Oh man, i didnt know this had an expansion slot. I am really interested in this phone now. I was before but even more now. If the N5 doesnt wow, im getting this as it does have that wow factor but again, the only bad thing is when it will get 4.3.
EDIT...oh wait, are you saying it doesnt have a microcard slot?

Seen it yesterday at AT&T sweet phone, not even looking at the one anymore.
How is the charging time on this? Does lg provide the faster charger than Samsung does?
Buttons on the bottom look better than the big home button. Hope Apple goes this route with the i6
2 Questions
Is the phone 16gb only and is it better than the HTC One? I am due an upgrade and was looking at the HTC One or even Nexus 5
----------

It comes with 32gb, I think it's like 24gb free out of the box. That should be more with one of the ROMs that cleans out the bloatware though.
The build quality is excellent IMO, better than the Galaxy line. I read a lot of reviews that harped on the "slimy" shiny slippery plastic backing of the G2, but honestly I don't know what they were smoking. The G2 feels very well put together, the backing is definitely a bit slippery, but it's not cheap feeling in the least. Also instead of having a gaudy chrome strip surrounding the frame it has a very thin almost unnoticeable silver strip, which IMO is MUCH classier looking than the big chrome strip you see on other phones. Overall very solid, no creaks or flexing, and the screen...
I'd put the plastic on par with the iphone 5C, nice and solid, where I feel the Galaxy devices are a step under that solid feeling.

That's how I feel too. They must have gotten some bad marketing material. I would have bought one on the spot.
Oh okay. Seriously considering getting this phone over the HTC One. The problem i think the UK are only selling 16gb versions. I can't see any 32gb versions the major networks like 02 and Three are selling.
Also if i get this phone, i will have to buy a separate ipod as this phone isnt good enough to hold my music collection as ive heard the music quality is brlow par.
What colour do you think looks better...white or black?
16gb is tough, I don't think I would have bought it with only 16gb. The music is a bit odd, and I'd say probably my only complaint. The speakers are not the greatest, but I haven't used them that much so I wouldn't be the best judge. Bluetooth audio is kind of crappy IMO. Stereo bluetooth music is a bit tinny compared to my old ip5, but it's not terrible. Headset/phone bluetooth audio, on the other hand, is pretty crappy.
If you listen to music a lot the HTC One may be a better fit, I've never owned it though so I can't say from experience. I don't think I would have paid full price for the G2, but I scored it for $400 off of craigslist so it worked out well.
BLACK all the way, with the black surround/bezel it makes the screen look incredible. The only thing that ruins the effect is the stupid LG logo, but it's not bad.
oh okay. im gonna call around and see if they have 32gb/ since this phone will be on a 24 month contract i need at least 32 gb/
but you recommend this over the htc one?
I don't know about bluetooth and etc, but for music through headphones...this phone is suppose to be the best out. It has 24 bit audio, which is way superior to any other phone.
I don't have the phone nor do I plan on getting it, but I did read that in a few places.

ehhh?
heard its one of the worst lol out of the next gen smart phones
htc one is much better in this regard
I have the Verizon G2 and my one complaint is the sound volume. It is really low...i have it turned up to maximum so i don't miss email or text notifications. The sound through headphones is ok...... But TBH the HTC One has the best sound for a smartphone on the market.

As stated there, and various reviews, the g2 can output higher quality audio. That is ALL i know. I don't know how it translates into real world performance.
The htc one was great...I know have a iphone 5s. They both have their advantages, but the htc one sound was superb.
Yup looks like i might have to go for the htc one
the lg2 doesnt seem to come in 32gb but only 16 seems to available in the uk
----------
Yeah i may end up with the htc one but what is putting me off is that it is kinda old now....the new one will more likely be out early next year.....but i cant really wait since i am due an upgrade from next week. Guess i may have to wait.
I want a phone where i can listen to my music, browse the net etc....which the htc one delivers.
Is the LG G2 selling well? Any reports on that?
In light of the continuing grim HTC news, I feel Android will really need a challenger to Samsung. Sony just doesn't really seem to be on the radar, and Motorola is still in the midst of "coming back."
Of the big names, that sort of leaves LG as the only one...

I took my G2 back to AT&T this morning and purchased a T-Mobile Note 3. He (at T-mobile) was trying to push the G2 to a few people including myself so that is a positive sign I suppose. He also said though that his store has sold more Note 3s in the 2 days they've had them than any other phone, including the iPhone 5S/5c.
I really was tempted by the N3, but it's just so huge. I had the Note 2 and could never get used to it, although it was an awesome phone. The G2 is a perfect size, nice and large, but not embarrassingly large. I wish the G2 had a stylus, that would make it perfect and I'd never look at other phones again.
Absolutely nothing reallly. It's a great phone with one of the best screens I've seen on a phone. For me though, I actually thought the phone was too small after using a Note 2 for the past year. I actually missed using the stylus too.
I would have gotten the G2. Sadly it only comes in the 16gb sadly in the UK and thats way too small for me
Not to go off topic, but I've been using Hangouts video recently, and it's been great.
And now it's in HD.
Both ends using either a MBP (mine being Retina) and/or a Nexus 7.
Haven't tried it on the phone yet as I just don't video chat on the phone.
