The Optimus G has a locked bootloader though, doesn't it?

Afaik this was confirmed by LG themselves.

Yeah but its been rooted already, those XDA guys are getting quicker and quicker, rooting phones before its even released.

The bootloader is always locked on all phones, its the encrypted/signed one's you have to worry about.

Really wanting this phone after thinking about it a lot.

Nexus 4 manual leaks out confirming that the phone will be available in 8GB and 16GB versions at launch. So that's quite a good thing, I still think I will hold on for the inevitable 32GB version in a few months time.

Also a previously unknown feature in the manual is wireless charging like what the Lumia920 has!

^I think wireless charging was mentioned before.

Could be a render, not sure.

Wireless charging is awesome, if it's common between the phone and the nexus 10 than that's even more awesome (maybe also an addition to the nexus 7?)

kona786 · 27 Oct 2012 at 11:39

Yup, pees all over the Lumia 920 parade.

hope they don't keep us waiting to long/

Last years was postponed by Steve Jobs death, this year a hurricane, next year Armageddon?

Lets hope they bump up the "rumoured" storage capacity!

meh, I want proper wireless charging, where you don't even have to place the mobile on some pad!

This, I understand there is some advantages to not needing a cable, but with a cable I can at least use my phone while it chargers. To me personally that's a lot more useful, and unless the charging pad comes bundled I predict some stupidly high pricing.

Palm pre webOS style. This is my next phone.

Surprised to see the sim free price so competitive at launch.

Depends if that is for the 8GB or 16GB

I imagine it is for the 8GB, it's a headline grabbing price. However I still expect the 16GB to be ~£400-£420.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a leak of the white one yet. I wonder if that's just because it's coming later, like with the white Nexus S and GNex.
