I purchased a LG Optimus L5 from Bell.

But the model number is LG-E617G

Is this model incompatible with E610 guides?

I really want to get my phone rooted.

So if I was to use the 610 kernel... would NFC functionality go away?


Review:

Absolutely love this handset.

Everything runs smooth. Great at multi-tasking. This is my first android phone. I bought it because of the $150 price tag.

It has all the bells and whittles you would expect in a more expensive phone.

Amazing performance for what some dub as a lower end phone.

Whats left? A root is needed so I can clean out some apps which are locked down.

Cyanogenmod would be nice too.
