We have 2.3.3 update in Romania on Optimus One for over 1 month now. But I don't thrust LG at all. I had 2 phones made by LG and every time I had issues with them. LG never fixed the phones and I couldn't get any type of help. With all other phones I owned so far I never had the same issues as with LG products and they're VERY POOR customer care :( .

    I dont trust LG nowadays bcos they failed to keep their promise for Op1 update to Android 2.3.3. Till today they have not rolled out anything and not to mention that they again undertook the next public statement of such Customer Care.....rubbish.

      All Android phones, regardless of make, should become independent from Windows PC. FOTA is the solution.

      Well done LG! Cheers!

            Their Customer service here in the netherlands is quite awesome.

            Here you get a free VIP service from LG.
            If there is a problem with your phone you just have to contact them via canyouhandlethespeed.nl and within 24 hour's there is a courier that brings you a brand new phone and picks up the broken phone.

            No repairs nothing.. you get a new phone right away.

            Also there have been regular updates.

              this is really awesome! so the next time my g2x is stuck in a rebooting loop or stops responding to all commands, i can just call the lg from that device and have them take care of it.....right?.... =] why not invest the money into building decent software in first place, LG?...the stability of that half-assed g2x gingerbread is disappointing to say the least...

                I hope gingerbread was out here in the Philippines for O1.. Would this OTA updates cover our beloved Optimus One?

                      What about an Optimus ONE bought with a plan? (In my case, Orange France though I'm with a different carrier, bought it second hand)

                      Thanks

                        Better customer care? Don't hold your breath. Care and support are lacking with pretty much all their products. They are a "give us your money, now don't let the door hit you in the pants" kind of company.
