New Preview

LG Star preview -- Engadget

Engadget's official preview of the GG Star.

It scored a 2156 on Quadrant! Considering that "the software isn't fully baked," and it's running Froyo, and doesn't have a lagfix, that's pretty fantstic.

Sounds like they think it will come out early next year, hopefully with Gingerbread.

Yeah it sure is a nice looking phone. Anyone know whose getting it? Verizon? T-mobile? Etc..

Wasnt this the phone the verizon ceo was carrying around a few months back?

If this comes out around Feb/March on Verizon it may be my next phone. The OG Droid is still kicking thanks to BlackDroid, but I think I'm ready to ditch the physical KB for something like this.

anyone know if this is going to be a 4G device?

I've read it's coming to Tmo w/HSPA+. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Glad to see that LG is stepping up in their android phones, being one of the first coming out with dual core super-phone. Hopefully it comes to Verizon too.

Well this is interesting:

LG Star could launch as Optimus 2X to emphasize its dual-core processor – Android and Me

Reminds me of the myTouch HD becoming the myTouch 4G. Sounds like this forum will be renamed soon.

More interesting coverage, leading to the assumption that this will be named the Optimus 2X:

Strangely, no mention of the U.S. market, however.

This needs to be released on ALL carries just like the galaxy s was. It will be the only chance it has to have world DOMINATION . Im still getting it no matter what. Im hoping LG promotes this as much or more that samsux dose with that brick they call a phone. Come on LG if you want to be relevant in the android world . You must do this .
