Android 4.0 ICS update for LG Optimus 2X now available

LG Optimus 2X owners in Europe can finally breath a sigh of relief! After nearly half a year of it-will-get-it-it-won't-get-it drama, the former LG flagship finally started receiving its ICS update.

The firmware version of the update ROM is V30a. It brings the Ice Cream Sandwich sweetness, garnished with the latest LG launcher.

You can get it from the LG update tool right away. It seems, though, that the carrier-locked Optimus 2X versions will have to wait a while longer to join the fun.

LG already updated the South Korean cousin of the Optimus 2X, so it was about time for European users to get the same treatment. At this point though, it seems almost certain that ICS will be the end of the road for the first dual-core smartphone - it is highly unlikely that it will ever catch the Jelly Bean train.

Here's hoping that LG has learned a valuable lesson here and will do better with the Optimus G and the Optimus 4X HD.

Thanks, everyone, for sending this in!
