        Right, I didn't see the drop down menu, thanks

    • Ronnnie on 29/04/2014 - 23:07

      Yeah comes to $444.00 with shipping for me, Eglobal comes to $441 with shipping, but if you can save shipping this deal is better than Eglobal. That being said you still probably better buying local stock if that $50 cashback is still going and you can haggle a good price in store.

  • Callison on 29/04/2014 - 23:29

    16GB Nexus 5 is $399 with $20 shipping. This is great!

        Network Band 4G/LTE 1800

        so LTE even for telstra… nice…

        the only deal breaker:
        Expandable Memory No
        why is this better than a nexus? its only 20 bux cheaper than the n5 32GB - but has a slower core, no kitkat out of the box and probably wont get updates as quick no?

        if it had expandable storage id be all over it…

        • 11112007 on 30/04/2014 - 09:38

          It does have LTE.

          Nexus 5 32GB is $449 + $20 shipping from play store. So $40 more for what most regard as lesser specs, especially camera and battery.

        • Ronnnie on 30/04/2014 - 16:11
          +2

          Yeah I'd rather this over a nexus 5 since its cheaper and I would be willing to put up with the minor inconvenience of rooting and installing a custom rom.

          Yeah and the specs are better on the G2, but my feeling is, it won't be too long till n5 drops $100. Well one can hope, but until then, the G2 is the way to go. :)

          Other options in near future could also be the oneplus one, but then that could be a pipe dream too. :P

        • Agret on 01/05/2014 - 00:11

          G2 has a better camera than the N5. OnePlus One would be a dream but Australia is not even part of the initial shipment and to get into that limited shipment you need an invite into the secret society so two strikes against us =(

  • ash2000 on 29/04/2014 - 23:55

    Great phone….had mine for 5 months now, needless to say I paid much more than $429! Amazingly fast, with unbelievable screen…..much better than OLED screen from samsung (been there, done that!)

    Bought one last week from The Good Guys.

    Best phone ever.

    Upgraded from iPhone 5. Got a new iPhone 5 under warranty. Sold that to some sucker for $650.
    Spent $510 - $50 - $50 - $50 = $360 for a 32GB G2.

    • Temporary username on 30/04/2014 - 02:52

      how to get 150 discount?
      you so lucky for sold the phone for $650 , i just sold one refurbish from apple for $440 only, 16 gb

      • Windows7forever on 30/04/2014 - 04:59

        His iPhone was brand new hence why he got top dollar for it.

    • edrift on 30/04/2014 - 10:26

      which good guys did you buy from? I assume you got the 32gb model for $510?

      where did the extra $50 discount come from? I assume you got the amex 50, LG 50 but not sure what that additional $50 is.

  • tsunamisurfer on 30/04/2014 - 00:22

      Yes

    • blitz on 30/04/2014 - 10:28

      And how. I sometimes forget to charge mine, and use it a lot. Best phone ever.

    • Agret on 01/05/2014 - 00:12

      Nexus 5 is sadly lacking in battery, only lasts a day or less with brightness all the way down. They are supposedly fixing a battery drain issue caused by the camera continually drawing power even when it's turned off in the next update which is imminent though.

  • zan5hin on 30/04/2014 - 00:25

    There is a coupon code for an extra $10 discount: BAE2013

    Why buy this when you can price match TGG with Allphone's $499 price + $50 cash back from LG? Australian Stock, B&M store warranty vs Grey import…

    If you choose to risk dealing with DWI be sure to use either paypal or credit card, NEVER bank transfer because if you end up needing a refund they won't be very forthcoming with it.

    I was promised a refund "Today" for weeks, and when I finally resorted to escalating a paypal claim they had the hide to tell paypal they hadnt received the phone back from me. Fortunately I had an earlier email from them stating that they had.

    Try ur luck at JB HiFi - I paid $510 for a 32GB model.
    It comes with 2 years local warranty plus bonus smart cover (at least for white variant)

    Paid $510
    Minus $50 LG cashback
    Minus ~$46 from TRS
    Minus $40 JB bonus gift cards from MC promotion & coke rewards
    Minus $17.50 from ING cashback

    So eventually it cost me approx $356.5 for a local stock.
    Thank You OZB :)

    • WhyAmICommenting on 30/04/2014 - 07:41

      they let you make 4 or 5 credit card payments?

      • Bappy on 30/04/2014 - 07:54

        Yes - I asked nicely :)

        4 ING transactions + 3 counts of gift card = total 7 split transactions

      Nice work Bappy, any chance of you being able to upload the receipt showing the price of $510? I wouldn't mind trying this at my local JB.

        Hi Bernie_G
        Sorry my invoice is so long that I can't fit the whole in my scanner (7 split payments)

        However I used the below invoice to price match. It was uploaded by lachyzee in the previous G2 post (thanks heaps lachyzee)

    Good guys (rockdale) won't price match our beat JB so best try your luck at JB instead

    • Bappy on 30/04/2014 - 08:00

      You are right - I tried various Good Guys to maximise the AMEX offer - but failed :(
      And the first JB I tried - it worked
      Plus all the Good Guys I checked, they didn't had paypass option… so no ING cashback

      JB - You've done it again :P

  • bizi on 30/04/2014 - 08:18

    I missed out on the Amex registration deal, so am interested in the LG G2 in Sydney, then get the $50 LG gift/debit card.

    Is $510 the best negotiated 32Gb G2 price right now? Should I check here or on WP forums for the latest info?

    Thanks!

    I'd prefer to get the cashback and have local warranty, but this deal is OK if you cant get the same price locally, I guess - but it's not much difference at all; $460 ($510-$50 gift card) v $440 grey import delivered.

    [Edited since I'm after the 32Gb not the 16Gb model: surely the extra space is worth it for most people]

  • RtN on 30/04/2014 - 08:58

    A day after a full charge + Kit Kat, 38 hour total battery time and 4.5 hours screen time, 7%. Pretty good.

    Kit Kat 4.4.2 was pushed out OTA to unlocked LG G2 devices just last night…

    Definitely a worthwhile device.

      Yes but don't update it unless you don't mind the headphone hiss issue! This bug was introduced with the update.

      • Jaytsukasa on 30/04/2014 - 20:27

        That's the problem, I thought there was something wrong with my headphone with the hiss noise after the update.:(

        • [Deactivated] on 01/05/2014 - 09:17

          No issues with my bluetooth headset here and Kitkat.

  • lovepub on 30/04/2014 - 09:51

    great price. I only just paid $550 at Jbhifi for a 32GB.

    I'm a fan of LG phones, and I've had the 4X, G, and now G Pro.

    In my opinion, you can't beat the screens for natural colour (I'm a graphic designer and photographer) and the processor/ram in the G Pro never skip a beat, it's a truly fast phone.

    They're available on Aliexpress for around US$260 these days if you're in the market for an excellent 5.5" 1080p phone. The G Pro F240 is the Korean model but the 4G bands work fine here (I'm on Vodafone in Sydney).

    I have an excellent Kit Kat custom rom on my phone, and can easily get two full days. Plus, the Korean models come with a second battery too.

    Couldn't be happier, and at these prices I think it's pretty hard to beat if you don't mind flashing roms and skipping local warranty.

    • angelkulit025 on 30/04/2014 - 12:20

      what rom are you using?

      • xdirex on 30/04/2014 - 12:35

        It's a little old now but I think it is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462453

        Kit Kat was released officially by LG a little while ago, so there are now lots of new custom roms - stock variants as well as CM11.

        I've been running mine for about 4 months now as the battery life was like nothing I've ever seen before on an Android phone. Super fast and silky smooth.

        I'm sure there are newer better ones around now, but I haven't looked lately as this has been perfect for my needs and I have the Android/Nexus feel.

      Also worth mentioning you can stick a 64Gb card in this phone for around $50 and you've got 96Gb storage and a massive screen to enjoy it on.

      Why is the F240 so much cheaper with pretty similar specs except with a bigger screen and an sd card expansion slot?

      • matabuntu on 30/04/2014 - 16:03

        Maybe this:

        Item Condition: Refurbished

        • xdirex on 30/04/2014 - 16:51

          Hmmm, must admit I didnt see that part. Seems most are labeled as refurb but some in the $330 range arent…

        • johnjones8 on 30/04/2014 - 20:09

          Well was actually looking at the USD$299 listing since that one is in new condition, but yeah also noticed that it has a lower clocked quad core and the 5.5" is probably a bit big for most people vs 5.2". But in the end it's only about ~$130 cheaper than the G2 so not as puzzling as I thought.

  • scud70 on 30/04/2014 - 13:33

    Good price.. :) just remember 2% paypal/credit card surcharge.

    I used to dislike LG phone, however with LG G2, despite the fact that I have used so many other flagship android phone (htc one & Samsung galaxy s4 & galaxy note 2 & 3) and iPhone 5, considering price and everything else, I can say from my opinion, this is THE BEST smart phone I have ever used and g2 is probably the most underrated phone.

    My previous phone is htc one (m7) and I thought that phone packed with abundant power and speed for a non gaming user like myself. However, with this G2, everything just runs biblical fast.

    The battery life is absolutely epic. I had a galaxy note 2 once and I know what a good long lasting battery life was like. However, this phone's battery life is even far better than that. Especially after the kitkat update, after 6 hours of light usage with music playing for 3 hours straight, I still get 80% left! This is the first smart phone I am comfortable with not charging it overnight.

    At this price, it's absolutely bargain…

  • Snoopy113 on 30/04/2014 - 19:43
