After quite the outrage over their made up 1GHz processor requirement being the reason the Optimus series will not see Gingerbread, LG has retracted their statement and now have committed to bring Gingerbread to the entry level devices.

The outrage, which took place on the company’s Facebook page, first stated that we will not be seeing the update for the devices, after customers called the company out they retracted their statements and now we know the devices will, in fact, be getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

All of the LG Optimus models (Vortex, Optimus T, Optimus S, Optimus M, and Optimus U) will be getting Gingerbread.

  1. what i’m wondering is WHEN is this update coming out and how i can get it and why would they take back something they had clearly stated before

    • i called virgin mobile to see if we are getting the upgrade and they told me that they will send us a message when the upgrade is available …. so most likely we are getting the upgrade as well

  2.  LG Optimus orginally has 600MHz CPU installed for Froyo. For Gingerbread to work on it optimally I don’t think that 600Mhz can handle smoothly. CMIIW. Just my thought.
