[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Finally we have own section for Optimus 2X - I'm very happy, thanks xda!

So who is getting this cool device?

Where are you going to buy it/which shop do you choose?

Which shop will ship it first?
[LG Optimus 2x] wondercoolguy:
I'm currently hoping that this will land on TMO USA. I'm currently on N1 and this is a proper replacement for my N1. I can't wait for this phone
[LG Optimus 2x] gizz68erz:
i wanna get it too...made a pre order in german amazon für 499€, currently @htc desire....german lg blog wrote it is available in middle of march....we'll see
[LG Optimus 2x] xo4ox:
I will get it as soon as it's out. eXpansys UK will get it on the 18th of March. But I wonder if anyone can get it from Korea? It's suppose to be released tomorrow.

I currently own a Desire HD.
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
IMO the Korean version isn't as sexy as EU/worldwide edition - the three buttons remind me of GalaxyS...
[LG Optimus 2x] xo4ox:
I know, but to have it now.................. Haha
[LG Optimus 2x] silex:
N2 isn't doing it for you?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kailkti:
Hopefully a version with an 850MHZ HSDPA band comes out... That way I can use it to the fullest down here. >.>

If not, i'd have to go with A T&T's Moto Atrix or Samsung Infuse since it will support the 850MHZ band...
[LG Optimus 2x] dubyajaysmith:
cmon Tmo

Me, just waiting....

Radio Shack if available

Would like to know too, in the states specifically =D

thanks again xda!
[LG Optimus 2x] ryan562:
Im def. Gonna pick one up. Im certain it will reach us T-Mobile. Gonna keep my Nexus s for flashing roms and getting the latest updates and the 2x for my daily driver
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Haha, agree ;)

As far as I know the first shop to have it will be Ellos.dk:

http://www.ellos.dk/dv/40-Elektronik-Mobiltelefoni/LG/_/N-h48Z1z13yco?Nr=309677

They will start shipping since 25.02

Anyone knows, if they ship to other countries than Danemark?

Is there any other shop which will have 2X available until end of February?
[LG Optimus 2x] sebqbe:
We can't be certain that ellos won't change the shipping date. After all, if all the other stores are delaying the phone, ellos probably will too (ellos.dk is primarily a clothing store, which may explain both the low price and the shipping date).

They ship to european countries BUT at a minimum postage price of 60 euros :eek:

I have pre-ordered the 2X at ellos.dk, mainly because of the extremely low price (cheaper than the Desire HD, and way cheaper than the Nexus S). I'm currently sporting a Galaxy S but I can't decide if I should keep it and cancel my pre-order or try to sell it and get the 2X. The hardware in the Galaxy S is still more than decent and CM7 is *maybe* on the way. But i feel like i'm cheating myself by not buying the 2X when the price is as low as it is at ellos.dk.

Luxury problem :D
[LG Optimus 2x] t3alc:
I think that swe online shops will have it available at end of february as well, but i don't know if they ship to whole europe.
[LG Optimus 2x] Drdroidlove:
The 2x is currentley available for purchase, but i will wait for the white version. I have always been an android fanboy but secretly wished for a phone that looked pleasing to the eye, now thanks to LG my wish has come true, cant wait for february.
[LG Optimus 2x] FearKill:
Got it preorder from Ellos.se here in Sweden. Deliver in 25th Febuary.

Can't wait to get it.

So I can launch my X10 to the Moon :P
[LG Optimus 2x] wondercoolguy:
LOL The Nexus S isn't dual core nor does it have a mirco SD spot.....no it doesn't :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] gintas111:
i bought from ellos.no date i must get it is 25.02
[LG Optimus 2x] renatox:
in italy : middle february
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Source please?
[LG Optimus 2x] FearKill:
On a site here in Sweden. Elgiganten.se says they start deliver 19th Febuary.

"Dispatched provisionally:

2011-02-19"

http://translate.google.se/translat...run;pgid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[LG Optimus 2x] lyberikus:
LG Nordic posted on their facebook that the first shipment of the phone is now delivered to Sweden yesterday and more expected today and next week. For any Swedes in here that don't read the facebook page or Swedroid forums :)
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Thats greats news!

Thanks for info
[LG Optimus 2x] popshansen:
Good news for those who have ordered at ellos.dk, they started shipping o2x today :-)

I got a mail from them that the phone has been sent. Finally the waiting time is over.

Soon a happy owner ;-)

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] GeorgeTF:
hello im from greece and i want to ask if i can order the phone from ellos.dk with english language?

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] wahyanhk:
the Hong Kong official stock will arrive by the end of this week:D
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Am I the only one who is a bit disappointed with LG changing the release dates of O2X?

My thoughts:

http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-lg-disappointed-me-with-o2x-once.html

People from north Europe are very lucky, it looks like the rest of us will wait some time more...
[LG Optimus 2x] PatSend:
I'm very disappointed, too. In Germany we have to wait until April :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Naadi900:
Guess we're lucky in the Netherlands :) had the device since march 10! Love it so far! Do hope it gets shipped to moe countries soon cause that's good for development. US get their version soon aswell I believe.
[LG Optimus 2x] EvanPatrickSmith:
You kidding me? Nexus S is by no means a good phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Naadi900:
Where do you read nexus s?

btw I just read that the us version comes with stock android!
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
That is really awesome news!
[LG Optimus 2x] dubyajaysmith:
Yes! lost my nexus new years. Fell back on my magic, 32b at that (thank God for yoshi) and have been waiting just for this device. Now pyramid and I have to think about implications of att buying t-mo? That's like apple buying HTC I don't like it.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaaneryurek:
Where can i find 2x in Germany, Koln.

Stores ???
[LG Optimus 2x] goulloux:
Dammn the hard part start now! Have to wait for it to arrive!!

But well just couldn't resist the bate, I got the Optimus 2X for 200€

Minus 40€ bonus code

Minus 80€ of subvention from the carier

Minus 70€ of cash back from LG

Pretty god deal!!

Bouygue in france
[LG Optimus 2x] ermacwins:
Is that sim free? And was it from the shops or online?
[LG Optimus 2x] goulloux:
Yes the sim card is free (well it's almost always the case with french carier)

And it was online

But this is obviously the price with engagement.

Should have it by the end of the week ... normaly :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
It looks like the UK customers can recieve their O2X's in a few days

http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/lg-optimus-2x-release-dates-for-uk.html
[LG Optimus 2x] IppeZiepe:
Check my sig! Check it!

Wow, I got this thing today and I think I'm in love... It's bleeding fast. Can't imagine what happens when some new Android version will support 2 cores!
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Congratulations! :)

Mine is on it's way, hopefuly next Monday will be The Day for me :)
[LG Optimus 2x] silex:
Oh well I feels you then :(

Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.
[LG Optimus 2x] WaPeR32:
I'm waiting for it here in Spain.

I read that it maybe come with Vodafone
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
I want this phone also. But I've heard a lot reviews about bad software from LG, with for example many crashes.

Does anybody know how the earphones are? Will it work with Apples? With my previous phone, Samsung Galaxy S, they didn't work.

And second, what kind of sync-program does LG use? (HTC has HTC Sync og Samsung has Kies).
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
I was very enthusiastic about this device, but the result of LG's work isn't satisfying for me.

More explenation:

http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/02/why-i-will-skip-lgs-optimus-2x-and-wait.html

Surely it is good device, but not as good as it should be...
[LG Optimus 2x] drrogern:
My nexus got crushed two months ago so im totaly buying 2x!

Its not out until 28.2 - 03.3 in norway though :(
[LG Optimus 2x] BlueScreenJunky:
I'd be more interested in knowing what device you will get instead of the 2X and why. I think we all agree that the Optimus 2X could be better. Personally I'd go for 1Gb RAM, CyanogenMod7 preinstalled, a super amoled plus display, and a unibody aluminium shell... But I seriously doubt LG or any other brand will release that phone in the coming months, so all we can do is pick the best phone for our need.

So I think it would be more constructive for yourself and others to say what phone you think is best for you and because of what features or advantages over other phones.

Besides, I don't really agree with most of your points :

1. The software

Firstly as you said it's not a final version, so maybe they'll improve things a little. And sure it will take some time to get 2.3 or 2.4 but apart from the Nexus S (which also has buggy software by the way), how many phones have 2.3 right now ? None ! Not even the Nexus One, and Google is said to have asked phone makers not to release 2.3 at this point (either to keep the exclusivity for the Nexus, or simply because 2.3 is not that stable and 2.4 is on its way).

So really there's no need to panick, it's perfectly normal for a phone to be released with 2.2 today. Then only time will say if LG will update quickly or not, but I can't see how they could do worse than Samsung or Sony.

Besides, even on my Nexus One which was always updated by google, I almost always used CyanogenMod (I'm on CM7 Gingerbread right now ^^), so really as long as the 2X gets rooted/unlocked and cyanogenmod or some other good ROM is ported to it, I don't care about the software it comes with.

And I know a vast majority of users don't want to use an alternative ROM, but you sound like the kind of guy who knows enough about android to be able to do it without taking too much risks.

2. RAM

Granted, 512Mo is not amazing, and it's not an improvement over the previous generation of phones, especially since the GPU takes 128Mo of it, and I understand that you want to be future proof, so that's actually a valid point.

But honestly, untill you've tried the phone you can't tell if it's a problem or not : from the reviews we've seen so far it seems like the O2X performances are better than any other phone, so my guess is 512Mo is enough.

3. The company

You say yourself "LG was for me always connected with low-end segment". I can understand that, I know there are certain brands I don't buy because of that, but it's really a personal point of view. And I don't think LG has such a bad reputation compared to HTC (notorious for their crappy audio output on every device they made, and unusable multitouch screen on the Nexus One) or Samsung (their phones usually feel cheap, have poor battery life, and are rarely updated).

So I'm not saying that you should get a 2X, maybe it's not a good choice for you, but I'd recommend that you wait untill it's out for a while (see if it's locked, what ROMs become available) and what phones other makers release (are they really better ?) untill you decide.
[LG Optimus 2x] PatrickRiccardo:
To drrogern.

I'm in the same boat. Although my N1 is still working perfectly (with MIUIMOD) I'm very ready to get a new device. btw, where are you planning on buying it? ellos.no is the cheapest I found.
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Same here, and the result is... HTC Desire2 - we don't know if it will have 1GB of ram (I bet it will), SAMOLED is there, unibody design also, CM is there for most of high-end HTC's, so I bet it will be there too...

I'm keeping fingers crossed for Desire2 (said that on twitter ;) ) - MWC will tell us the truth about this device.

LG is working on stable build of Froyo for this device around 4 months (from first leaks). It is ridiculusly long, than they send review units (they should be perfect, to score good reviews), which are still not enough good. Many reviewers didn't see any bug, but Engadget and few others got lags in the UI (which should be butter smooth with Tegra2), some other got memory issues, etc.

More, I don't wanna finish like some GalaxyS owners in US, waiting for software updates for ages, until LG will finish perfecting Gingerbread.

The CM would be a good solution - but as you see not many non-HTC products get official CM support.

MWC will definetly show us, how the next-year smartphone market will look like, I feel that qHD displays and 1GB of RAM might start being standard among top-class devices, who knows?
[LG Optimus 2x] BlueScreenJunky:
OK, I can agree with that ^^

And I'm definitely keeping an eye on the Desire 2, but we don't know much about it so I think it's a little early to say if I'll prefer this one or the X2... I can't wait for MWC to start :D

By the way, where did you hear/read that the Desire 2 would have an SAMOLED display ? I was pretty sure Samsung were keeping them for themselves now :-/
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
About SAMOLED - (via Engadget)
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
What do you think about leaked specs of DHD2, Desire2 and SGS2?

IMO if they will be true (I don't think so), I'll go for O2X :D

http://pocketnow.com/android/galaxy-s-2-desire-hd2-desire-2-wildfire-2-full-specs-leaked
[LG Optimus 2x] PatrickRiccardo:
Yikes! I thought they be better than that! Weaker CPU/GPU and no HDMI mirroring?

Only tempting thing is the "SAMOLED plus" from Samsung (Their screen names are getting ridiculous!!)

So yeah, I'm with you Piter, if those rumors are true, I'll go for the O2X too. -ooooor Atrix if Moto opens their bootloader as they promised.
[LG Optimus 2x] svengalis:
Specs don't seem real.
[LG Optimus 2x] epdm2be:
A good idea should be a easy to find consumer list of all the faults and weaknesses with all the current android variants. I'm sure since XDA is populated with all this knowledges.

I've seen ppl mentioneing the notoriously bad audio output on HTC devices and typical lack of updates of Samsung devices. There must be other things as well.

Perhaps compiling a list of all known typical faults per manufacturer and device. This way we can make real buying decisions based on the experience of other users. Users helping users as it were.
[LG Optimus 2x] epdm2be:
In Belgium its easy. The cool-blue stores will probably have it first. And usually at the best price too. Which is still more expensive then everyone else (in e.g. The Netherlands) :(
[LG Optimus 2x] sirskull:
530euro for LG is still better than the 600 for the Samsung Galaxy SII
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
Webshops here in Holland are offering the Optimus 2X for around 460 EUR.
[LG Optimus 2x] Gnuig:
Ellos.dk

I also ordered on ellos.dk here in denmark for kr. 3.599,- (approx. €480) which seems reasonable.

Delivery date is set for 25. feb. but I have to see that to believe it, yet I'm hoping to replace my x10 mini pro... had hoped it would have been updated to 2.2, but it won't.

Now I have read mixed reports lately regarding rooting and bootladers being open on the O2x - and that the OTA update will cause problems (we'll have to stay away from that one ;-o )

Anyway, I'm sure that is just a matter of time for all you great hackers in here :-) so I'm not to worried about the O2x, just wish LG would follow suit to the optimus 1 being "open" bootloader... or should I have choosen the samsung galaxy s2 as my next device?!

As others have mentioned in here... I too am very pleased to see the LG Optimus 2x up on the boards so quickly here on xda-dev... I will follow closely... Nice!
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
I'm waiting Amazon.de, if nothing the 25/2 I'm going to ellos.dk
[LG Optimus 2x] Riemen:
I have read somewhere, the first shop selling it here in Germany would be Amazon.de.

The best price I have seen so far is 455€ at logitel.de.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
My Amazon Germany account:

Meaning the LG 2x will be shipped between 16.3 - 31.3.
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Here in Netherlands probably next week.
[LG Optimus 2x] mimstyle:
really? I'm from belgium
[LG Optimus 2x] Riemen:
Where do you have this information from? Do you know which shop will recieve it first in Netherlands?

I am in Germany but I would order it from Netherlands if you have it one month earlier.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
You can compare all the dutch retailers by price on this site:

Http://kieskeurig.nl
[LG Optimus 2x] mimstyle:
Thanks man, now i preorder mine ! :p
[LG Optimus 2x] popshansen:
I think that ellos.dk has stopped taking pre-order, as the phone is not to be found on the site today. I hope that the waiting time soon will be over, as I pre-ordred mine in january :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
I'm tempted to pre-order already as well, but I will wait a little longer to see how it's picked up by the dev community.
[LG Optimus 2x] shoemeistah:
I'll give LG a shot and add this phone to my collection.

I'm sure it's a great phone and once you've unlocked everything you'd be able to unleash the maximum power of this device as well. The Tegra 2 chip is a monster and I just want the phone to play with next to my Desire which works fine but not good for 3D kinda stuff.

Why will I not wait for the Samsung Galaxy S2, for a few reasons:

1. It will be like 100 euro more expensive.

2. I haven't had good experience with Samsung phones.

3. I can get this phone earlier.
[LG Optimus 2x] ericc191:
Right now I really want this phone, but the waiting is making the new Galaxy S 4G look even better. I tell myself to go with it instead and in a year I can get a quad care phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] IppeZiepe:
Preordered one @ www.gsmwijzer.nl. Due probably next week, maybe March 4th. 450 euros!

I didn't go for the other phones around because they're too expensive atm, most of them are around 700 euros. Atrix, fun, but expensive docks. SGS2, too expensive. HTC is way too late with their dual cores. Not the Optimus 3D because that's too much money for just a gimmick.

I'm so excited!
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
I think that too.

LG Optimus 2x is a good choice. Waitting for amazon.de (or any in France)
[LG Optimus 2x] ZajacPL:
Does this shop ship to Poland? International shipping?
[LG Optimus 2x] popshansen:
It looks like LG has blew their chance to get in to the market as the first dual core phone except for the Korean market. I got at mail says that ellos.dk can’t delivery the phone until 25. Marts, and when I look around at other places it is the same story “late marts or April”.

Does any one have received the P990 model yet?
[LG Optimus 2x] avikane:
I got the same mail from ellos.no (norwegian version) telling me to wait until 25th of march. They just postboned the date one month? What will happen the 24th of march? Delayed till 25th of april? I just cancelled my order.. Have to start over to decide on which phone I'm buying.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
A number of the Dutch e-tailers are still saying 1-2 weeks.

http://www.kieskeurig.nl/gsm/lg/p990_optimus_2x_speed/prijzen/bezorgen/953385/

I won't hold my breath, though, and certainly won't order until I know for certain that it's in stock.

Still, it sounds like there won't be any phones released over here that can compete with the 2x for several months. I can wait a little longer.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Amazon Germany and couple other german shops say it will be released on 14.3.
[LG Optimus 2x] Gnuig:
I got the same e-mail: Delivery date "around" 25. March :rolleyes:

I like the hdmi out of the box, so I think I am going to wait for it, even though the SGS2 does seem to have the killer screen...

Then again, I don't care for such a wide phone... I think 64+ cm in width is very uncomfortable especiall during calls. Although the O2X is heavier, I believe the weight to width ration is perfect! Anyone?

This all comming from an avid nokia communicator fan...

Maybe we'll start seeing 16:9 screens for mobiles, which seems to make sense to me... That will be the day...
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
When I got my HTC Desire (at launch) there were a few webshops who had stock 1-2 weeks before anyone else - I'm hoping the same will happen here.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
i think i will order one :D

redcoon.at sells for 490,99
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
IppeZiepe, have you bought from these guys before? the price seems too good to be true :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Dont know that shop. However that price isnt special. There are many other shops in germany offering it for about 450€.
[LG Optimus 2x] londahl:
A buddy of mine is a call centre agent at a danish carrier, and he showed me that they're getting 200 2x's in stock on tuesday, and another 500 at an undisclosed date.

Unfortunatly he couldn't preorder it for me, but i'll do whatever i can to get one of those, that's for sure. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
That's some good news. i 'm too anxious for the damned thing and i don't think i can wait 2-3 months...i'm starting to consider nexus s (with the future support of being a google phone and all).

Seems that most of the dutch retailers are expecting the phone in may :( [unless i'm misreading the google-translated page]
[LG Optimus 2x] gintas111:
i found one shop in norway they confirmed 04.03.11 booked from another few days before promissed start shipping 02.03.11 hope dying last...:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
link? do they ship to other states in the EU?
[LG Optimus 2x] gintas111:
sorry i cant send link i need to post few more
[LG Optimus 2x] ZajacPL:
So could you send me a PM with link?
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
Just to save gintas111 the hassle he pm me the store he bought from:

http://www.elkjop.no/product/telefoni-gps/mobil-uten-abonnement/LGP990BROWN/lg-optimus-2x-p990

The price is about 540 euros. not the best i've seen, but on the other hand seems to be one of the first stores to dispatch the phone
[LG Optimus 2x] IppeZiepe:
There are several Dutch shops preselling the O2X for little over 450 euros.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
LG just had a live conference from CeBit. They confirmed the 2x will be available next week. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Cool!

Any link to this event?
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
Woohoo! Now in stock @ 3 in Denmark! :D

http://www.3.dk/Privat/mobil/Mobiler/LG-Optimus-2X/?nm_extag=Link=,forsidepuff,lg_optimus_2x

I have it on pre-order, so maybe i will receive it tomorrow! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] IppeZiepe:
Lucky you! Mine's still in preorder here in the Netherlands. No clue when it'll come. The web site still reads 'end of February'. (That means they have 7 hours to deliver it to me! ;-) )
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Good to know, hope other retailers will follow...
[LG Optimus 2x] mrsn0w:
Many Swedish stores are saying march 2 now. Hopefully I'll have my O2X before the weekend :o
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Well you could watch it here.

http://www.lgblog.de/2011/02/28/livestream-lg-pressekonferenz-cebit/

However the event is already over.
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
Just a heads up, Vodafone in Greece just announced that the Optimus 2x will be available in March for 499€ :)
[LG Optimus 2x] LordGabriel:
It's official, you're now my hero :D

Thanks for putting that to my attention. (Went talking with some dudes at the 3 store in Ro's Torv, Roskilde. And the guy there promised me that the fee for creating the subscription would be removed from my bill. So i only have to pay 500 to get it :D Huzzah me.)

Guess i'll have to go talk to them again tomorrow! :D

I might even have the phone by tomorrow afternoon! *Dances*
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
sorry to say it but its not out jet and they dont know when its out:(
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
Damn! Well.. I have an insider who yesterday said that their main storage should get it on the 3rd.. So if we're lucky, it could still arrive before the weekend..

Another friend of mine was told in the store that they had received it and they just needed to distribute..

But lets see over the next couple of days..
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
i hope you have right:)
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
I am NOT right.. Just received an email saying LG postponed delivery to an unknown date at this time :(

I am not a happy person :(
[LG Optimus 2x] londahl:
My sources says delivery from LG to carriers is postponed untill week 13 in Denmark.

Very sad news indeed.

And a bad way for LG to make a comeback to the highend market. Postponing on launchdate. :mad:
