                Hi friends, I've updated my LG-P500 phone last night following the instructions shown here - http://www.lg.com/sg/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp

                But after updating, it's showing that the android version has been updated to 2.2.1 but not 2.3 :(

                Does anyone have idea on how to update it to android 2.3?

                              i don't think we can get the 2.3 or any further versions for LGP500,
                              LG P500 is a demo only, what they can give the maximam that is what we have now,

                                      LG has succumbed and agreed to LG Op1 P500 supporters' pressure for upgrade to OS A2.3 Gingerbread finally. LG is still optimistic about its users and its future potential share of the market. Please see the report below for more info.
