Why is this ridiculous? LG and Virgin Mobile have no obligation to update our phones to Gingerbread. That isn't an issue of support, it's an upgrade. Our phones were designed before GB was released, therefore we aren't entitled to the upgrade. If they decide to release an update for us, it's because their being nice, not because they automatically have to. And yes, I do think we'll get it, if we are patient. If you don't want to wait, then root your phone like I did. If you don't want to root, then wait. LG and VM aren't on these boards, griping about it here won't make any difference.
Uh, ever play with a Motorola Citrus? That craptastic lump of polypropelene, silicon, and hatred makes my wifes Intercept look like a Galaxy IIs!Never say never, Andy. People said the exact same thing about the Intercept getting updated. Granted it wasn't to the latest version, but it did indeed get an update. And that's the biggest piece of crap android that they have, so I wouldn't discount the OpV for an update.
I'm still not doing it until my warranty is up, if ever.
I hear ya about the money...I was half joking when I said I probably wouldn't have my V by mid-2012, only 'cause the thing is pissing me off so much the last few days it's taken all my resolve not to throw it against the wall.
It's not that I'm not a fan of rooting; just a fan of whatever works for each person, and up til now not rooting has worked really well for me. I'm starting to rethink that, maybe (see above, lol). Now don't everyone start bugging me at once.
