It clearly states though that LG Optimus 2X users in Europe will get the update on Nov. 1, 2011.

LG Optimus One, LG Optimus Me, and LG Optimus 3D gets discounted!

LG dropped the prices of Optimus One, Optimus Me and Optimus 3D in a promo that will last until October 2, 2011. 

I'm thinking that LG will have more promos for LG Optimus 3D in the coming months.

LG Philippines released new Android phones (Price drop included)

LG Philippines Facebook page just posted an ad today announcing the 3 additional phones on their Optimus line-up.

1. LG Optimus 3D 
2. LG Optimus Pro*
3. LG Optimus Net*

*running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

In my opinion, LG Optimus Pro and LG Optimus Net are way more affordable than its competitor (read: Samsung).


They also announced a price drop for LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus 2X.

BPI Express Mobile for ANDROID

I've been waiting for this app to be available in the market since I used an Android phone. In case you don't know, Android does not support Java apps and games.

I already installed this on my LG Optimus 2x and my only feedback is, the GUI and the animation is not that good. The user will not know if he/she already pressed a button or not. Other than that, it is working great.

Here are some screenshots from my phone.

Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger is now out on Android and iOS platforms. It seems like it will compete with BBM and other existing messengers out there. It actually makes sense considering the number of Facebook users around the globe. However, this is currently downloadable in the U.S .


If you can't wait to download this app on your Android device., click the links below and download thew APK.

I personally tried this on my Android, the GUI is simple and straightforward. I tried to IM my brother who is using a Blackberry. I thought it will appear as chat on his phone, but it went to his messages folder. I think this will only look like an IM if the user is also using the same app, though I have not tested this yet on another android and iOS device.
