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...

            LG Fail!
            LG made one big mistake by hosting an event for a 50% off one hour/one day sale in the Philippines. They made the customers wait for 3hrs only to find out that only few customers can avail the promo. I don’t give a damn if they don’t care about the customers but to give them false hope is more than an insult…It’s a crime that needs to be punished. Please don’t buy LG products.

              This phone is good because it is cute when handled. The sound is poor(i can't hear when sum1 is calling)Laggy sumtimes thus i used task killer. I rate this phone 80%

                                  Dear Mark,

                                  Thank you for your email.

                                  Unfortunately it will not be possible to update to a newer version of Android on LG mobile phone.
