Wonder if the g2x update may be getting delayed as well.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/06/10/did-lg-delay-gingerbread-on-the-scandinavian-optimus-2x/
Geez I hope this isn't the case! WTF LG?
I would not be surprised - given LG's decision to release it with froyo on it to begin with. If it is the fall - that is when 2.4 is supposed to come out. That one would be worth the wait - but that long of a delay for 2.3 is ridiculous. That would definitely establish that LG is NOT ready for prime-time in this market.
If 2.3 is delayed, it would be helpful if TMo would make that public. The dev's could then focus on their current ROM's and kernels and not hold up waiting for a phantom OTA to be released.
Might even see some more development of kernels for froyo if this is the case. I am currently back on froyo (and faux kernel) after trying versions of the leaked GB with and without kernels.
May have to give Nightly CM7 a try at some point. I was on RC's and Nightlies on my Mt4G before I made the switch.
G2X
I was told yesterday by T-Mobile tech support that the G2X has been pulled. They are going to replace mine with the HTC Sensation.

I actually heard from my nieghbor who is in upper mgmt at tmo, that tmo isn't going to release gingerbread and that next month they will announced the coming merger with at&t. He also said it will most likely mean the end of any contracts with tmo and every one will be forced to switch to a new contract with at&t. This is coming from upper management at tmo. He said this wont be made public or released to any media until it actually happens so people don't run to vrz or spent. Guessed he leaked it to me he don't know I'm on xda...

WHAT!? well i'm fine with that as long as i have the option to say no to at&t without being penalized with cancellation fees. guess i should check out the Photon that just came out on sprint....
Like he said, it hasn't been approved. The FCC (FTC? I don't know) just sent out questionaires to the other carriers concerning the merger. So I call BS!
But I'll have to agree that this definately looks like the GB update won't happen "by summer". What a pitiful mess this phone is.
When I called yesterday,I was not told I could get anything but the G2 which I found astounding last years model???...."We don't have anything compatable" "What about the Sensation"? " That's our premier phone" "I thought the G2X was? "Well whatever is the newest is our premier phone""Well I want a Sensation""Can't have one"
It was later when I said I was willing to pay for the Sensation that it was offered to me with a updated contract at the"contract price"
So if they offer you a Sensation jump on it.

Not to freak anyone out but there's a "right to assignment" clause in your T-Mobile contract. In essence it gives them the right to assign your contract to any and all successors to T-Mobile. The only legal out you'd have is if AT&T changed the terms and conditions of your service. AT&T may choose not to enforce it, and make people stay against their will, but its certainly within their legal right.

You really think they'll let you out of the contract? They surely will. If you pay them for the privilege.

if you believe that, i feel sorry for you.
The O2X doesn't run stock Android, so I can imagine an update taking longer for that phone.
i certainly don't but i'd like to pretend.... but i've arranged to get a sensation for free as an exchange. just waiting for the 15th for tmobile to send me mine.
Love these guys with there bogus claims.
Buddy, I was with Tmobile today in our store. The merger is not approved and is not expected to get a ruling for at least 3 more months min. Also it was clearly stated on the Tmobile press release and part of the merger details that ALL timobile contracts will be honored fully and NOT CHANGED for the duration of the Tmobile customers contract and can also be grandfathered and kept by the Tmo customer for as long as they are a customer. So if you have a Unlimited 59.oo plan per say with data at 30.00 You can keep it forever if you choose.
As for the G2x. It has not been deleted from Tmobile as after very slow opening sales. It is now there number 2 selling phone behind the current touch model. It is out of stock for now and will be replenished when it gets back. Stores and subcontract locations are still selling and getting stock.
I love 1 post wonders with bogus information.
I found these pics from E3. In one of the photos at the very bottom it looks like the G2x is indeed running Gingerbread. Take a look and see what you guys think:

wasnt expecting to stay with tmobile more than a year since i know the merger is already bought and paid for with the fcc. but tmobile has seriously disapointed me, they are nothing now like everything i have read and the people i talked to. must already be ATTMobile.

I will be headed for Verizon as soon as the ATT merger goes through but right now there is no point since in my area T-Mobile has the fastest data speeds by a long shot and the cheapest pricing as I am on a loyalty plan. That said, it is hit or miss with T-Mobile but if I don't get my way with customer service, I just keep calling back. I mean, I really can't think of any other provider that would have gave me a free Sensation and let me keep my G2X while still remaining contract free. Can you?

The Vibrant gave me GPS issues constantly... I guess this was a bigger issue for me since I was travelling a lot at the time. The GPS issues were widespread and poorly handled by Samsung in my opinion, also didn't like how they dropped the Vibrant and replaced it with a clone with a FFC under the disguise of Galaxy S 4G.
The final straw was once I started to notice my notification bar clock burning into the screen (along with some of the constantly displayed icons). I bailed before the problems got worse and argued with T-Mo till they at least gave me a free upgrade.

I'll never say "I'll never buy from "X" place" again. You aren't going to make a liar out of me. Samsung botched the vibrant (and a few others) and I along with nearly everyone else is drooling over the gs2. With this many different devices with different hardware and software variants, some are bound to be lemons. What I'd really wish t-mobile(and other carriers) would do is offer to reset phone upgrades for people with specific devices that have well known and documented issues. My old vibrant, for instance... everytime I call to complain about the gps issue, EVERY csr tells me this is a known issue and sends me a replacement. I've swapped it out 6 times in 9 months and even asked for a different phone of equal value and been shot down, as recent as 2 weeks ago. I don't want a free phone, I just want to be able to spend ANOTHER $200 on a "high-end" phone that works.

I started this thread and never once did I say I wouldn't buy another LG. When the behold II debacle hit, I never said I wouldn't buy a Samsung. This thread was simply starting the obvious. LG is now screwing its customers over just like Samsung used to. But yea. I don't believe for one second half these people will never buy LG again because as soon as the Nexus 3 hits, there is going to be a mass exodus of LG users. You also see how far boycotting samsung got you. No where. They now make some of the best devices out and have no problem selling them.

Well, no carrier stocked the Nexus One in their stores either (US).
When Google set out with the Nexus S they got away from distributing the phones themselves and needed someone with a distribution network in place. They partnered with Best Buy in the US and Car Phone Warehouse abroad to accomplish this. Part of the agreement was that it remained an exclusive device (for obvious reasons).
This gave them not only an established distribution network, but also a partner who could advertise to a broad customer base and get a hands on experience with the device. Every Best Buy had a Nexus S on display and they pushed it for the holiday season (Dec 16th release). This potentially drew in customers from other mobile networks who handled the device as well as gave existing mobile subscribers the chance to get a "hands on" with the device before purchasing. This was a huge step forward.
If you want to blame someone for not having it on AT&T's site, blame AT&T. They are the only ones who control that content. Best Buy has it listed for new lines as well as upgrades.
Gustavo: For the moment no I am afraid. That would actually be up to the carrier, they call the shows on updates. You see; software comes from Google but it has all carrier specifications and restrictions and service actually come from the carrier. LG’s role was to develop the phone hardware for the carriers to place their software into and offer the service. Basically what I mean to say is that if you would be interested in finding out information related to software, service or even SIM card related question for GSM type phones, I suggest contacting the carrier since they are responsible for that part of the phone and should have more concrete information to be able to help out with this situation in particular.
Gustavo: I am always happy to help out as best I can with situations in general, but I am unfortunately only limited to the information we have for the hardware specifications and what we can find in the Owner’s manual, in our system and from experience. I honestly do apologize for the inconvenience if there is any. Hopefully you now have a better picture of how LG operates regarding the software vs hardware.
copy and paste when i asked through a chat if there is going to be any type of update coming soon
Incoming people who say we will get the update cause the O2X is.
Then the people who say that it's not the same and won't.
Now that T-Mobile has officially declared the G2X EOL (end of life) there will be no more updates for it. They most likely did this because they did not want to pay LG for the ICS update. Major carriers like TMO have to pay per phone for major updates, which is what a jump to ICS would be. TMO most likely decided the millions of dollars they would have to pay LG for ICS was not worth it to them and decided to F..K over their customers. G2X will not be getting official ICS, but the LG unbranded 2X devices will be. It is up to each carrier whether they want to go ahead with an update or not. The Canadian carriers left their customers on Froyo opting to not even pay for the jump to GB.

Lol... LG stopped production on their flagship device? No. A lot of cell companies are out of the G2 bc of holiday sales. I had to track down a white one for Verizon and it took awhile. Best bet is to either order it online from AT&T or Amazon. Store restocks can take a while.
He said its for work. So has to be a corporate store. I have a Verizon G2 for work and only a corporate store can upgrade a line on a corporate account.
Perhaps call and order over the phone. They should be able to activate the sim and ship you a new phone next day.

Simple. No gimmicks, no tricks.
It's finally in stock on AT&T's website. I placed an order and should arrive sometime next week.
I still find it weird that it was sold out online and in all AT&T stores. I tried placing an order over the phone too and got the same out of stock. The AT&T rep even tried calling local stores in my area and was also told out of stock.

Could be just catching people's attention maybe? Just picked one up, and let's just say my HTC One is getting a bit jealous, lol. I never even heard of this phone until a couple of weeks ago.
