Phone is capable of Runing Android 2.3.7, I know it, because i installed it on my LG GT540, some custom version of Cyanogen MOD7, adapted for this phone, and it works really smooth :)

I have this phone, and I am ok with it. Yes it has a low RAM and slow CPU, but otherwise it is ok, it is a mid class phone. It is ok for its price, u can use your navigation perfectly, u can use skype and etc. I like it for its options. U can always buy much expensive phones.

Not as good as it looks and now very dated.Low RAM and little storage space for apps on internal memory only. Resistive screen problems worsened until unuseable.
However, flash playback possible with Skyfire video player.

I hated this phone. not only is the use of it useless but it is also slow at processing. It was a big let down for me as every LG I used prior to this one was great. basically the bottom right button which is where you normally hang up or go to home screen lock the phone, which is really frustrating. When using the phone to send a message the key pad is a pain pressing 8 ends up making a space and pressing 7 activates shift. Any command for example to open contacts it's takes 5 or more seconds to open section. I had never thrown a phone on the floor before this was a first. Worst Phone I have ever owned. very frustrating. Might suit old person who does not need speedy response is good as has Google apps etc but that is it.

Excellent phone! I've been using it for over a year and it's still as good as new. The custom unofficial builds of Android 2.3 really give this old device a boost. Too bad I'm going to replace it in several days with a SGS+. It's been an awesome experience!
