LG Optimus One lands, priced at 50% off!

I want this cell phone then auctioned cute nice expensive than what purpose can I buy that charge cell phones to loved ones still do 50% off expensive or not available pm me plz ….?? my number 092047*****

I bought this phone for P12,900. It’s worth it, you can’t ask for more because it is powered by the latest Android 2.2 Froyo though it’s not the 10.1 flash like the other powerful Droid phone offered, so you can’t play facebook games, but the price worth it. It’s still a smart phone with a very cheap price. I maximized it’s usage by downloading “Free” Apps in Android Market. It has NDrive software with it, it’s a GPS Navigation software which you can download the Philippine Road Map. I’m not sure if it’s just a free trial but still waiting for 7 days just to confirm that it’s not. This navigation software doesn’t need an Internet connection for it to work (except for the initial set-up and upgrades). The Augmented Reality stuff, Google Goggles app are awesome. Too bad out Network Providers can’t maximize its usage. Good things there’s wi-fi hot spot everywhere.

In short, it’s still Froyo w/o 10.1 flash in cheaper price compared with Galaxy S and HTC Desire. Good for beginner Droid Phone user.

I wonder what happened to the special sale offered by LG?

Hi, I think baka mas may magandang offer pa ang LG for the Philippines dahil dito…

http://www.cn-c114.net/578/a554606.html

Malay natin baka yung isang unit naman ang ibenta at 50% off? Ang LG GT540 Optimus
http://www.cn-c114.net/578/a556259.html

Kailangan maging impressive ang kanilang handset sales…

Kaya LG Philippines, make that Optimus One P500 selling price at 6,500-7,000 range and your sales will definitely go up…

Siguro naman may profit pa rin sila kahit 6,500 lang ang benta sa Optimus One????

@jordan:

saan mo nalaman ang dec sale na yan?any details?

waaaa.. magsi-sale ulit sila sa december! this time sisiguraduhin ko nang nandun na ako sa mega o nedsa ng mga 6am. tignan ko lang kung makakasingit pa yung iba! sa LG management, make sure naman po na wala nang insiders o whatever man yan! basta be fair na lang sana. sa mga taga-fitness gym, sana pagbawalan niyo na sila sumali! kasi unfair maaga silang nakakapasok sa loob! hahaha! at sana wag na rin magdala ng mga katulong o alalay na pagpipilahin din. grrrrrrr…

1 is to 1 lang dapat! attention LG! this is your last chance!

@tsk @tsk..

intay intay ka na lang ng ibang brand.. makisama ka naman.. hehehehe.. i bet you na mas marami pang worth it na android phone na lalabas in the market.. alam ko me negative review na dyan.. search mo nalang..

ayan i try to discourage tsk tsk.. dapat ganyan gawin nyo .. hahaha..

me point naman si concern_po_sa_inyo. hehe konting analyze lng ng sitwasyon.

Im not from LG and I have this phone. nabili ko nung Oct31 pa @12,990. pinili ko to over HTC wildfire which has only 528mhz and 240 x 320 Qvga resolution, tpos ang mahal mahal pa. bago pa maganap ang sale nag popost na ko dito.

ok naman yung phone. problema ko lng ngayon is may 1 dead pixel ako. Pero di nman masyado halata kasi sobrang liit.sir yuga covered ba yun ng warranty? nag search ako sa net kelangan 5-10 dead pixel ung requirement para replacement na.(HTC brand). Tnx peace!

@concern_po_sa_inyo.

halatang planted ka ng LG. another FAIL at PR and crisis management. concern mo mukha mo!

what a hard sell LG, that’s just low! naka all caps pa sa LG optimus one, product comparison, plug-in na may december sale…

pathetic.

May 30% sale parin ba?!

guys, just look at LG’s fail apology

http://www.yugatech.com/blog/events/lg-nokia-sale-the-aftermath/

it just doesn’t suffice. tsktsk…

they better do something about this!

buti ngayon ko na lang nakita tong promo na to, otherwise isa ako sa mga sumusumpa sa LG ngayon.

Ang galing nyo magpaasa ng tao. Kahit na cguro one hour na Sale lang yan if marami ang staff na mag-aasikaso marami ang mapapagbigyan. Isa ang nagdedemo, isa ang cashier (mano2x pa), isa magrerelease. Ang ibang staff nakatungaga lang. For sure ganon din sa ibang lugar, ok din kayong tlga LG noh, then ng malapit na ang time at marami nagagalit all of the sudden you said na eextend ang promo.. more units will be release at tatawagan lang! Don’t give us the reason dahil first time nyo lang nagkaroon ng ganitong promo, nde nyo na-anticipate na ganito mangyayari. ano kayo nde professional? nde marunong mag-isip?? These are all your marketing strategy pra mapasikat produkto nyo.. Good news you’ve got our attention, bad impression nga lang! DTI must look at this, at sna nde na mauulit ang ganito. GoodLuck na lang sa LG!

buti na lang hindi ako tumuloy. nagising ako nang 9 pero tinulog ko lang ulit thinking i won’t do something like this just for a phone. thank goodness inuna ko sarili ko bago ang materyal na bagay.

sa mga nakapila sa sm north skygarden, ano na nangyari kay lola na nakapila dun? yung nakared na lola? nacurious lang ako. hehehhe

is this a promo? they’ve let thousands of people wait in A SUPER long line and let them leave with nothing at hand. I waited for more than 6hrs for nothing. All i got was stomps on my foot and sore feet. Everyone was pushing and squeezing in. PLEASE >:|… excuse me, what’s with that 3 @ a time? From that 1hr, they’ve only accommodated like less than 20? it took almost 20 mins for 3 people to buy. THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE MADE “PROMOS” WHEREIN THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY PLANNING ON SELLING! Nokia sold over a hundred of phones with 2hrs because of their systematic way. life’s good huh?

sabi nung isang LG staff dun unlimited daw and stocks eh bakit lumabas, 40 lang ata nabenta. grabe, dami nilang pinaasang tao. ang panget talaga ng naging sistema.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeaYgRwlmbk
haba ng pila tapos 30 units lang?

mga katabi ko kanina sinisigaw “LG – Lahat Ginago”.

oh and did i mention that the only security surrounding the area were the people under said manager? need i say more?

hahaha okie lang kahit di ako nakabili ng phone.. grbe ung experience sa linya.. at sa mga tao na gagawin ang lahat just to get the phone.. hehehe..!!! marami namang lessons na natutunan… hehehe.. ang sarap mag gain ng experience sa mga ganitong event… though mas masaya kung nakakuha ng phone.. ang pangit nga kasi ng sistema.. sbi nung babae sa megamall 20 daw ang magassist.. eh yun pala 3 lang ata eehehe.. bka mag cherry mobile na lang ako may android phone din pala sila hahaha!!! check ko pa dito sa net ung specs.. pede rin samsung galaxy 5 hahah

@sir yuga may review na po ba kayo about dun sa cherry mobile na android ung OS??

may pinapasok ng maaga si SM!! ang masama sa LG, pinaasa nila tao. before 12 nag ask na kami na kung wala naman units eh pauwiin na mga tao. sinabi ko na dapat from main eh alam kung ilan units lang dadalhin. tapos ang sabi eh depende daw din sa DTI kung extend yung promo time beynod 1 hour. that’s why they kept people waiting. Grabe.

we were at the megamall from 8am….waited till the opening of doors…..since i am the first in the line, we ran….i missed the escalator side, so 4 more guys were able to go ahead of me. but it was okay….until I arrived to find out that a group of people were let in earlier ahead of us (they were let in by the guard). Only a hundred people away at first, but we’re not satisfied, knowing that there is only one cashier, and all freakin’ crap of people who wouldn’t give number unlike the nokia. As expected, we were left out to be about 800th when 2pm came….

we were telling the staff that they should at least give number or give the cutoff already instead of making publicity over people who are going to be WASTING their time over some stupid crap of sellers.

We were discussing computations of estimated people they were going to be able to capacitate but the damn staffs just want a lot of people crowding around. we’ve heard enough excuses, LG!

Sana yung 30% sale na susunod at least 1-3 days man lang. I’m sure marami paring bibili kahit sumama loob nila today. :)

GUYS!

http://www.dtincr.ph/complaint.php

grabe nasa tamang pila na kami kasi maraming ang gumawa ng sariling linya tapos ng kagulo then yung isang lg staff ng papasulat sa papel ng name at cell number kaiinis buti pa ang nokia organize sila di magulo.

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY..nakakuha kami ng mga friends ko. nabenta na nga namin 10k each.

:P

MESSAGE FOR LG:

because of what happened today wish kung marami pa ang tumangkilik sa mga phones ninyo…you were not organize specially those who fall in line sa sm north.there were 1000 of people there sacrificing to fall in line as early as 7 am to get one of those phone..pinaasa niyo lang kami!!!! sana from the start you announced that you can only accomodate 30 or 40 persons kc because of the volume you cannot organize the lines na…singit there and singit everywhere na ang nangyari…

feel so bad…that LG sucks!!!!! we were falling in line and halos malapit lang kami they keep on announcing na marami ang makakuha pero pag patak ng 2pm grabe may demo, picture taking at sobrang bagal… tapos nung nagannounce na ng last 30mins nagkagulo na…inipit na kami at nawala na kami sa pila…kainis talaga pinaasa nila ang tao sana maaga palang sinabi na nila na hanggang 30 units lang ibebenta nila at hindi na nagpakahirap ang maraming tao…

SA MGA PUMIPILA SA MEGAMALL AT NORTH EDSA:
BUMIBILI BA KAYO NG NFA RICE??? SHORTAGE BA?? HEHEHEHE

been to gmall davao to see how my friends who went for the promo were doing. at the end of the 1-hour period, only less than 50 units were sold (around 41 IIRC). it was a very frustrating experience for my friends considering they were already in line when the mall opened. kupad talaga ng processing ng LG. nokia, on the other hand, was organized despite having only a few customer.

LG might have gained publicity on this sale but it sure isn’t positive as it left a lot of angry customers.

I was on the 16th line and they were able to accommodate me at 2:30pm. 2 mins per person!

BUT, the phone is fantastic! it’s surprisingly responsive. UI is great.I haven’t tried playing games but I think 256K resolution is fine. Touchscreen is superb as well! I like this as much as my iPhone. :)

Wala na talaga. Sana if 30 lang pala irerelease nila 30 numbers lang din ang ipinamigay para di na sana pumila pa yung iba ng ilang oras. Hindi daw talaga organized ang LG. Grrr!

from Gaisano Mall (Davao) after na may marami ng nakapila ng ilang oras saka sila nag announce na 30 units lang daw ibebenta nila. tapos ang bagal daw… waaah!

galing ako sa megamall, mag start na ang LG kaso ang bagal kasi mag pictorial pa after maka bili ng phone!!! good luck sa one hour timeframe.

e kng sa 1 hour na un sana magbigay na lang muna ng stub sa lahat ng nakapila tpos pwede nila bilhin ung unit say-hangang bukas. mas ok siguro ung ganun

I was in Megamall at around 10:30AM and was surprised that the line to the promo is already on the floor below, grabe ang dami, sobra! I spoke with an LG sales lady and I told her I’m willing to line up even the whole day if you can guarantee that I’l get served when it’s my turn already, unfortunately she can’t make one, I told her that there’s no way you can serve a hundred even if you have 8 cashiers in an hour.

Wish ko lang na ulitin nila ulit yun event and make it half day instead of the ridiculous one hour, libre naman mangarap :D

Haba ng pila….sana maka kuha kami. tumakbo kami from 3rd floor car park up to 4th floor to cyberzone. Nagutom ako after the run. Parnf Black Friday sale sa US.

SEE YOU GUYS!!! :D

@Mael
/laslas

10:15am ako dumating. Sa haba ng pila mahihiya ang pila ng Wowowee at ng NFA rice! T_T)

so ibig sabhin hindi pa nag hihirap ang mga pinoy kasi may pambili pa silang lahat ng 6500php na cell phone. hehe.

Wahaha! Some one hit me while a I was running then karma came and he hit an ad amf fell and sounded like snake from MGS no one screamed Snake! Snake! Snake thou!!! X3

Update on LG Megamall:

People who weren’t able to line up are complaining already.. Although diskartehan lang talaga labanan dito, I can still feel their frustration. One gripe is LG advertised this promo so much, they can’t even handle or accommodate the people. SM guards and even the janitors are used to organize the event (there are bouncers though). I can smell riot later LOL. I guess I’m just lucky to be on the top 30.

There are probably around 1000 people in line already. Nokia is no different either.

Unfortunately hindi prepared ang guards at LG people. Isang maayos na pila binago nila, nagkatulakan at nagkasakitan. Ang haba ng pila 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM9SCsYbV3c&feature=youtube_gdata_player

-Sent via YugaTech Mobile App

grabe! ang haba ng pila. hindi na ko nito makakakuha.

This is madness!!! Hahaha!!!

There are about 1,000++ people in here already. When the gate opened at 10am, people came rushing in, everyone’s running. It was a crazy scene.. The first 50 people are lined in near the LG Concept Store. While the other hundred are lined all the way up to the escalator area.

Nokia on the other hand, gave numbers so people can go out of the line and can just go back before 1pm. But some are still lined in though.

Oh and before I forget, this is whats wrong with LG Optimus One. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnPsY6Z6Uu4

buti nga may multi touch unlike Xperia X8 wala haha responsive parin naman sya kahit ganyan. (i have this phone).

update naman sa SM north oh!???

I’m already in line here in LG Megamall. I arrived at around 8:50am and I’m already the 12th in line.. As of now 9:18 am, there are I think around 50 people in line already. Wow!

update s sm north edsa. 50 + na pila, nagagalit na c lola. Hehe

tara na guyzz… :D

The goal of LG here is not to sell as much units as possible. This is just marketing buzz, now that everyone is curious about the LG Optimus One there is a big chance you’ll still buy one even on the regular price. :D

Oh and before I forget, this is whats wrong with LG Optimus One. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnPsY6Z6Uu4

totoo po bang 50 units lang at pde ba credit card?

waaaaaaaaaaahhhh.. i’ll be there tomorrow upon the opening of sm mega, hahahaha gusto ko to.. malaki na din yung matitipid hahaha ill surely buy one. matingnan bukas ang eksena sa lg.. update2 nalang sa mga bibili hahaha

hmm makapunta nga.. see you guys in 4th floor parking.. hehehe.. tapos takbuhan na……

maghanda na rin ng saktong pambayad para bumilis pa lalo! hehe

how will that be possible? Grrr!!! Parang mas ok na sakin yung Nokia C6. DTI approved pa.

Just call LG store, basta kailangan ordered, paid & processed before 3pm can avail of the discount, even you given a stub, even you are line up, even if you are inside the store, even ……
when 3pm strike, no more discount daw.

so it can be 3 units only (if they demo, test, etc etc) 1 unit for an hour,

how can DTI approve such promo without clear direction, it sure to create chaos.

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

What if pumunta kami ng maaga, as in pag open ng store, maaacomodate din ba kami, or walang pakialam sa pila, basta first 50 pag strike ng 2pm??? PLEASE CLEAR MECHANICS/INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Optimus parin ako. matagal na ko nag retire sa Nokia.

ano ba OS ng C6?

meron bang ganito ang C6? => http://www.ipmart-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=739 :)

ok lang mag c6 ung iba para di agawan masyado sa Optimus one.

waaahh..nagsabay pa kasi sila..hirap tuloy mamili..

guys, optimus pa rin ba kayo or c6 na? ang mahirap mamili e..help!

sir yuga,

pwede ba credit card outright or cash lang?

@K1020

Its normal on every android phone in its first boot.
mas matagal pa nga ung htc wildfire na dinemo sakin hehe. kasi 528mhz lng. :)

sir yuga,

I heard meron din daw sale ang samsung 1-2pm, pa confirm naman. thanks

guys utang na loob ung mga mayayaman dyan at afford nmn full retail price wag na kayo makipag agawan samen. Give chance to others naman HAHAH… Sir yuga pakisabi sa LG na sana gawin nilang mapayapa ang event… dyusko..

no wonder LG phone unit is money losing machine. It’s the only way to remain significant at this time. But this will definitely spiral their hope of profitability.

i will take my chance.. All the way from quezon province.. Sana makaabot sa first 50 queues.. Or else i will buy the regular price para masulit ang transpo,hehe..

@ agvu

ako alam ko na,hehe im from davao. i havent used LG phones kaya nagdadalawang isip pa talaga ako dito..mura na nga pero mahirap na pag d ka nasiyahan sa phone mo…

but susubukan..mukha naman ayos eh.=)

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
wat a price.. kakabili ko lang ng 3gs eh. =)
ganda nitong cp na to..
may flash po ba to sir yuga?

san po ba lg store sa sm north? nang maabangan na yan hehe

san po magbibigay ng stubs?

Yeah, I called LG din, limited to the 1st 50 customers (1 per customer) nga daw… Nakuuu… Good luck na lang. May hangover pa ako from my Friday night gimmick, para lang sa pagmamahal ng Android! Pag hindi umabot, tataya na lang ako sa lotto! Hahaha!

sa lahat ba ng LG concept stores yung sale? di lang sa mga na-mention sa blog ni sir yuga?

super nkakatakot nga. Bahala na. Mag dadala nalang ako ng packed lunch. LOLZ para lang sa 50% off. Sana konti lang pumunta.

1 hour window na nga lang tapos 50 units pa? sobra naman! nakakatakot pumunta, lalo na at me threat sa national security. lol

i already spoke with an LG representative and she confirmed that there will be 50 units available on each lg concept store. WOW. patayan na toh guys. huhu… Sana I will be able to grab one.

Sir Abe, pwede po pa-confirm yung sinabi ni “lurker” na first 50 customers lang?

50 units lang ba talaga?i hope dagdagan pa nila and limit to one customer only.
i hope organize yung sale,wala naman sana mangyaring masama.
sana makakuha ako!maaga talaga ako pupunta sa sm!

Where are the other LG concept Stores located? I only know of one in Megamall.

LMAO!!! A pretty descent phone running froyo for 6.5k??? Lol Good bye HD2! Invest ko nalang ung difference nila in price <3

di kaya may kailangan ka munang ipurchase bago mo maavail yung 50% discount?

bakit hnd nationwide???? sayang, nagbabalak p nman tlga aq bumili ng LG phone..pwede bang isali ang SM baguio?? pls???

Hahaha.. So many speculations.. Basta, if im not able to get one, wouldn’t care anymore to android, will just wait for wm7 phones..

It is very tempting indeed! But I think every store will only have about 100 units or less.

Like what Shopwise did when they post a 1K HP digital camera…wala pang 30 minutes ata yun, ubos na yung stocks nila (kahit you need to buy 2k worth of groceries…) what more about that.

Hmmm malabo atang makakuha ako nyan, pero I will see na lang if they really have a thousand of stocks.

BTW I haven’t use any LG phone in my life.

Will this be my first LG phone?

First impression lasts…I hope if I had a chance to have one, sana hinde ako madismaya…

Nah, I will stick with my Samsung Star (NO WIFI)…

…but then again, time will tell! Hahahaha

ano ang ctach ng 1hr sale? ma-accomodate ba nila lahat ng pupunta? Dapat ginawa nilang for first 50 units – 50% off IMO

alam kaya to ng karamihan sa davao at cebu? magpabili kaya ako doon :))

ohh LG, ur slowly loosing ur pace in dominating the mobile world, better make this event good, or just make sure have enough stocks!!!

Magbabaon ako ng tear gas, sorry guys.

Haha! Joke lang. Katakot, baka meron ngang magdala, ako pa masisi. O_O

I’m sure limited stocks yan. Question would be “how limited?” Baka 50 units lang pala in that hour. Hassle.

Let’s all just hope that the whole event will be organized, so that we can ALL get our hands on the phone at half the price. :)

(Side Note: I’m still hoping for the FroYo update of the SGS to see daylight before Nov 13, so that I won’t find the need to go there.)

Pero just in case, good luck na lang sa ating lahat na nagbabalak sa 13. XD

Sayang may lg store pa naman dito SM Baguio,kaso d naman kasali sa mag sale na LG Store,huhuhu!

Yuga,

Do you have any news about the LG Optimus Chic. When will it be released, how much and will it have the same 50% off promo?

The LG Optimus Chic is basically the same phone except for better looks, 5mp camera and somewhat smaller battery.

Thanks!

@ron

I think the date has been announced by Yuga already.

sir Yuga pwede po ba ang credit card? tsaka aside from the mentioned Malls above saan pa po sila mag-sale?

@Mael, 6k ang tuition mo sa UP? Haha… Pareho tayo. Ibig sabihin last year pa tayo dapat grumaduate. (oops…)

Sa mga nagrere-post nito, wag na kayo mang-gatong, dumadami tuloy kaagaw namin. Haha

nov 14 (sunday) naman ng umaga si pacman

sa dami ng pupunta, baka maubos kaagad ang mga limited optimus one units ng less than 1 hour! Gusto ko rin kumuha! :D

thanks for the update!

Is this confirmed by LG themselves? How reliable is this?

What hour is the sale? At 50% off, that’s a freakin’ giveaway already! It’s a very early Christmas gift from LG to us Android lovers! :)

Naiinis ako! Nakabili ako ng unit last Saturday!

@koki_motok kumpleto naman siya siguro. Kaso pag binuksan mo box may kasamang makapal na manual at screw driver kasi pira-piraso yung phone pag binili mo, kaw mag a-assemble ü

maglalagay din ako ng tent. gagayahin ko si mr. bean, lalagyan ko ng dummy ung tent ko. hehehehe

Sino uunahin ko! si Pacquiao or LG! grrrr XD

Disappointing, no Flash despite Froyo. But with that price and that middling CPU, I guess it’s too much to ask.

I hope I get the chance to take advantage of this one! I wonder what time will they start with the promo? I’ll try going to the mall upon opening! :D

Thanks for this info Abe! Re-blogged it! I’ll be lining up for this one.

lol. sorry na po Marcus at Lyra. hahaha. I was just pulling my cousins’ leg. I ain’t that crazy. Kasing mura lng kasi siya ng tuition ko sa UP kaya naisip ko. lol. haha.

So true, don’t drool over this phone and don’t ever try to skip enrollment for this one. Not worth it. You’d get a better one when you graduate.

Anyway, AFAIK, Pacman’s fight is on November 13 (in the States). So that’s prolly November 14 for us. :)

ready get set go. weeeeeee like the price.

@Marcus: Froyo is available for the Desire. Matagal ng nag-upgrade over the air yung kaopisina ko. At hindi rooted yung unit nya. :)

Mukhang mapapalaban ang mga gustong bumili nito ah. :)

ciao!

haha, natatawa talaga ako while reading comments (lalo na sa mag te-tent sa Megamall, reminds me of Iphone 4 launched in US, literally naging campsite sa labas ng malls where available) Anyway indeed it’s the best offer up to date! Froyo 2.2 isn’t even available on HTC Desire. Now with Legend, even it has same processor, I believe mas mataas ang RAM ng LG cause Legend only has 384 MB.

Hay, buti nalang wala ako sa Pinas, kundi siguradong asa December card statement ko ‘to. Dun sa mga wala pang budget but have card, why not do cash advance? The extra 300-500 fee is worth it after all is it not?! Goodluck guys!!! I hope everyone reading this will have a chance to get one!

ano oras??? ill drop by to megamall, watch na rin ng movie na skyline…!!!

Will wait for the update… Though HTC’s Sense still looks better than this…

Abe! is this the same as the Optimus T?

do they usually allow credit card payments to sales like this?

WOW im planning to buy 2 if pweding card, otherwise isa lang =(

I’m so gonna buy this on Saturday!! Sana naman hindi madami ang tao….

hahaha will try this out.

i badly want one..kaya lang andito ako sa Mindoro kanino kaya pwede magpabili!?!

I’ll surely buy this ONE… omg i’m so excited… sana naman hindi ako maubusan ng stock!

magcacamping na ako!

wooo!!!! Im so buying this one… Ummm make it 4 for my entire family!!!

pwede magpabili? i will get this as my extra phone! sino pwede?

bibili talaga ako nito.sana medyo pahabain pa yung oras ng sale.buti na lang malapit lang samin yung sm megamall!

bibili ako nito..just hope di inconvenient yung oras..hehe i will be checking this article for updates on specific time when the sale will happen..hehe

that 50% off price tag is the killer; P6,496? nice! :D
