Upgrading my phone. Cheap ATT phone to LG G2. Advice?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2-Latest...item27f252e421
Looking at upgrading my current phone. Anyone have the LG G2 linked above? Currently I use a AT&T Tribute/Fusion 3... http://www.att.com/esupport/article....B425444&cv=820 and my backup is a Nokia Lumia 635 windows phone... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/phone/lumia635/ Both are low end phones. I really like the Windows phone but the lack of google apps blows it for me. I already know this blows away my cheapy phones from last Christmas but is it worth the money to upgrade? |

No, I had no clue you could slap another piece of tempered glass on top of the phone's own tempered glass. I don't use screen protectors though. They're completely unnecessary for me.

My Coworker has a G2, i think it's a really nice phone. He does all of his business through it. I almost got one, but decided on the Amazon Fire phone since it was only $100.
I've read a lot of bad reviews on the Fire phone but i love it. I have no idea what some of those people were complaining about. The only issue i've had with it thus far is that it doesn't play well with Google Play.

Hey I have had this G2 for little more than 2 weeks now. I like it so far screen is just right size and very sharp. The battery life is incredible on this phone about 2 solid days before depleted. Then lolipop snuck up like a thief in the night and whittled it down to about a day and half. Its a 32 gig with no micro SD and I dont like that as far as storeing my music library on it. After all the ATT bloat its about 20g. I plan to take care this in the near future. I need a little more time with it. My work phone a lumia 822 with windows 8.1 is so much better an operating system. Things just seem to work right and how it ought to but till Microsoft takes mobile phones serious and that will be never you will have Habib makes clones of apps to run apps popular on Android and Iphone. Habib is a bastard he wants to know everything about you. So until Habib is run out of Dodge its Android for me on personal phone.
Oh its a little disturbing to know the screen is as fragile as a bag of potato chips in the back pocket of a trucker. |

12 g seems like a lot to me. Surely the op system isn't taking all that can it.

Well have a good laugh but its the first smart phone that ive owned that wasn't for work. Windows phone 8.1 ran smooth as silk and did everything and more on less than 4 gig.

Love my LG G2, will be getting the G4 when I am up for an upgrade in November. And why not get the G3 or the G4? The G3 is out now and the G4 should be out soon.

The G3 isn't as good as the G2. Every single review out there says its a downgrade and not worth getting. There is no way in hell I'll pay that kind of money for the G4. Don't you know anything about me?

Its a decent phone as long as you don't need Google Play apps. Its the main reason I won't even consider the Fire phone.
