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...

      I asked my local LG people and they told me about the upgrade in September too. I really hope they go for 2.2 straight away...

        I hope they skip 2.1 and go for 2.2 instead as it's optimised to use less resources which I think would be better for this phone.

          I wrote LG asking them if LG GT540 will get android 2.1. They said that it will get 2.1 in september. It was the Danish LG who wrote that to me. So if that is true, I'll buy the phone :)

                        This thing looks like a Satio without a camera cover. Especially the black one. lol.

                          Matt, 01 May 2010I'm a little bit confused with the os.... GSMA said that t... moreLG have carried over the 2.1 lock screen to 1.6. Optimus will launch with 1.6 and will be upgradeable to 2.1. It is not limited to 1.6 as GSMArena suggests. Voice dialing is also available with Google Voice Search.

                                  I think this phone is looking like Sony Ericsson W595 series.

                                    GSMA said that this phone running 1.6, but the icons, lockscreen, is just looks like 2.1....
                                    it's confusing... :(

                                    please fix this GSM Arena...

                                      This phone is Fail, only low price can save it.

                                      Only thing they need to do is to take hardware of 'LG GD880 Mini' and install 2.1 Android on it, that would be something awesome.
