Should I get this?

[dakota.breeden]

Ok so I dont know what to get i found this phone for 20$ and the evo 4g LTE for 150$ and the Galaxy Nexus for 150$. I dont really have any money but i dont know how ICS will do on this phone. And I doubt this phone will get android 5.0 like the Galaxy Nexus.

The specs are somewhat similar to my rezound (dual core, 1GB memory) so it should run ICS well. If you found the 4g lte for $20 I would buy it and flip it for one of the others. The phone was only released a month ago and you should get 100 easy for it. My first question is what is wrong with it

Oh and LG is already on record as saying that all phones released in 2012 will get the Jellybean

 

[dakota.breeden]

Thanks for the quick replies guys! Is there a link to where LG said that every 2012 phone would get jelly bean
And what about roms guys?

the s3 chipset in the viper is the same as the evo3d

so really you are talking about swapping from a well developed device (we have cm9) to a smaller screen, losing wimax (and gaining lte) to get the viper...

ok should i get this or wait (which is the thing i don't want to do) and get this= Snapdragon S4, NFC Specs Confirmed for LG Cayenne 4G LTE for Sprint

I'm not sure if the viper or cayenne will catch on I go on the sprint site regularly as well a make trips to my local sprint store 2 a month and they aren't advertising them that well. In fact the viper is sitting in a corner next to the massive fruitphone display.

guys i just looked at this again AmazonWireless: LG Viper 4G Android Phone (Sprint) and they are basically giving you 5$ to take the phone!

I found th Galaxy Nexus for 100$ I might get it. But whats weird is the lg viper is faster than the Galaxy Nexus. So im still wondering why not many people are caring about this phone?

according to the benchmarks, but i assure you my galaxy nexus beats the brakes off the viper in every way. the samoled screen is amazing and crisp at 720p. i never overclock because ive yet to run into something that slows my phone down. the reason why this phone is overlooked is because its old technology. the s3 chipset cant compare to the new s4 that will be in the sgs3/evo/eclipse/photon-q. im not saying the viper is a bad phone just not the new high end device that most devs go running after :/

They are basically paying you 25$ to take this phone!!!
