HTC Desire S vs. LG Optimus 2X

---

Hi all, please help me decide if i should get the this or the lg 2x... Is this phone still good and powerful enough or should i be looking to the dual cores? This phone isnt a high end device anymore, so htc arent supporting it with updates (sense 3.0) that has really dissapoimted me as i was looking forward to the update and the hardware is capable of using it. Its just htcs scam to squeeze morr profits,,

Help please?

So is it worth it? Or should i get the lg2x... I heard it has some bugs though..

i doubt the hardware of the DS is enough for sense 3.0 because on one of the videos that i saw of sense 3.0 the dual core seemed to lagg a bit (or it could be sense is still under development & needs works)
i saw a few threads about random reboot on lg 2x
but if you want a dual core why not consider htc sensation or evo 3d?

Thanks for the speedy reply! There is some controversy over sense 3.0 requirements. Over at the dhd forums,they have a port of sense 3.0! It is apparently working smooth! So htc could have been lying! Of course i would want official updates rather than a custom ROM, therefore i hope htc will release sense 3.0.

I hope lg fix the random reboot problem. The lg has been known to have mAny bugs!

I cannot consider the evo, because 1) i live in uk
2) i dislike 3d screens!

The sensation looks good, but i cAnt afford it, therfore i wad looking for a cheap dual core altenative - lg 2x.
Ideally if i could have a dualcore, id like the sgs 2! Thanks for opinions, but would you recommend this phone?

i dont have the phone yet so i cant comment much about it...
but i think im still getting this phone because
1.i hate LG
2.i love htc sense (a custom rom is good enough actually its better for me)
3.LG service is VERY bad in my area (it gives me headaches)
4.i really dont need a dual core now as i am not going to play a lot of games & dont mind a little lag in videos

i am considering samsung galaxy s2 but wont be getting it if the price is a bit high...(cant push my budget beyond 550 USD)

i also found a post on lg otimus 2x forum saying that it gets stuck during playback (this probably will get fixed as it is a software issue)

Thanks! I have just been reading some threads here, and i may have changed my mind! The ds is quite good! There will be no real need of dual cores as many phones wont be supported yet with dual core. And the ds is cheap at o2 now (i suspect it will be even cheaper by summer!)
You say you like htc sense... But are you bothered about not getting the sense 3.0 update?

Cheers

yes i am bothered a bit
a custom sense 3.0 rom would be good
it is just that i dont consider the difference between sense 2.1 & sense 3.0 a dealbreaker (atleast for now from the engadget preview of sense 3.0)

Yeh hopefully! My dilema is to boast that i have a dual core high end phone, thats buggy, or i have a great phone, but is standard mid range....
Decisions!

i think you should also consider the forum community
lg optimus 2x has quite a large community unlike the DS community(hope it gets bigger )

Yeh, i guess i hav to consider that! I just saw some comparison vids with the 2x and dhd (same specs at ds) and the dual core isnt really that benificial. It beats the dhd by 1-2 secs in web pages, not much at all!! I exoected much more! If thats the case, i'll settle for the ds!

Actually realy considering thd phone now!! Watch all the phonearena vids, they are awesome and make you wamt the phone more!

Only concern is the small screen, coming from a 4.1 screen... And imo, the design isntas nice as the hd2 industrial square shape design!!

What do you guys think?
