also can try the gingerbread keyboard. its better than SWYPE or any other keyboard.

also reading about the Megatron ROM. looks good. but better let it mature before trying. maybe a new AmberHome will be better than the antagonist (megatron) rom.

after a month, forget GS as reference & pick up LG Optimus X2. thrashed GS & will continue to (until Samsung brings something like HAWK or so, to replace its hummingbirds)

Guys, I am looking to buy an Android smartphone and have shortlisted Samsung Galaxy 3, Samsung Spica and LG Optimus for purchase. Can you let me know which is the best of these 3. Also I will be in Mumbai next week and plan to buy this at Alfa. Can somebody let me know the best price for these phones. Can the price be bargained there or are prices fixed? If there is somebody from Bangalore who has bought these phones recently, please let me know the Bangalore prices as well.

Spica is actually the best out of those three, but samsung stopped its production.So you're best bet is to go with Optimus One, I personally own it and its awesome! :)

Actually anything below 12k is a great price, considering it's still lingering around 12-12.5k in rest of India.

No you can't bargain, the prices are fixed and they are written on large glass thingy stuff, so you don't need to ask anyone

IIRC the prices are higher in Bangalore, around 12.3k last I heard.

Believe Me or Not!!!
^^^ Spica was the best and Optimus One is the best :-D

Can anybody give me a link to SWYPE. I tried one but it said "screen size mismatch" :-(

Search for SWYPE HVGA and you should get lots of links in google.... Try and download the latest version (I think it should be 2.15.X.X)
Here you go: The search string - "Swype.HVGA.2.15.56.14870".

BTW a new firmware is out and installs like a charm. Not yet available via OTA or LG PC suite... and not yet able to root it.

How did you install the firmware update then? Where did you get it? Is it the official update from LG India?

Also to those who have rooted the Optimus one in India, what process did you use? I tried searching for z4root but couldn't find it in Market.

Also is there any good case available for this phone in India? Not a pouch type One because that obscures the controls.

Find the latest firmware here: *csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ATCIBK/V10e_00/V10E_00.kdz

Updates the phone to android 2.2.1 and the sd card problem seems to have been sorted out. You will need to download the KDZ updater from the web.

But be warned, the new firmware defeats all the popular methods of rooting. If you need to root stick to the default firmware. Download z4root 1.3 and install it (Google it)

Re: the LG Optimus One <Yes i want it!>

Morning guys!!

This is gonna be my first post in this forum. Good to be here finally. I tried finding out a "Introduce yourself" thread, but to no avail. Anyways, am Abhishek, a lad from Bangalore. Am totally into Trance and automobiles. You might be wondering what I am doing here then :lol:, well, I am pretty much interested in whats happening in the Android world and want to be a part of the bandwagon soon.

Speaking of which, I wanted to know from Bangalore folks, to suggest shops which would offer the best price. As of now, the lowest quote I've got is of 12,500, but am sure there would be shops selling at better rate than this.

B'lore janta, please advise!! Shop name/ location/ ph. no would be very much appreciated.

Also would like to know, if there is a "Buy n Sell" thread in here. My 5 months old E71 is up for grabs, with all OEM accessories n bill. :)

Thanks,
Abhishek.
