Review: LG Optimus One (P500)

[tmanikandan]

if you are talking Xperia X10 mini, stay away from it

Yes

Xperia X10 Mini and Xperia Mini Pro are two different models. If it is 10k, I think u must be talking about Xperia X10 Mini and stay away from it.

If u are talking about Xperia Mini Pro, then go ahead.( If u are OK with : Battery is 1200 mah )

Yes dear, sam & tmanikandan i am talking about xperia mini pro...

I said the budget wz 10k only but after looking at this beauty i cant resist it so i am willing to shell out 5k more for such a great camera & HD video recording & its powerful too...such a complete phone.

Thanks to both of yOu for your great help...i realy appreciate it...

Thanks once again.

 

[coderunknown]

yup. good choice but a 1200mah battery sucks. and slider is not smooth (read flipkart comment). else excellent vfm.

 

[nikhil1985]

Yup...Sam battery kinda only flaw in it

but considering that i am not that much of a mobile user its not a huge concern and i will use juice defender also to improve the battery performance.

Now i need a suggetion from you since i am not a big texter & considering some douts about the keypad quality as you mentioned, will it be a good idea to buy Xperia mini rather then Xperia mini pro, i guess only difference is that Xperia mini is without keypad.

And it will be little lighter than mini pro and if i am not wrong it should be little cheaper too which makes xperia mini a realy good buy for me.

what is your opinion about it?

The only thing is that i'l have to wait a little more because its not available as yet...

 

[tmanikandan]

only difference is that Xperia mini is without keypad.

Internal Storage differs and also I think Xperia Mini doesn't have a front cam.

give a visit to some SE showroom/mobile store & check the actual quality of the slider.

yes. Xperia Mini doesn't have a front cam.

something absolutely new (& unexpected + a lil bit related to P500) coming by end of this month (if everything goes as planned). No, this is not the official gingerbread review for P500.

nice to know your problem is solved. never heard of any problem like that. BTW how was it fixed? changing sim card or changing the operator?

What are you talking about ?

a new section to the review, maybe. i am not sure if i'll add it. lets see.

Actually after 1 month of activation Vodafone people realized that a bank passbook can't be accepted as a piece of ID so they blocked Caller Id without ever telling me or giving me any notice!!

Another problem yessterday i did gingerbreak root on my LG Optimus and a Superuser has been installed but when i open it i find nothing in apps or log so how do i uninstall useless software given by LG ( My previous update no was 2.2.2)

strange rules of vodafone.

superuser app in itself is useless but if you install any app like titanium backup or terminal emulator that needs superuser privilege to work, it'll take permission from SU app & you'll have to validate it. so don't remove superuser app ever.

to remove the crapwares, simple use titanium backup but i'll suggest you go for a custom rom all together.

 

[mohityadavx]

Which rom do u sugesst for a beginner like me

Do i need to make a backup before trying the rom??

PS:- I didn't made any backup before rooting the phone. How can i unroot it if i ever want.

 

[coderunknown]

beginner or advanced user, CM7 based rom is currently the best. but which one (there is stable, beta, etc) you should try, ask AndroidFan or someone in the Optimus One thread. i don't have much idea.

Do i need to make a backup before trying the rom??

yes. make nandroid backup.

PS:- I didn't made any backup before rooting the phone. How can i unroot it if i ever want.

you can't take backup without rooting

i think z4root may work. but i am not sure. nobody ever raised this question.

 

[mohityadavx]

Thanx

Hey! Guyz
I am looking to buy a mobile under 10k & all i need is good camera in it & i want to use it as a 3g modem for My lappy.

I am seriously considering Nokia 500 & Optimus one.

I have one question:
Is it necessary to have hot spot in mobile to use it as a 3g modem via wifi?

Sam thanks for such a great detailed review of optimus one.

Thanks.

PS: I am an absolute novice in Tech. please help me in choosing the best option.

a 3g modem worth 3-4k n a nikon or sony 14mp camera is wot u need

JST GET OPTIMUS ONE

OR IF UR BUDGET IS 16-18k THEN HAVE A LOOK AT GALAXY SL AND OPTIMUS BLACK

GALAXY S @14k? HWS THAT POSSIBLE BRO..THIS IS THE BEST DEAL..ALWAYS LOOK FOR A VALID BILL
