LG GT540 Optimus review: Get smart, get started

28 April 2010
We can’t be sure but it does look like LG are still feeling the Android water before taking the plunge. Or they might just be too careful not to cast doubt on long standing commitments. You know, the soon-to-be Windows Phone 7. In any case though, their first Android attempts have enough in them to get us excited...

          Anonymous, 15 Nov 2010Can you give me the link where I can upgrade LG GT540 andro... moreif this Samsung is anything like the Nokia E71 then it sholud be a great browsing experience. Although, I'm rather doubtful that this phone will be making use of AT T's 3G service. Chances are it will be a CDMA phone. Either Verizon, or Sprint. Straight talk very recently partnered with Sprint, so my money's on them.

                  Its a good and reasonably priced phone from Lg, but has its own problems of the screen going blank or freezing at the lg logo when restarting. I've had it for only a month or so but have had to change the screen already, and also the battery....not very good....apart from that its okay.

                            Read the reviews and want to get this phone. The lady at the store suggested on NOT upgrading the OS to the 2.1 from 1.6 due to possible system problems. Has anyone had those problems from the OS upgrade?

                                    Now I must buy this phone because the price is ridiculous,
                                    only 120 euros (£100), think it's the lowest cost
