Its definitely worth your buy!!! My friend had the same phone OMG it was wow big. Hmmm well atleast better than L7 , but compared to samsumgs, lg still lacks the capability. Oh, the phone gets HOT after awhile idk why!! And lg just wouldn't release the unlocked bootloader so yea rooting is inposible for now!

Rooting IS possible.

i just compared mine to HTC OneX 2 days ago, since a family member got that. and really, it is pretty much the same just with the sense4 menu's and different camera features (speed of rolling snapshot) but quality and design, o4x feels better to hold in your hand.

my only dislike
screen activation when power button is pressed (see other threads if you want to know how widespread issue is or is not)

i'm quite happy with it. and its still affordable compared to htc's product in the same cpu range.


we had root'ing some weeks ago, and i personally contributed with a bootstrap ClockWorkMod edition, so we can utilize backups for now. custom roms with custom kernels seems a little far away. only custom roms using existing kernel is possible.

I have no screen activation problem and I don't think it's a widespread issue.

xactly by point, but it exists even after many,many reinstalls. but i survive, its quick enough as long as its within a few mins.

Well you got me convinced, I dont see why I should throw another 100euro after the one x, when their nearly identical in their specs.
I was kinda disappointed in htc support and updates, so I guess I dont expect much of LG either, but it seems ot me they released at least 3 smaller updates since release and hopefully jelly bean will come soon enough

the HOX has had a lot of updates since launch. The latest update with sense 4.1 fixes the lagging issue and improves the battery life too. And HTC has updated all their 2011 phones to ICS.
