Gingerbread update for LG's Optimus line is ready to be unleashed in Europe

Indeed, it’s a long time in the making, but in any event, the long awaited Gingerbread software update is about to start rolling out to LG’s top-shelf Android smartphones, which includes the LG Optimus 2x, 3D, and Black.

For a while there, some were scratching their heads wondering when the day would finally arrive, but thankfully enough, LG managed to spill the beans on its roll out through its Facebook page. Specifically, details regarding the European rollout mention that we’ll see the update rolling out to the LG Optimus 2x as quickly as November 1st. Meanwhile, the LG Optimus 3D is expected to get its tasty treat beginning on November 21st – with the LG Optimus Black getting its turn on November 28th.

However, it’s worth noting that the update is specifically targeting unlocked and unbranded versions of the “three premium smartphones.” So if you happen to be sporting one that has your carrier’s name on it, expect to wait a tad bit longer seeing they’ll need to perform their usual quality checks to ensure it’s good to go.

Without a doubt, European owners are going to be ecstatic about all of this, but it’ll be interesting to see when we’ll see their US counterparts getting in on all of the action.
