What carrier for LG Optimus 2X?

[Baconator]

What carrier is this device going to? I heard T-Mobile but then IDK.

I wish I knew. Hopefully we find out soon. I heard that it might have a CDMA chipset but I can't remember where I heard that. If that is the case, I don't see this going to VZW with the devices they just announced. Who knows might be Sprint.

Initially, they said T-mobile. Now it seems they have no clue. We should find out soon enough.

Please, please, please let it be Sprint! LOL

Sprint NEEDS this, will all the other carriers getting superphones what is sprint going to do? I would hardly call the Shift a superphone.

Been with T-Mobile for a little over one year and I couldn't be happier. Have the N1 and MyTouch 4G and live in a very hot HSPA+ area with sick speed. Saying that it is very obvious I want this new LG device on T-Mobile. Combine the speed of their network and the price of their plans to me there is no better network. Let's not forget all other carriers will be charging more $$$ for their 4G service. NOT T-Mobile.

Its radios would indicate AT&T.

Hopefully on every carrier that has an optimus phone now. this will hopefully be his big brother.

My thought exactly... Sprint is trying hard to be the company with all, or most of the big name devices. Go Sprint go.

the LG black is going to At&t right? the LG revolution to Verizon i believe. so i feel like the optimus 2x is 50/50 t-mobile or sprint. im hoping sprint.

 

[Baconator]

I'm am pretty sure it is t-mobile. Idk where I read it but I remember something about it going to t mobile.

 

[sweetmonster457]

damn. im sitting on a sprint upgrade. the Evo shift isnt seducing me. deep down i want a huge screen. when is anything cool and not theoretical coming to sprint?

 

[Baconator]

Wait just a little while longer. I have been hearing that Sprint has some really good devices coming up.. they are going to announce them at another tech show. It is always good to wait a while.

I don't think Sprint is gonna sit back and let other companies release phones and not compete. I mean the Evo is a great phone but I'm sure newer version or more is coming.

I'm not sure if Sprint has much of a choice.

I think the reason the phones are going to AT&T and Verizon are largely due to their size and how they run the promos. Both companies sell their top tiered phones on the cheap to gain customers, like $1 or BOGO; Sprint doesn't. So if you're a phone builder, who do you have the best chance with when it comes to sales?

Yes, I know the EVO went to Sprint last year, but Sprint was offering 4G, where no other carrier was. And for HTC to say they were 1st to 4G, in the US, probably was a big reason why Sprint got such a nice phone. Now that Sprint doesn't have the 4G advantage, what do they have that would entice a phone manufacture to want to release a top tier phone on them? At least T-Mobile is GSM making it easier for these builders to release a global phone with them.....

 

[sweetmonster457]

it sucks that we probably wont get our SPRINT hands on anything superior than the EVO or EPIC for another 6 months. thats why i was hoping for this LG in March-ish.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

I'm waiting for a link to the info that this phone is coming to T-Mo.

 

[sweetmonster457]

i just kind of found this, im not claiming its right though

June for a new Sprint phone sounds about right. That's one year after the Evo. Makes sense and though I'd love it to be this phone, if it's not I know there will be something comparable coming.

I'd keep my eye on CTIA for Sprint announcements.

I think it was phonedog. If not it was tmonews.
