Looks like a moderate bump in specs.
5 inch screen would be the main reason I would not go for it.
Looks cool but I just don't think I'd want a 5 inch screen phone. My roommate has the DNA and its just an awkward transition from something like our 4.7", to the Note 2. If I was to go 5+, might as well just go bigger and get the full advantages.

The Optimus G Pro (E940) is coming to AT&T.. It just never had an official name before.. That is probably why they dropped the outright price to $450.. If they could fit a 5" screen in the same chassis as the regular Optimus G, I could bite.. Don't want to go any bigger though.

We probably won't see 5.0 until this summer. As for the OG, I'll be very annoyed if they don't get Jelly Bean to us by then! Unfortunately, that's been LG's track record so far.

I don't think so as we didn't actually port ics to rezound we got a leak.
HTC is most likely gonna finish their ics rollout to all their devices before starting jelly bean even though they probably already have the pdk...

It looks like a mix of the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Tab 10.1. The Exynos 5512 (I think that's what it's called) processor is amazing. It's the same processor found in the new Chromebook.
i hope its in the $400 range so i can sell my ipad 2 and contribute towards the proceeds.

That's what I said about Samsung and seeing their iteration of the Nexus (all plastic). Pretty much came to terms with ****ty build quality now (I've been skipping out on all Nexus' since the N1, so can't really wait any longer heh)... I'll give LG a chance. They most likely stepped their game up if Google is considering them for their next flagship device.

Meant in terms of software (didn't they have plenty of driver problems?), can't really comment on its build quality as I've never even seen an Optimus in person. Like I said though, I'm pretty much used to 100% plastic devices with fake metal looking bezels now...

The hardware in LG phones is second to no one.. However their software if behind the rest of the pack. Imo.. also I had an lg phone before and when you flashed new software on it you were unable to roll back to previous versions of android or u will brick your phone. I Apparently this is common with LG.. I am hoping that this phone is as kick ass as its hyped to be but I have my doubts

I wouldn't be jealous. I gave Touchwiz an honest try and just don't like it. A lot of what Samsung does is kind of redundant to everything Android already does. I wouldn't even want to use JB on this phone. This UI 3.0 really doesn't offer ANYTHING unique besides Quickmemo, which is something that can just be added on to an AOSP build.

While I can't say I disagree with what you say here about the UI... I would REALLY miss the dewdrop lockscreen on an AOSP build.
I really like AOSP, but I far from hate the latest Optimus UI... which I rarely say about manufacturer UIs.
To each their own though... I wonder how fast JB would be on this baby.
I'm assuming you wouldn't mind an AOSP JB build?

That's too big. I have a 7" tablet and I couldn't imagine lugging it around all the time or talking/texting on it. Plus I have to have an otterbox defender on everything I own and it would be crazy huge.
They should make a 5.5" phone and the normal 7/8.? & 10 inch tablets.

I thought that will be the only difference. Samsung is rumored to come out with a unbreakable phone soon.....maybe the S3.

The 5.5" screen is way too big for me. However I like the other changes they made with it (like the faster processor, better battery, etc). The higher PPI doesn't bother me too much, I can't see the pixels in this display anyways.
I heard that its supposed to compete with Note 2 not the S3 because of the 5.5 inch display, But I cant stand a screen that size,If that was the case i wouldve purchased the note 2
Meh I've heard about it but, I'm locked in contract for 2 years and don't want a bigger phone.

The Pro is a Note 2 competitor, not an s3 competitor. The s4 will likely combine the note and the s series, according to rumor, but the Pro and OG will still be viable. IMHO, anything beyond 5" is too big. And anything below 4.3 is too small.
