Guys, the official training video from LG sent out to sprint store employees spends a bit of time talking about it being triband. I really wouldn't worry.   Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4

Very limited time with it today. Obviously the device is not activated so I can't do to much as far as band selection and such. Also I don't have the MSL. Nothing in the quick start guide about

Anybody know what the slimmest G2 case is?

The Diztronic cases are Awesome.  They're the only case I've used for my last 4 phones and have had nothing but good luck.  Not to mention, They're a steal.  Even If you don't think the case is for you, I'd still say give it a shot, at nine bucks, you can't go wrong. You can get them cheaper on Amazon sometimes, too.

Below is good little video that lured me in and, I haven't looked back.

 

But we should pry find another thread for "Case Talk."

I just ordered a Poetic Palette. Looked to be the slimmest to me. I notice some cases specify between at&t and Sprint/tmo. This may have been covered already, but does it have to do with mic cut outs? I'm not even sure which case I ordered from Poetic other than it not being the Verizon case.

 

EDIT: Poetic just states their case is for all carriers except Verizon.

the ballistic case is awesome...and its easy to take off if needs be (but doesnt fall off)

 

the otter box looks like a huge PITA to remove the phone...

 

had a Ballistic case for my sg 3 and note 2....would buy 1 for the G2 in heartbeat......just wish they had the belt clip for the G2 or note 2... loved it for my sg3...

The Ballistic SG Maxx has a belt clip, that is the one I just ordered today for my G2.

This is the brand of case I will most likely get also. 

 

Just can't decide if I go for a black or white G2... I've got a white note 2 now...

I really had my heart set on the triband powerhouse LG, but I live in the IBEZ.  so 800 mhz LTE doesn't look to be in my future anytime soon.  :(  not to say I don't travel to places like Vegas and LA where it will work, but I don't travel for work anymore and vacations are rare these days.  looks like a great phone, so maybe I'll give it a chance anyways, it is a front runner with the HTC ONE.

I went with black. I am a firm believer in electronics must be in either your choice of black or black. Leave white for toilet scrubbers and tooth brushes.

White = no fingerprints black = smudge and print city. I got the white one so it won't look like every other phone and no prints. To each his own

You can have the Model G2 in any color -- so long as it is black.

Am i the "crazy" guy that will be satisfied with the Quick window case mine comes with?

 

LOL probably.  Although its nice to be able to view stuff and have some protection for the screen, I just wouldn't be able to stand the constant flipping of the case and having to hold the front face of the case constantly with my hand when I use my phone.

I am getting the white one not because it would hide fingerprints (not going to matter anyways since I will have a case) although it is a plus but because I have always had dark phones (blue or black).  I just wanted a change and I actually think the white LG G2 looks very nice.

I found a few websites talking about it coming soon. I saw an Otterbox Defender on eBay as well and was curious until I saw that it had been released and then pulled because they didn't account for the differing sizes between Verizon and the others and didn't have the mic cutout. I got an email with a tracking number yesterday. It should be here Thursday...

The LG G2 should have Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 correct?  Because of the Snapdragon 800 processor.  I wonder if it does help charge devices up to 75% faster.

According to AnandTech, yes, The phone can utilize 2A chargers.

Under the hood we have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It packs 2GB of RAM, and promises to offer the best performance, battery-sipping efficiency, and charging super quick. All three of those came true. This thing flies, it has the best battery life of any LG smartphone to date, and charging the 3,000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 technology is quite nice.

I just read this hinting at a Google Edition of the G2 coming at the end of November with a bump to 3 gigs of RAM.

 

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/10/11/lg-g2-google-edition-rumour-suggests-more-power/

The bump in RAM seems a little suspect. Why waste the money to add RAM to a phone that will be running a slimmed down more efficient OS?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
