Android version

Hello. Is there a way to determine which version of Android I will be getting by the info on the retail box?

 

I went to a few retailers to ask a few questions about the Optimus V and they shrugged their shoulders with a "I dunno."

I asked what version of Android came with the phone. They said it was either 2.1 or 2.2. I asked if version 2.1 could be upgraded to 2.2. They didn't know. Does anyone know if it can be upgraded?

I also asked if I can use the phone without buying a service plan. I was just going to use it with the wifi in my house. They didn't know. Does anyone know if I can use wifi and not pay for service?

Thanks.

 

I found this site by google the phone.

If anyone happens to know if the Optimus V can be used WITHOUT a plan or activation (just using the wifi at my house) please let me know.

I don't need it for calling or texting. I just want to try it for gps and apps and the camera.

thanks.
