LG to Update Optimus Line to Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Dec 9, 2010, 4:15 PM by Eric M. Zeman

LG today issued a statement to clarify its position regarding Android 2.3 Gingerbread. In a message posted to its U.S. web site, LG said, "LG will upgrade all Optimus One smartphones currently using the Froyo OS to the next version of the Android OS, Gingerbread. Details of the upgrade schedule will be announced locally in due course." Each of the major network operators in the U.S. offers an LG Optimus variant. LG made the distinction after a post to its Facebook page confused readers about its intent to update the Optimus devices.

Doesn't really matter either way.

The only significant improvement in 2.3 is the built-in video calling. None of the Optimus phones have front-facing camera so they can't use that anyway.

Other than that there's the upgraded home screen/app-drawer/keyboard, which most hardcore users use a custom one anyway.

Yeah, I agree. Nothing all that exciting in 2.3, just minor refinements.

And lemme guess abt the Transform

So unfair well whatever shld be used to this crap by now. Really dont care that much except for the fact that with all these constant updates 2.3 sounds like the most positive changes. Im sure the Transform will only get 2.2 so I wont hold my breath. I would have got the Optimus if Lg would have at least put a flash on the damn camera! that is a must for me now.
