i'll try to answer your questions guys. First, the OB comes with stock Android 2.2 Froyo. Official Gingerbread 2.3.4 update is available via LG update. Just google it for step by step guide. (No ICS Update available!) In my experience, the gingerbread update fixed battery issues. My stock OB used to last 6 hours max. With GB it's almost 2 days. Second, for rooting guide please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJIV8F2SwTo. Make sure you follow the steps. There is a danger of bricking your phone. Update all drivers via LG Mobile Update. You need to have smartflash, superuser, LG P970 Rom Converter and a couple of patched files. After you root your OB, you can now install custom ROMs from CyanogenMod or NoaV4. There is still no stable Custom ICS like CM9 for our OB. You can try install nightly build CM9 Roms. But i switched back to a custom GB 2.3 Rom from NOA V.4

The optimus black got an excellent screen, but there are other things I have to state here, its edges are sharp and uncomfortable, the volume and g keys are not easy to find they need to be higher.
The browser is excellent. If you upgrade to 2.3 gingerbread the touch key light will turn off in 4 seconds which is very annoying to me. The loud speaker in handsfree sound very robotic. The battery is average.

Adi, 22 Sep 2012because of the poor lg support, my next smartphone will be ... morePurpose of a cellphone is to make or receive calls not having the thrill of updating the software. Why do people always so crazy about updating the software is beyond my understanding. If it aint broken, dont fix it.

i have been using this phone for a month now. at first, the stock OB (with Froyo) is quite slow and the battery is really terrible. But once you update it to official 2.3 Gingerbread, everything seems to be fine. I already rooted my OB so I tried installing custom ICS ROMS from Cyanogen Mod. But the camera was affected. I installed NOA v4 which is a custom android 2.3 but very much similar to the official 2.3 with slight tweaks. Since then, my OB performs even better. No more lagging and the battery reaches almost 2 days without charging (i seldom play with my phone).
Optimus OB almost has everything except the power of dual and quad core processors and it only has 512MB of RAM. Recommended phone for the average users.
(Just be careful in rooting and installing custom roms. You might brick your phone aside from the fact that you lose your warranty).
hope this helps.
