract and free shipping. Just go to their No Annual Contracts section and you can get it there. Here's the link below directly to their web site. They are also throwing in a free $60 stereo Bluetooth headset.

Bought it for $199 with free $50 prepaid refill card

This Optimus L9 was on sale yesterday on T-Mobile website for $199.99 plus tax with FREE $50 PREPAID REFILL CARD and FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. I ordered one and it should be at my house now. I was going to order Nexus 4 8GB but did not want to wait too long and 8GB size seems very limited.

At this price of around $170 net after selling $50 prepaid card is a great deal! I already have an iPhone 5 on Net10 (AT&T MVNO) but I'm bored so wanted to try something else to play with. Optimus G is still too expensive and Nexus 4 is not available at this point (Optimus L9 is just half the cost of Nexus 4 with the deal I got!).

I'm kinda new to Android world and hope I'll get used to it soon.

i am planning to buy this phone and use it in india

will this phone work there

can this phone be permanently unlocked
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
super-slim, super light weight.

In India they sell L9 with P765 variant, which I bought last week, they come unlocked (means you can use SIM from any provider)

If you mean unlocked bootloader, then answer is No! They come with Locked Bootloader but does not matter, as it is easily flashable and rootable.

Some experts call it UnBrickable too at the moment, means in any worst case scenario it can be recovered back with downloadable stock roms.

Its strong, BIG Screen, Longer Battery (2150mah) and Value for Money phone at mid-range of cost. I wanted Google Nexus 4 at this cost but it is still officially not available in India. :(

Yes, one more thing, L9 P765 is amazingly slim and surprisingly light-weight. Try demo at some shop and see.:good:

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cognus:
aarrrghhhh... finally decided to pull trigger yesterday on the usa t-mo version....sold Out.

very oddly - T-mobile website had, a week or more ago, been showing this in the list of phones as one of the free ones for 2-year contract. then it disappeared from that section of the website altogether. you have to KNOW where to look to find it at all. google cache has copies of the older pages but no more on the website, and that was well before they sold out [wonder if they only bought limited stock?]

for the usa market it is in an unfortunate niche - the vast majority of the users are "subsidy" users - renting their phones at very high price [anyone can calculate the breakeven, and its highly unfavorable to the buyer/renter].

It is not a high definition phone, and the market here is brutal in that regard: a phone/handset that does not do 720P is considered a bottom-feeder no matter how elegant everything else is. LG saved money on the display panel and the camera - everything else looks first class, and I haven't heard anyone complaining of suddenly-shattered glass as is the case with the uber-phablet Note 2 !

if anyone knows another source on the cheap let me know.

apparently theirs are linked to a provider that does not operate anywhere near here, so the locals don't keep any.

any idea what the price is ... it does not show online.

sure are a lot of strange things surrounding this device!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AwesomeTurtle:
I came across a physical T-Mobile L9 at a Target store last night (albeit one of those dummy devices). Fits like a dream in my hand but, wouldn't you know it, it was probably the only device with no price tag on it (could've asked a rep, but herpderp).

This link has been there for as long as I can remember. Also it's in stock as of this morning. Go go go!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mitraark:
Yes and the phone is quite fast as well , browsing is very snappy, 1080p videos play smoothly, games also run at good frame rate. Very much value for money.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cognus:
Lets be clear: its not playing anything 1080p. its scaling to 480p at best.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] zanakorus33:
well ur wrong it is playing 720p and 1080p, u can play 1080p movie ona a pc without full hd resolution, that does not means u dont decode 1080p.

u just downscale 1080p to your resolution but still u have to decode 1080p. Same with this phone if u play 480p and 720p in a flash player for an example and put it on full screen of the phone the picture of 720p would be much crispier than 480p, even if it is downscaled to 560p (native resolution of qHD).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mitraark:
Thanks for that info cognus i was also wondering how this phone is able to play a 350 MB 4 minute 1080p video without any lag whatsoever.

But as zanakorus said it still needs to decode the video so as long as it looks good ( excellent rather ) on my screen, without any lag, i'm happy :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cognus:
yes, the dual core processor in that one is widely used so lots of support from devs. its used in the Lenovo 2107 tablet, for instance.

I'm not sure what the OUTput video is capable of; the display is the limiter onboard.

I should have looked at Best Buy first... duh. they have them for 199. they're on the display rack for non-contract things in a retail t-mo package.

its a shockingly light, thin handset .. a true "conceal/carry" piece
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
On my P765, the 1080p movie (700mb to 1.2GB) runs lagfree without any issue. A tip: LG/GOOGLE VIDEO PLAYER is nothing but a CRAP. I uninstall them on first day and use, MX Player which is free and installs all codecs and your L9 will never stuck or lag. MX Player also have great features like on video brightness and volume and stretch control and sound quality is brilliant and images are vibrant without Bravia Engine (pimp my rom).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cognus:
good! we're all in "violent agreement". the handset is incapable of displaying 1080p and/or 720p. it can do a fine job @480p.

Credit TI with garnering a lot of support for that OMAP SoC and its been around long enough to have well-ironed code.

MX is the go-to. its not easy, codewise, to pull off such a feat without noticable lag and other issues.

if you want to see a sad example of the other end of the stick, read the woes that owners of Nexus 10 have been enduring [and the rough cousin the latest/greatest Chromebook]. There the SoC with weak/poor support was released in products before the necessary firmware was baked... even though it has great power to tap for decoding, its real implementation has been poor. so, that gorgeous display stutters and breaks up on a lot of different file envelopes that SHOULD be playing just dandy at full 1080p resolution.

Odp: LG Optimus L9?

Didn't understand u well but the point is to se the difference between 1.'is screen capable to display hd' and 2.'is the hardware capable to decode hd, full hd'

For the point 1 the answer is NO IT IS NOT DISPLAYING HD

for the point 2 the answer is YES IT IS STILL CAPABLE TO DECODE 1080 & 720

I'm pretty sure we're not all chimps, and we know the phone's screen resolution won't magically become 1920x1080. The question is whether or not the phone has enough horsepower to play, say, a 1080p h.264 video contained in an mkv file without any stuttering. In its stock state, probably not (720p will probably give no trouble). With optimizations... heck, it'll still give this phone a lesson in extreme cardio.

I was/am thinking of upgrade for my wife's phone. she uses a Sammy SGS4G. nice looking but memory-deficient and has some odd issues probably due to running too much crapware all at once [her issues... more than the handset]. anyway I was looking at ebay and triangulating prices/values. this handset vs a "gently used" Galaxy Blaze. basically the Blaze as I can tell was the "fix" to the shortcomings of the S4G. way more power under the hood, and doubled the internal mem. they don't come out to exactly the same price as the Samsung label is good for a few bucks. but I like the idea of the IPS display on the L9, though I haven't seen one turned on and working yet...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] RicAndroid:
I came to the final decision of getting this phone. My sights were set on the Nexus 4, but because of my partial discount it is just too expensive for me. I am the current unlucky owner of a Sidekick 4G so this will be a vast improvement.

I have yet to taste Gingerbread much less ICS on my phone...although Team Acid's bhundven is working on a ICS/CM 9 port. The drivers are making it difficult for him so it may take some time.

I know I'll be sacrificing the 5 row qwerty keyboard, but at least I'll have a decent phone.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] psychoace:
You are playing back a 1080p file but since your screen is only 540p the image won't fit on your screen. In order for it to fit the image needs to be down scaled. If you were streaming the video to a 1080p tv then yes no scaling needs to be done. It's impossible to see a 1080p image on a 540p screen without scaling

Xperia S has been selected by XDA in the competition for the most hackable phone of the year. Its now on the second position after Galaxy Nexus. If you want to vote , you can click on the top of your screen tagged "XDA 2012 Holiday guide : Hackable phone.":D

DISCLAIMER:- People who are not interested in voting for xperia S should not post HERE, go to some other forum like galaxy nexus and tell their why you like that phone or better idea post a new thread for it NOT HERE but in that mobile's forum. I have not compelled any one to vote for xperia s or post here. I am just asking people who like xperia S very much can vote and people who are not voting for xperia S should NOT post a reason for it and all their bla blahs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CrazyPeter:
The Nexus range is the most hackable.

Not only are they always upto date, and the source lives in the standard ASOP tree, you just have a type

to unlock the bootloader on them. You can also relock them too and you get your DRM keys back and retain warranty.

So no, I won't be voting for the Xperia S..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
I agree Nexus is very much hackable as it is made by google and all the sources , drivers are available for the device and the device gets updated frequently. I personally hate AOSP look because all the phone have same look (Micromax fun tab($120) and Galaxy Nexus($400)) and i agree that all the iphones also have the same look but their look is ultimate(My point of view) .

But i want xperia s to win because it has its own identity(Sony bravia engine , xloud ,walkman), without most of the JB drivers , the great developers like FXP team have made the JB to work on Xperia S , Dual boot possible , unlocking is now officially supported and relocking is also possible and many more things.

I have the XS and won't vote for it.

Modding... Unlock BL and you voided warranty, lose DRM keys, lose Bravia Engine(didn't even noticed that but still). Mods to flash... Some stock FW bloatware deleted and weird KA ROM. And ofc all Free Xperia team what brings CM9 and CM10 which is cool but look at other phones for example SGS2 which have much much more mods to install and official Jelly Bean leak there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Samsung and HTC seem to have the lock on this. The XS has allot of stuff but it's not even close to what some of the other devices have. The HTC HD2 has had just about every OS run on it sense it came out. I like my Sony stuff but there are way to many other very hack-able devices to consider this one of them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
Off course I can't vote on Xperia S.

Most hackable? I can't even unlock my bootloader... not allowed ?!

Sim lock its not Rom locked, simple as that.

Don't even care about warranty, if I'm hacking I cannot honestly be thinking on that.

Sony is one of the worst hackable phones, great hardware no doubt... great custom development? No way, AND NOT BECAUSE OF BAD DEV, SIMPLY BECAUSE NO COMMUNITY CAN BE BUILT.

This is a forum... not your playground:

If you don't want to read other people opinions... create a blog and block comments.

You can defend your opinions discussing with others, but you don't have more reason because you write in bold or write that people that don't agree you should not write.

And I stick with my opinion, all other brands have the same questions with networks and I don't see questions on Samsung, Huawei or Lg about not being able to flash kernels into their phones... locked and unlocked phones!

My contract is for Sim lock, anything else any other question is Sony hardware and software, if they setup allowance the unlocking of bl... then it's their creation, networks just block whatever they can.

So... sorry but Sony is not, by far, the most hackable phones, just check the development sections of some other phones... if you can't figure that out, we can show you some examples.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
I simply rest my case with this: http://[B]forum[/B].xda-developers.com

And NO YOU CANNOT TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO WRITE JUST BECAUSE YOU CREATE THE THREAD, has this should be obvious for any normal and adult person.

I never said Sony was not a good phone, Xda can vote it anywhere, but I now ask you... if it is the most hackable phone:

- Where are the Devs ? They are decreasing from day to day, not increasing as we should expect

- Where are the Custom Rom Develepoment?! Most of the roms are cleaning and light modding of the orginal ones

- Where is the Comunitty ? That I can answer you... you can get one, has only the unlocked phones (majority at least) can flash new kernels.

So I tell you: Great Phone, Most Hackable -» No Devs, No Roms Development, No Community -» Phone not interesting

If I want a very good but completely blocked phone, I buy an iPhone. Than you got something that works but you only can custom what apple says you can do it.. or they want to sell.

PS: Just to make clear, I have the most respect for Devs that are still working on Xperia S (and also all other brands and models), they can be few, but they spend their time and their expertize to create better ROMS and share it with the rest! They are the responsibile for "creating" great phones, Brands only create good material
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chitose_ndy:
i think hackable or not, its matter of time.

like xperia arc, months after arc was released, there were only 2 - 3 kernels and ROMs.

but now u can see at arc's development. There are now already many cool ROMs and MODs.

so, i think its matter of time, before the devs could find their way deeper to hack xperia S.
