Well...why won't prices drop? :(. That's really sad man, I've been cell-less for like 2 months now and was just waiting for christmas to come, expecting huge price drops. (Didn't buy in diwali coz waited for huawei ideos like a n00b, my bad xD)

Btw you are from Nashik?

Dude, if there is so much demand, they'll order more to stay stocked right? I guess? and I guess availability would be higher in Mumbai....still I'm thinking about buying it this friday idk srsly I'll feel effed up if in christmas they drop price by some 1k more and start offering other cool freebies along with it :/. i'm a big kanjoos as it is evident to all xD

Kanjooos :-D ;-).....Hey btw you know I had been to Reliance Digital during Diwali and I could see a drop in G3 upto 1500 as a Diwali offer + they were giving some Rs500 coupon on purchase of anything above 5K...So I guess you can visit such places at your end and make use of such offers...Happy Hunting to you Bro :)

@Sam.Shab: Well dude prices are already 11.5k-11.75k in Mumbai....

@jetboy: Thanks for that jetboy, you further confused me even more lol .Erodov guys told me I should buy as soon as possible coz this phone is selling real fast and stores are having stock issues so price might actually increase.
One guy said he had been there yesterday to buy it, and it was selling for 11.75k, the shopkeeper told him this is the new stock and the remaining pieces of the older stock got sold at 11.5k on the same day :((

^^ maybe here its down to 12k but no time to inquire for few days. so even if prices arn't down, should reflect soon. 11.5k will be really killer price (cheaper than G3 while beating it in most of the tests).

Believe Me or Not!!!
Do you really think LG gonna lower its price to 11k? If they do, then who's gonna buy their Optimus GT 540, people wud just increase their budget and go for Optimus One. Think about it!!! Its a killer deal, already in 11.5k :)

yes, 11k is a bit less but as mentioned earlier its selling for 11.5k, so a further discount of 500 bucks won't turn LG's world upside down but will steal G3's life support. also i feel the former FLOP Optimus is no more in production (Optimus duo of one & chic has beaten it to death). and for 11k or so, it goes head on with G3, where it won't win. neither by look, nor by features.

so during Christmas, a price of 11.5k (retail price all over India, even in mobile store) for O1 & a retail price of 10.5k for G3 looks good. and actually makes sense as Huawei IDEOS coming with a cute look & Froyo at 8k (speculated price, expect to pay around 7.5k).

Well got my phone finally ... yay!!!!

Many users said that box said that Flash was supported and the phone doesnt support it. Well the box in my area had a black sticker on "Adobe Flash 10.1" hiding it and even the dealer said that it is not supported in the phones which are being shipped to India so it was hidden.[Transperency of the deal]

First Impression:
1] Phone feels sturdy, doesnt looks cheap.
2] Speaker sound is louder than G3 not louder than G5.
3] LG on-screen keyboard is not good.
4] Screen resolution is impressive.
5] Bundled ear plugs are upto the mark.
6] Matt finish helps in a big way if you are a G3/G5 user you will get the importance.
7] Screen display in sunlight is poor, you need to increase the the brigthness. [G5 didnt required it even in zero brightness]
8] Lots of media playback supported.
9] Unwanted bundeled apps.
10] Call quality is excellent.
11] Upgradable to android 2.3.
12] Great battery life way better than G5.

More test & results will follow. :)

Regarding the price and availablity of the stock the news is true. There is a stock problem for Optimus one I had to pay advance to book my phone. When I reached to buy my phone it was the last one left two people took it right away in front of me.

Big stores reliance digital / mobile store , didnt get the stock a store in my area managed some how.

@noobdroid, congrats. now i am running out of partners. everyone getting a O1, except me.

and bundled apps will always be there. and how good is battery life?

BTW, how much you payed for it?

@noja, if you talking about the entry level Huawei mobiles, their battery life isn't good as mentioned in reviews. and Here the mobile maybe slightly tweaked or maybe a bit different & you can expect better battery life (opposite is also a possibility).

Neocore results: 48.8 FPS.
Nena mark: 38 FPS.
Quadrant Benchmark: 429 at par with SE x10i

@ sam :
the battery life lasts 1.5 days with 100% charge and drains in few hours with wi-fi on.

This phone is available for 12k at my place here in Pune, before bargaining and hope it will be easily available for 11.8 or so.
