We have played with this phone and think its a good phone for most Android fans. If you are one of those that want to root your LG Optimus 2X we have the method below.

Root Instructions:

  1. Download the latest SuperOneClick.zip file to your Windows computer (download link – download no longer available on this site, see the note below)

I have been interested in Android from the moment the first devices were released. I love the fact that it's such a widely accepted mobile OS and that I can be a large part of the community as a whole.
