Sister phone

[alfick3]

Looks like Verizon is getting a version of the MS870:

LG VS870 heads to FCC in Verizon flavor, could be an Escape with wireless charging

Well, there's nothing on LG's servers for that phone's model number, yet. Will keep checking.

Here is the LG page for the unbranded phone:
LG Escape P870 | LG USA

Their support page lists an AT&T manual:
LG P870 Support: Find Manuals & Warranty Info | LG USA

If this isn't 205 already. (Edit: heh only by a couple of months)

So the sister phone is getting Jelly Bean!!!! You know what that means??? This phone may get it as well (and if not, we can always flash the Verizon firmware)

 

[sammyz]

Still nothing on LG's servers for any files yet.


But I did get a working IMEI # for when LG finally uploads their firmware

I love trial and error

So this means some custom ROM's might come our way, and most likely a bigger selection of cases?

No. Firmware from Verizon is JB.....LGs version of JB. Not a custom ROM...

Screens a different size

A repeat of the Connect/Lucid waiting to happen

 

[skrapmetal]

In that case it isn't a sister phone, more like a second cousin once removed.

 

[twogbsd]

Well, if internals are the same then its more of a little sister....

The S3 has the same CPU / GPU...so that means they're the same blood type, right?

No.
Do not flash the S3s bootloader on here, you will brick.
