If I/O doesn't bring anything interesting, I will be getting GPro or the developer One. I am concerned how I would like the button layout on the One. Which button layout do you prefer and do you find the buttons on One annoying?

I dont find them annoying just like anything else, when you're used to one thing anything else takes ab it of getting used to thats all

Looks like an amazing phone but I am not clear about compatible frequencies/LTE, would I buy the international version or the AT&T Optimus G Pro version if I want to unlock it and run it on +T-Mobile's network? Does anybody know, will it even work with Tmobile's LTE if so? Thanks guys.

What accessories are out for the OGPro so far? Ive only seen the factory flip cover.I sure hope they better with accessories than they did with the Optimus G.

I saw a video review earlier today that said the international version would work on T Mobile,but I dont know about they're lte,I dont see why not.

So far it's not looking very promising. I guess all the case manufacturers feel that lg is not a big player anymore like the other 3

What can you talk me about the shutter speed of the camera? Is it quick enough to get good action shots with burst mode as well as good sharp stills?
I want it to be at least as good as my One X (samples below). Otherwise I think I love it!!

Those are some nice pics, and yeah I am wondering myself how good the Optimus G pro camera is.

How do you take a screenshot?

Thanks. You have to hold the buttons down for about a second. I wasn't pressing them long enough.

How is that done? cant seem to figure that one out.

In case you haven't figured it out, pinch your fingers together on one of the home screens and then tap on the plus sign. You can have 7 home screens.

Is there anything on the camera (yet) that's like the Drama mode on the s4? I know it's mostly gimmicky but there are certain instances where I'd use it. Not a deal breaker, but I am interested in the gpro, but sadly I don't have the $$ to own both that and the s4 (and the ONE). I heard the camera takes "soft" stills outdoors...how is the camera?
Also, can somebody post what getting texts looks like on the lockscreen?
Thanks

You can pinch the home screen to see all available panels--from there, you'll be able to add and remove as needed.

Does your Browser double tap to zoom? Mine isn't working?

Works fine here, and I don't see it as a setting, so it should work out of the box.

Being right handed I found the back button on the left side of the home button to be a bit of an adjustment, but I've since adapted. The same can be said for the One-- just something to get used to.

Haven't seen any yet but the flip cover is fantastic-- I love the automatic on and off and it looks great to boot.

I can't lie-- as great as the G Pro's camera is, it cannot stand up next to HTC optics . The. Pro has a lightening fast shutter and burst mode is fantastic, and it's capable of producing truly stellar images. But if you're a fan of the One X you'll definitely want to take the One for a spin before you make up your mind.

You'll definitely want to check it out. I never noticed soft photos and rarely found a situation in which the Pro was unable to produce great results. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of its competitors (including a Drama Mode equivalent) but it makes up for it in quality.

I'm seriously thinking about selling my nexus ⁴ and getting this straight cash from AT&T. I mean $549 is a SICK price for this ridiculous hardware but my question is will AT&T unlock the phone if I do this so I can put it on T-Mobile?
