is there a way to get swype on this phone? i'm so used to it even though i just started using a phone with it, lol.. great review btw, i may get this phone(hoping it goes on sale for free/1penny for christmas :P )
@raymond5068 On gsmarena the LG Nitro HD has an avg. score of 8.6 (very high) and the LG Thrill 4G has an avg. score of 8.1. In other words, you're an idiot so stfu. Oh, and it's spelled "piece", not "peace", ya dweeby little illiterate. peace out! :)
I don't like that the search has been integrated in to the menu button. Long pressing menu brings up the keyboard, or gets rid of it, on a regular Android phone. I actually use this quite a lot, so this would really bother me.
@mobileburn But the specs everywhere say 1 GB of RAM.... The only thing I've noticed different in some LG Nitro videos is that some people say the Battery is 17xx mAh while others say 1830 mAh
@mobileburn why are all the reviewers and tech websites say that this has a gig of ram. I think what you see are the usable ram for applications. Not the full ram for graphics, phone system etc.
@moochincrawdad Remember, the Galaxy Note is very thin, so the size is not what you think it would be like. It is just a little bit wide for a phone, but other than that..it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NICE.
not fair all these new NON-FLAGSHIP phones have a HD resolution display and Samsung left their Galaxy S II users (like me!) in hot water with basic 400x800 resolution that isnt good enought for its 4.5 inch screen!
@mobileburn Are you sure? The specs on Bell Canada's website of the LG Optimus LTE (same phone, just original name) states that it has a gig of RAM. bell.ca/Mobility/Products/LG_Optimus_4G_LTE/Specifications.tab
@longstar741 Duh, for a minute or two I thought it did have 1GB. But I was looking at the wrong device (not a problem many people could have). I just ran two different sysinfo apps on the Nitro HD and both reported 783MB max and 123MB available. If there's a gig in there, LG is doing something funky with it.
that 3h talk time is a deal breaker, no thanks. Really wanted to like it.

@raymond5068 no this phone has a bigger screen better resolution, better processor, more RAM, and its not a 3D phone.
MrMurder96 1 month ago
@mobileburn, Haha, that means it has one gig. Think about it. 783 is larger than 768. Some of the RAM is reserved for the GPU. :P

@PepsiLoverx32 The battery reports minimum size (1770mAh) as well as "typical" size (1830mAh). Motorola often does the same on its batteries.

Suprisingly good camera. I like UI on this phone, very thought out. Though ugly as hell.
megamastah 2 months ago
No ICS, apparantely somewhat weak CPU/GPU from my initial investigations.
Main plusses are 720P and 4.5 screen, but that's not enough I think.
I guess I'm waiting for Galaxy S 3, that's going to be an absolute monster. Too bad it probably wont come out until like September 2012.
