          The question is, what People are expecting from an ICS Update ?

          An other revision of the os won't resolve lagging problems.

          95% can't tell a Sony ICS from gingerbread. Same with Samsung and htc.
          If you want a different looking phone, install a different launcher with some themes an you'll see more difference.
          There are no new features that anyone needs. 1000x more great apps are in the playstore.

          And yes, I can't wait to get ICS for my 2x, but I know, that I'll be disappointed as soon as I'll get it.

            LG you are good at Wasing machines & refrigerators please stick to that!!
            you think you can make the consumers dance around your campfire you can dream as long as the eyes stay closed.
            Now you have the technology as you are the ones who will always innovate like Optimus 3D...but then you desert us high & dry!!

              We have been waiting a lot for Gigerbread and the ICS update is pushed back to Q3...never LG again... Beside all the problems (software and hardware) with LG Optimus 2x they can't keep their promises.

              Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

                I just think that LG is incompetent, lack of professionalism, lack of support, etc. Anyway ... 2.3.4 is the most stable version of Android for LG-P990 but still with unfixed issues. I think LG should try to do something else than smartphones. I'm very disappointed and I will NEVER buy an LG product in my life, also I will try to convince all my friends about this decision.

                  this information was posted on lg mobile support page earlier this year - http://www.lg.com/ru/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp :

                  Firmware Update for Smartphone LG Optimus [10.02.2012]

                  In 2012, the firmware Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be available for all models of its flagship smartphone LG Optimus 2011.

                  We are glad to report - we had guidelines on terms of release firmware for different models, as well as an accurate list of smartphones, which will be available to upgrade to the ICS, among them:
                  Smartphone PRADA by LG 3.0 - will upgrade to ICS in the second quarter of 2012.
                  LG Optimus 2X - will upgrade to the ICS in the third quarter of 2012.
                  LG Optimus Black - will upgrade to the ICS in the third quarter of 2012.
                  LG Optimus 3D - will upgrade to the ICS in the third quarter of 2012.
                  LG Optimus Sol - will upgrade to the ICS in the third quarter of 2012.

                  We take all reasonable steps to update all out in a timely manner and the transition to the new firmware was most effective and simple. The exact dates will be installed updates for each country (above you see the preliminary timings for the CIS countries), depending on local requirements, smartphones and logistics.

                  More information about updates to the operating system ICS, including the exact release date firmware for each model, to be published in the pages of our accounts in social networks.

                    I'll probably sell my LG Optimus Black and just get the ONE X with ICS straight out the box, before they even release ICS for my phone

                        Last 2 weeks i sent my Optimus2xPlus to NEX LG service center for a OS reload. According to the technician, the bloatwares like IDEAS singtel rubbish apps can't be removed at all even they are going to do a firmware upgrade. But once they upgraded it to v20e, i back home and did a Firmware Update to v20e thru the LG Updater program on that night also. Surprisingly all the SingtelApps gone. What the heck of Staff you got hired?

                          company have good service support update would gain good feedback even if their products isn't any better than other bigger brand... customers getting bored of the UI and the lag of the OS, this is why they get a smartphone for, okay!

                                    This is just an overexposed thing..

                                    LG just said that ICS will be available on Q3.. They didn't say anything about delay.. Maybe what they mean is ICS will be available the latest on Q3. Most of all it's just a regional LG page, not an international one. The regional LG could get a wrong info (check the statement "O2x won't get ICS" from before)..

                                    Shame on you Mr. News Writer.. You overexposed everything..

                                      Hawkstar., 11 May 2012Oh well, I'd expect the majority of 2x users not to be both... moreokay you are happy to gingerbread firmware. but we have an individual differences and the majority are happy to ICS. the best way were going to do just switch to other brand that operating system is android like Samsung or HTC. For all LG's developer just continue to make TV, Refrigerator and etc. not mobile phones.
