Typical template reply from the monkeys that work in the UK Customer Dis-Service dept?

they just send out stock replies, and TBH if brains were dynamite, they wouldn't have enough to blow their noses.

I would wait till a few more countries support said the same thing, before giving credence to that reply.

Hasn't it already been said though, that there will be an update(sure i read it that there was, maybe on here, maybe somewhere else), and given that the phone seems to be quite popular, i can't see why not.

[Guest DarkField]

Its not official.

But a employee of LG said to me, that the update to 2.1 will come this year.

Actually, it seems to be most likely

LG Optimu's display has near 265K colors (actually - 262 144 - 18 bit/pixel). Android 1.6 support 65K colors, and Optimus was released this year… HTC Tattoo for example has a 65K color display, as I know… So, why LG uses this display in Optimus if they have no plans for updates – just ‘money for nothing’?

[Guest DarkField]

Mh.. yea.. I don't knew that. But now..

Guys..... GT540 WILL be updated to 2.1, dont worry ....

End of September all of you will enjoy 2.1 running on their GT540

P.S. Some countries may delay the 2.1 release

Email back asking for the source code for the GT540.

[Guest borovaka]

hecatae Are you email them? The source code is not so important because we can gat full android source from google, but they must share kernel modules who are used for GT540 and the way for flashing new firmware ( fastboot is missing).

They engineers using special device (named PIf-100) but we don't have access to it.

If they answer to your mail please inform us. It will be very hot info.

this device pif-100 i think gives full access to mobile because when there is no software( or is damaged like mine) u cannot access to the phone through "andorid usb modem" because when you try the connection is lost... so this pif-100 i think unlocks the phone and allows to work with it... thats sad for me coz now i have to send my phone to service :/

I bought my GT540 on the 10th of August from CPW in the UK, when i bought it they told me it was running on Android 1.6 but that their will be an update released at teh end of August taking it to 2.1 (and that it wont be upgraded to 2.2) Of course it could be flannel but he got the information from the CPW computer network and CPW are reputable I doubt they would lie over this to get sales, the bad publicity later would hurt them
