Optimus 2X goes up for pre-order overseas

The Optimus 2X has made quite a splash around the globe, but so far LG has been reluctant to give out official launch details. We still don’t have any solid plans on where the device will land in the US, but retailer Expansys and Ellos have opened up pre-order for the 2X across Europe.

Expansys‘ pre-order details place the Optimus 2X right along with current smartphones price wise – On contract with Vodafone the 2X can had for free, and without a SIM it’s coming in at £499.99 or roughly $800. According to the shipping schedule, the device should be headed out by March 21st.

Danish store Ellos has a slightly different plan in store – The device can be had for somewhere near $650, or 3599 DKK, and will ship by February 25th.

If either of these offers are a sign of things to come when the Optimus 2X lands in the US, we can expect the device to be fairly competitive. What do you think, would you buy a dual-core 2X unlocked for $650? Let us know in the comments below.

I will not buy this because if I am paying that much for a premium product I expect software updates. Otherwise I would have to root it and install my on ROM and potentiall risk a $850 paper weight instead of a $500 one.

Its probably not coming to the US as long as people buy phones like the thunderbolt (LTE but no dual core, whats the sense of LTE then?)

Amazon germany offers it for 499€

Consider this: The moment you pay $850 for the phone, another phone with quad-core processor and double the RAM of this phone will be released 3 months after Opimus' release date. Just look at the history of Android devices. If you have money to burn like that, then go wild and get it, but there is no reasonable justification for paying almost $1k for a phone. None. Don't even try.

I won't say what you are if you would buy a damn phone for some outrageous price like that.

650$? that's like 715$ with taxes.. :S I can purchase a G slate with that amount of cash probably.. I'll go up to 550$ before tax.

Hell yea, i would pay $850 max, thats a phone, camera, camcorder, mp3, and more all in one, this is the year when I get all lg products including the g slate, I'm excited.

Yea and I will gladly pay more
