i have the 2.1 system on now but i’m wishing to update it to 2.2 soon as i’ve been waiting for 7months now. So when does 2.2 will be released for this phone? or even, is it even possible for this phone to be upgraded to 2.2 or 2.3 or even 3.0?

Update: yes, there is a way. Just update your system with the system LG provides. Actually brand new phones (since october at least) comes with Android 2.x. Mine came with Froyo 2.2, a great OS. I’m just unable to send music via bluetooth…

Can we please have a 2.1 or 2.2 update for this phone in the UK? Your other LG countries have officially stated that 2.1 will be out in September this month, so why not LG UK?? If you look on Youtube under MForumRu channel (in Russian), the Lg Optimus has been updated to 2.1 (watch Youtube title- LG GT540 Optimus. Экран. 5) so it is capable of being updated!

Roll out the LG UK updates please!

The Optimus is very new to the market, so an upgrade is certainly feasible in the future. It was released with 1.6 as it is an entry level smartphone, as the price indicates.

The Lg Optimus looks like a great phone and I also hope it gets the 2.2 Android update very soon because 3.00 is coming , making this phone (1.6) outdated already! HTC have already announced 2.2 updates on all their phones released for 2010; Sony have also announced 2.1 and other update too! LG announces nothing!! If LG can't be bothered to support their phones, their will lose out on customers/marketshare. What is the point of buying an LG phone knowing that the company are not going to even give their customers updates, but other companies are updating theirs. Im willing to take my money and wait for the new Sony Ericsson X8 (almost same specs as LG Optimus, but with Android 2.1, a capacitive screen and video recording of 30fps) or get HTC with 2.2! LG you've got competition!

There is no way to upgrade the OS on the Optimus. There is potential for a future upgrade, but the phone is so new to be released there is no official word on this yet

I do wish to buy the LG Optimus smartphone as the features are amazing – but I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade to Android 2.2 operating system on this smartphone — is there?

Google Goggles is available on 1.6 upwards, which obviously covers the Optimus. By upgrade it must mean that receiving Google Goggles as an upgrade will happen as an auto upgrade once the app has been released.

Thanks very much LGblog!

What I don't get is, if you say that it is impossible to tell if there will be an upgrade for the Optimus, then why the TV add states "Google Goggles available with "free upgrade" from August 2010. I and other potential customers would assume that there will be or there is an upgrade together with Google Goggles from August - can you please clarify on this?

If on ther other hand, there will be no upgrades for the time being or none at all, why did LG make this statement in the UK ad?

I think you have a great phone that will attract a lot potential customers in this market, and not everyone can afford an Iphone or the new Samsung S, which costs hundreds of pounds, but if it the Optimus can not be upgraded, it will be just like the LG GW620 - not worth buying!!!

I really want to a buy this phone which will last me a long time, but I can't afford to waste money only to find out the Optimus has an out-dated Android OS which can't be updated and lasts only for a few months!

Both Flash and the ability to save apps to a microSD are down to having the latest version of Android – 2.2. Currently the Optimus runs with 1.6, 2 versions behind 2.2. As the Optimus is so new to the market it is impossible to tell if their will be an upgrade for a few months i imagine

indeed this is true! the Google goggles app is available for download now!

By the way, I've seen the adverts for this phone and it mentions that “Google Goggles available with free upgrade from August 2010″ (UK TV Ad)!

I'm thinking of buying this phone, but I want to know what Android os will it be upgraded to, and will it include flash? Also, will I be able to download the apps to the Micro SD card?

Fingers crossed it gets the Android 2.2 update, as then it will be Flash 10.1 compatible!!

The lack of flash is the only thing that stops me loving this phone.

I wonder how fast is the processor on this phone as I can't find any information on it? Also how good is the video playback of DivX and XviD files?

Well, the screen is a tad on the small side, making it hard to type on.
Otherwise I'm quite happy with it and fingers crossed that update to a newer version of android will come true. It's something LG can do to get one up on Samsung at least

It's a bit soon to consider upgades on the Optimus, which is a brand new phone for LG. However there may be scope for this in the future. We will certainly share the news the second we hear more on this…
