o2 sell only branded devices or also nobrand?
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Well, i think even the phones that aren´t bundled with a contract (e.g. phones funded via O2 MyHandy) are branded. But it´s only a soft-branding, more precisely: Only a different splash screen and pre-setup connection settings.

Still annoying that it takes them 4 weeks.

But they also told me that i should call from time to time between 22nd an 26th calendar week and see how things are going. We´ll see.

Have been in my local o2 shop...again. :)

They told me that they have received the Optimus3D for preparation (soft-branding). No info when they will be ready for sale though.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
thanks for the info.

OK to post in the correct place just done a quick search and Amazon are now showing the phone with a release date of the 8th June and much more money.

[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
here is 6th june

http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/lg-optimus-3d-sim-free-mobile-phone.html
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Since this morning O2 Germany has the Optimus 3D listed on their homepage ("upcoming phones").

Estimated Release: July

I guess they´re just playing it safe and it will be available sooner.

Oh, and they say it has a "powerful dual-core processor from Nvidia". ;)

Here is the link for my german fellows.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
it's a mistake..it hasn't the tegra 2 by nvidia but the TI OMAP 4.
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Jeah i know that.

Interesting how they can mess up a fact sheet. One would think that they receive those information from LG?

Anyhow, i just let them know their mistake and put myself on the pre-pre-order List ^^

It´s a pity that they go with the black version though. I would have loved to get another white one after my TG01.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
Same mistake as i the LG italian site :D without words....!!!

Phones4u will have the white version,it's an exclusive!
[LG Optimus 3D] jaikben22:
come with a firm release date would be better then this, if this phone is not coming within one month I will cancel my order
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Here we go the latest news :(

Robert

Thanks for the email, yes this is frustrating for all of us, but in the launch of Smartphones, quite common.

The original date was given as the 6th, we are now told first stock will not arrive until the 20th

We will try and keep you informed of changes

Impressive eye-sight, appreciated!
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
today i got a phone call from t-mobile about my contract renewal offering to either give me a better contract if i keep my moto milestone (which i don't want to cuz it's old and out of its life, no more upgrades) or get a new phone for free.

i immediately asked him what phones were available to me and seemed to want to persuade me to get the atrix so i specifically asked him about the optimus 3d and he busied himself with his computer for a couple of minutes and told me that it's not available yet but will be within a week or so and i should call back about it.

looks good for 6th - 10th here in the uk.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
clove.uk and gummobile 20th of june.
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Clove told me LG advised slight delay for release but gave no reason..must be firmware release.:)
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
The UK LG Site says that Orange has the Optimus3D in stock. Someone able to confirm this?

http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-android-mobile-phone-P920.jsp
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Clove just advised me

https://twitter.com/#!/clovetechnology/status/78412454371135488
[LG Optimus 3D] projectsome:
can't access twitter in work, advised you what exactly?
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
@projectsome

I guess he was asking for the release date. ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
so we are looking at between monday and friday next week then. nice.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
can you ask to these german stores if the date 10-06 is confirmed?

http://www.preis.de/produkte/LG-Optimus-3D-P920-ohne-Vertrag/1477422.html
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
yes I was and I have the phone pre paid 27th May, so want it now:)
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
I just called Anobo.de (the only shop that had 10-06 as a release date as far as i can see) and they could not confirm the date. I should call back on friday to see if they really got them. She also couldn´t tell me from where they had that date. :rolleyes:

If i am correct Amazon shiftet the release date from 16.06 to the 14.06, but i wasn´t able to confirm this yet.
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
10-06

http://www4.anobo.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=46336&agid=1682&pvid=o4xcau8d5_goo2iafa&ref=68&lb

http://www4.av-electronix.de/articledetail.jsps?aid=46336

try with other one :D
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Hehe, all right, tried av-electronix as well. She also wasn´t able to finally confirm the date, but they indeed have 10.06 as an estimated shipping date. No shipping confirmation from their distributor though.

Done with work for today, leaving the office now. ^^

Maybe i can research some more when i'm back home.

Greetings,

Sin
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
thanks!maybe you can ask also to that shop with the 14-06 date :D
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Amazon uk 20th June release date.

Interestingly Amazon.de have the phone for release on the 14th June

What's the battery life like in 3d mode?
[LG Optimus 3D] largo79:
Battery life is not that great for me with very moderate use. Barely lasts me a 8.5hr day. I'm hoping its due to this not being final software, hopefully they improve it
[LG Optimus 3D] nahedd_h:
tell me please how do you find the screen after using it , does it have scratches . and is it true that it is a gorilla glass??
[LG Optimus 3D] shollywood:
NOT gorilla glass
[LG Optimus 3D] nahedd_h:
not even a kind of glass that would be a scratch resistant like my nokia N86 ??
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
LG italy told me it has Gorilla Glass
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
I´ve just found an Optimus 3D on Ebay.de! (maybe even more than one available, not quite sure)

Nothing so special considering the Google I/O event, but here comes the interesting part: Those are not the pre-sale dev units!

It´s the final retail unit available right now. :D

He also says that the regular street date for germany should be the 14.06. (like amazon.de says), and since he got several sealed devices from a friendly vendor i guess this information is legit.

You can check it out here.

If i'm very luck i could have my device by the end of the next week, but since i have a carrier sitting in between i still have my doubts. :rolleyes:

He also says that the gingerbread update should arrive in august.
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
august :mad: long
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
only LG can say when will be avaiable 2.3. for O3D :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
True but knowing LG it could come next year or never lol
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
I guess we can still count on the devs. ;) (well,hopefully)

launch day??? :eek:
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Yes would be great..but I live in Galicia,and have my own bussiness:mad: I want mine for the 16th as I am going back home to the UK for a week....
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Paul has just created the LG 3D section on his site just started it off:)
[LG Optimus 3D] shollywood:
I've had SEVERAL gorilla glass devices (4)..not one has scratched yet. This unit scratched EASILY! If it's gorilla glass, then I must have a defective gorilla glass unit!
[LG Optimus 3D] largo79:
There are rare occasions when gorilla glass does scratch. I've had my N1 since launch day and has zero scratches. My O3D so far scratch free and i just shove it in my pocket with my keys :)
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
These shops have a new release date...

"Delivery delayed. Awaiting new date." :rolleyes:

I think i should step back and relax, this is getting ridiculous.

On a side note:

I was in a service chat with LG Germany two days ago questioning why they still don´t have the Optimus 3D on their homepage.

The LG guy was the biggest douchebag in recent history and couldn´t answer any of my questions.

I left the chat and filled out the customer satisfaction survey. I just checked the LG Germany page, and what can i say, it´s finally there. I would like to pretend that this is my personal success if you don´t mind. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] marinos2000:
do you know if in all europe will have the some release date or not ? i live in greece ....
[LG Optimus 3D] george232:
Reminds me of the launch of the Speed...the LG service and the horrible horrible LGblog Germany didn't know JACK back then either. All they did with their (often false) "inside knowledge" was to confuse people even more.
[LG Optimus 3D] burro breath:
when

im in the USA when can I expect to get the optimus 3d...ive been watching expansysusa.com but they dont have a date posted. also is it going to be worth while buying it as soon as its released or should I wait till the bugs are out
[LG Optimus 3D] freez76:
There are ways to get it sooner rather than later..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170653134366#ht_1346wt_1120

[LG Optimus 3D] peacekeeper05:
Yes! Once you get used to 3D. You would never want to take 2D pics again. Lol. Haha. Never had so much fun using a phone. Lol. ;). I use an april software so i can only assume that things will only get better
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
There is a June the 5th software out there at the moment,:)
[LG Optimus 3D] peacekeeper05:
^yeah but whenever i try to update mine, it says my phone does not support software updates. Mine is only a prototye unit. So im a bit worried if my phone will ever be updated. Is there a way to update.my O3D to latest sw?
[LG Optimus 3D] peacekeeper05:
okay... i tried updating again but it always says my phone already has the latest sw version... im on 2.2.2 apr software, probably the only chance i have to flash the final froyo software is via a 3rd party flasher... :(
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Just got a tweet of Clove.. no further update since we spoke last week :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
*************** O.M.G :mad::eek::mad:**************************

This has just hit my inbox

Thank you for your order for the LG Optimus 3D.

Unfortunately we have heard this afternoon that we will not receive SIM-free stock from LG until 11th July. We share your frustration in this delay, we were originally expecting the first stock to be here at the start of this month.

Should the situation change further, we will be in touch again. Otherwise we will do our best to ship your order at the earliest opportunity.
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
yep, Clove just tweeted me: http://twitter.com/#!/clovetechnology/status/80303275919941632
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
LG take the pi** :mad: :(

is the htc 3D coming to the uk?
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
yes, it is, I thought the same, I just wanted a 3D phone, wasn't bothered which was first but now the release dates will be so close I hope everyone abandons LG and goes for the HTC for messing us around

I bet a network has got the exclusive and they aren't allowing SIM free, which would also be stupid
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
Also annoying when stories like this come out today: http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-op...droid+Central)&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
GumMobile said it's still expected on the 20th maybe clove getting it late?
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
maybe gum not updated their site in past hour or so?

I bet it will be delayed everywhere now, T-Mobile selling it this month so I bet it's an exclusive to them infuriating us SIM free users
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
They just emailed me still expecting it on the 20th maybe some getting it before others?

HTC Vodafone only?
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
my info from Gum a few seconds ago:

There is a rumour of delay, LG have not confirmed. Most companies just expecting the worst. We should have official news 2moro

http://twitter.com/#!/GumMobile/status/80325596151951361

We will put an update out tomorrow as soon as we hear from LG, hopefully its all good

http://twitter.com/#!/GumMobile/status/80325750372302848
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
Bloody hope so
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
t-mobile haven't confirmed a date at all yet. i've spoken to two different retail assistants, someone from their website team and the customer service team and none of them could give me any information on a release date yet so there is no indication that they are getting it as an exclusive initially.
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
Firstly, the expected date was about late April, then, Mid May/late May, then, Early June, then Mid June/Late June, and now Early/Mid June !

Who know, may be they will delay it more! We were patient for 5 months!

I feel bad for this news!
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
Worst launch ever lol
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
From LG UK:

@LGBlogUK @maffmace Hi, we at LG apologise for the delay of the optimus 3D but we are hopefully due to recieve stock at the end of June.
[LG Optimus 3D] jaikben22:
@LG postponing like is is lose in sales, I will now wait for the real first 3d phone ego 3d
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
guys, the coming soon page on the tmobile uk website that i had bookmarked has just changed to this:

"Please come back later...

Sorry, you've caught us secretly working on the site...

Our techies are doing clever stuff behind the scenes to make T-Mobile even better, and they work their magic best when no-one's looking."

this could be good.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
Searching on Google I did find this link:

http://thefonecast.com/Mobile/ViewBlogEntry.aspx?id=3958

Maybe this is the reason the sim free Optimus 3D has been delayed as Carphone Warehouse have the exclusive launch of it.
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
this is one thing i bloody hate about the mobile phone market in the uk; people buying exclusivity rights and ruining everything for the consumers. just release the phone and bloody sell it to people!
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
8th of July the new date now :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
The few retailers in germany that still had a june release date have updated their shops with unknown/1-3 weeks/july release timeframes.

I would really like to know what is causing the delays, i hope they're still improving in certain areas...
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
Maybe the ram 512MB seems low for a 3D phone hence why it keeps freezing

[LG Optimus 3D] cheltenham2004:
Just got off the phone the Clove, really helpful guys said no hw changes just release delays, inc first shop to sell the phone hence we have a 4 day hold back.

The bad is delerery UK looks like anytime in the first two weeks of July no firm dates at the present.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
So you are saying Clove is the one with the 4 day hold back so it will be coming out earlier at some other shop.
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
buymobilephones.net says first stock will be 11th july.

uk is between the 4th and the 13th july
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
The UK is in Europe.
[LG Optimus 3D] projectsome:
In terms of release, a lot of companies class UK and the rest of Europe seperately. It could still come out in June in UK then the rest of EU in July or vice versa
[LG Optimus 3D] peacekeeper05:
I think LG learned their lesson with optimus 2x. Optimus 2x is a great device but has some noticeable bugs on the software because obviously they want to make the O2x the first dual core phone and release it immediately without polishing the software.

So with all the bad reviews going around the evo 3D, i just hope LG will not commit the same mistake they did with the O2X. Wish LG luck cause i love their phones. They just need to hire better people who can develop softwares for them.
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
Gum Mobile (UK) saying July 8th (£450, cheapest around)

http://www.gummobile.com/phones/LG_Optimus_3D_P920_Sim_Free.aspx

I'm pre-ordering next week
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
I find it funny that sites and manufacturers still list "- Full Flash 10.1 support" as a specification when flash 10.1 no longer exists.
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
of course it exists, it's like saying Android 2.2 doesn't exist. If LG got hold of 10.1 when it was out and put it on the phone so it ships with it (highly possible) then it's correct
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
I've been trying to contact gummobile through the phone they never pick up there phone :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Embarrassing paper launch. :mad:

"Smart" move to get some attention back from the Evo3D...

Phone still not expected before 27/28 calendar week here in Germany. Thats another delay, not a launch!

Just out of interest, you guys know any european country where the phone is available for real?

They take the piss tbf delay it seven times then boom CFW exclusive plus sim free is delayed can't get worse lol
[LG Optimus 3D] mmace:
now saying "the length of the exclusivity deal has not been officially announced yet".

anyone know how long an exclusivity deal like this usually lasts?

It's not worth spending an extra 100 on when I have 2 kids I'd rather that money be spent on (400 pre order at ebuyer vs 500 at CPW)
[LG Optimus 3D] Beaker491:
I think july is when it becomes available thru Orange, T-Mobile and Three retailers, so it'll probably be available sim free then too.... I can't see O3D listed on vodafone's website as coming soon tho.
