Sale: LG Optimus 2X at Php22,990

wow! i usually didnt leave a reply but now wow thats a dual core processor wew for 22,999… huwaw!

thanks for the tip, Abe. 2 minutes after reading this, I managed to snag one for the same price. Now, the waiting starts :-)

This is just soooo tempting!!! Even my followers are trying to convince me to get one!!! It’s not locked down like the Sensation and has quite nice reviews from the XDA community. Really split on this one! :)

I was able to get one… i asked God if i can get the buy button on my 1st attempt on the site i will buy it…will i think God allows me to get it. hehehehe

the dual core 5k less deal is great…hats off to LG for coming up with an improved and great sale

I was hesitant this morning due to the reviews i read about the freezes and reboots. still i got mine too LOL

Then just a while ago LG has announced in their facebook page that they will be releasing software updates to address the freezes and reboots etc.

Now i can breath a sigh of relief and likewise happy about the bargain price. worth it!

Wow 22k only for a dual core,1080p vid recorder,multimedia device. Best deal ever. That is almost the same price as a galaxy S and a desire that has
less specs.

they stated that participants can just create a paypal account if they don’t have any visa-mastercard. and frankly, it’s not hard to do that. either way, getting the dual core @ Php5k less is hella worth it!!

Before planning to buy this phone, you guys might want to know first the pros and cons about this unit.
You may like or hate to buy this unit but if you can wait for a couple of months you might as well check the upcoming LG models like the Optimus 3D or Thrill 4G that will be available this late July or early August 2011.

its available for @cmk, Php 25,900. you still save 2.9k coming from promo price, not bad:-)

between 2 and 6 months, smartphone prices depreciate typically around 10-15%

wonder what will happen if suddenly LG will say that they don’t have enough units to sell

it happened before

On one hand it’s good that they lowered the pre-selling price. It’s a dual core phone for a price near the high end single core flagships of most brands.

But on the other, I hope those who plan to buy this really like the features and performance based on the numerous reviews of the unit, and know the issues that you may need to deal with. It could have been better with gingerbread.

So it all boils down to whether one is willing to spend now or wait until the right phone appears on the market.

Strangest thing on the user manual it says that it only supports SD cards with fat 16 only… This seems rather stupid. Can any actual users confirm this? It does support up to 32GB SD card but at fat 16??

just a question dun sa mga nag avail nung promo. may option ba for deferred payment like 6-12months or straight sya sa discounted prize? maraming salamat.

Someone check out the SGSii vs O2x on gsmarena?

The browser test is so fake!! the LG loads a flash animation every time on the right-hand side while the SGSii does not… obviously it will load the webpage slower.
