[dgstorm]

It looks like owners of LG devices and their fans will have to wait a bit longer than most of the other manufacturers to get Ice Cream Sandwich on their device. LG just announced their lineup of phones that will start receiving ICS, and that it won't start until the second quarter of next year and will even extend into Q3. Here's the full quote from LG's Facebook page:

LG will be offering the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS upgrade for a range of LG smart-phones which were introduced this year. The global upgrade schedule will begin in the second and third quarters of 2012, which will be followed by a global roll out.

During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Eclipse. These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third quarter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the LG Optimus EX.

LG will be taking all possible measure to offer a smooth OS upgrade in a timely manner. The exact start dates can vary by market, as each country can have different requirements, depending on the carrier and the smartphone model.

LG would like to thank its customers for their most valued loyalty and support. Further details on the ICS OS upgrade, including their exact start dates, will be released prior to their commencement. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.

Thank you.

This is fairly disappointing new to many folks, although at least LG is giving us a schedule and a product list to look forward to for ICS. Share your thoughts.
