LG has announced that the Optimus T will begin Android Gingerbread 2.3 updates in December but I am not holding my breath since the phone has been out for a year awaiting a long overdue update. The LG Optimus T is a great little phone but the slowness from LG to get it up to date with the new Android 2.3 is a real buzzkill.
T Mobile is not the best at making sure their phones are updated nor have they done a good job answering their own support forums. In fact many T-Mobile support questions simply sit unanswered.
According to the LG Announcements for Singapore and the UK they are beginning to roll-out the updates by the end of December. Their official announcement is:
11/04/2011
"LG Optimus Series Android 2.3 Gingerbread Upgrade Available in Europe
LG Electronics Singapore would like to express our sincere thanks to all the Optimus Series owners who have been waiting patiently for the Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade for their smartphones.
Due to varying markets requirements, we are presently working with local telecom companies to ensure that the upgrade available in Singapore will deliver the best experience on your Optimus smartphone.
As such, we seek your understanding and a little more patience as we take all possible measures to deliver this upgrade to you in December. "
So where does that leave the US? Only time will tell. Still waiting on a support reply from LG. You can check the T-Mobile support link below too.
