LG SPIRIT 4G (MS870) expozed!!

[Gman9831]

Does this phone have Jelly Bean? Because the lockscreen and messaging is slightly different from the one on the Motion

Nope ics it's just a different LG UI

 

[quikslvr]

On this website it said 4.1 which would mean jellybean.

So, do you think this is the same as the LG P870, just a CDMA version (the P870 is an A T & T phone)?

It seems like a upgraded motion more than anything else plus the screen on this looks too big to be a brother of the escape

Can any of you Obi Wans who know how the new phone releases go down come up with Just a SWAG about approx when you might expect to see this phone go on sale?

Thankee!

looks like the screen will be at least 4.5in if not 4.7.

Sounds good. I wish I could have found out this news a week ago. For now I've got a LG Motion 4G. At least I'm locked into that sweet $30 plan.

For anyone who doesn't know yet, all the MetroPCS promos end at the start of 2013.

We still pop in hofo every other day lol thing with hofo its for phones in general well at least the metro sub forum are. Here its specifically concentrated on android which has been the only reason metro has gone up from just being a simple 1x CDMA prepaid carrier to a much used android smartphone carrier.pretty soon these 1x CDMA phones will be 100% obsolete on metro's network. Anyways regarding this phone the prices were speculation my source can't confirm prices but I'll contact him later to see if any new news.

You sure about that?

Yea, I can verify that without a phone, look at the kernel source

Hey n4zty,
If you can get me a serial number,I can get an unbrick guide for this phone, and whatever early development firmware might be on LGs servers. Maybe they are making firmware right now with unlocked boatloaders, but will later lock it. Just an idea.

Don't give LG any ideas!!!

 

[Guitarkidd]

Does anyone have any more info about this phone?

 

[MotoTriumphant]

I have a motion right now and I'm in love with it only downside is resolution. This is basically the big brother of the motion so this exactly what it needed a bigger screen with better resolution. The motion already is a beast by itself, image this one omg.

[kiroshi23]

Under testing it perform well the phone will be nice priced in the $200 range

i just want to know about overheating and battery life. that was the only thing bothering me about my connect besides the os but this has ics. i hope the boot loader is not locked i might not get it if it is

 

[Gman9831]

i hope the boot loader is not locked i might not get it if it is

Probably gonna use the same bootloader as the motion which the community over there haven't been able to crack yet

 

[carlosd24]

Is it worth waiting for this or just buying the Galaxy III?

If I were you I grab the s3 for me is the best phone I ever had feels solid well built and the community we have going on already has 4 roms and a custom kernel with more to come
