LG Optimus One

The LG Optimus One has received mixed reviews since it's release four months ago and now it has the opportunity to address them.

When it was first released the Optimus' main attraction was that it made Android 2.2 available on a mid-ranged smart phone at a low price.

Funnily however, most of the criticisms that have been levelled at the p-500 are about Android 2.2 and what LG have done with it; chopping and changing, adding their own tweaks and 'styling'.

The announcement of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) should be seen as an opportunity for LG to tackle and improve some of the poorer areas that have been identified on this phone.

LG gave Optimus owners a shock after initially stating that the upgrade to Android 2.3 would not be made available on their handsets.

Thankfully, they then performed a U-turn within days and announced that the update would be made available.

This news will surely have been much to the delight of many Optimus owners out there who are now eagerly anticipating the release of Android 2.3.
