Anyone else? Its been teasing since August 4th, and there is still no pre-order or carrier information.

Just watched the DJI Mavic Pro get introduced - handheld drone that can fly 7 km while shooting 4k. Never owned one but now super excited, and guess what....they give pricing , pre-order today, October 15 availability date, etc etc. All done the right way. Strike while the iron is hot.

There goes $999. Sorry LG.

If LG just wants a smaller volume niche market- they got it. Way too early with their launch event, so no momentum and no real point for the launch. Factor that and limited market availability, kind of counter intuitive to the goal of a company- making money.

My enthusiasm isn't wearing off, but now I'm questioning my decision to choose this over saving a few hundred dollars and getting the Moto X Play since they'll probably get released at about the same time.

And I'm sitting here in europe not sure if LG will even release this phone here.

But seriously, I would buy that phone over iPhone 7, and it is comparable to Note 7. Unless you're out of phone, I think it's worth waiting for V20. And if you're out of phone, there are always cheap ones as a temporary solution.

I'm more excited about the GoPro Karma drone and it's removable self mountable gimbal....... and I'm still just as excited as ever about the v20 but I am getting sick of waiting

Really? I was too, but the Mavic has far greater range at 4.3 miles, avoidance collision, and much smaller. I would note that I have zero use for the gimbal.

I really like the Moto devices they just released. I've had several Moto devices they were all great, particularly battery life. And they have the best notification system by far.

Enthusiasm is on zero right now.


Ive been weighing my options all week but I dont like making a decision until Ive seen all options. I would just hate to jump the gun and then still want the V20 when it does finally release.

Can't lose enthusiasm for something I haven't owned.

The excitement has worn off while waiting for it, but it's still in the mix for me at this point.

Gotta see what Google does next week.

You should take to evaluate your need for instant gratification. Learn to be patient and appreciate the fact you can wait for something

While I get what you're saying they did kind of announce a phone, hype it up, and then just went dead silent on a release date. Usually you announce / build hype to cause people to want the phone and can't wait to get it -- not hype it up and then be like "Okay wait here till I tell you when". ;).

That doesn't sound good. The day after putting up Oct 2nd, they have to move it back to the 17th - they must have gotten a call from LG.
Seems even worse, since that is the preorder date. Might be end of October before available beyond a few stragglers. LG logic.
