In Brazil we have a public petition asking to LG agility on this. Ice Cream Sandwich will be released next month and we can't get gingerbread yet:
The original link (in portuguese/br) is:
http://www.peticaopublica.com.br/PeticaoVer.aspx?pi=LGO2X
Citizens undersigned, here by request comes, a position on the software update from mobile phone model LG P990 OPTIMUS 2X, since the LG device sells in Brazil as the "largest processing power in the world", and in fact, it's extremely outdated, does not match the expectations of buyers.
Around the world LG is delaying all the deadlines for update our phones, disregarding the consumers.
It's unacceptable that our smartphones dont run the system 2.3, since this same hardware is already running newer S.O on T-Mobile U.S. version - LG G2X since july/2011.
We would, at least have a real date, since we are customers of the brand, and we was buying the phone, the update was a decisive factor. We trust on the responsibility of the LGE in Brazil, to provide some kind of information to its Brazilian customers.
If you want to help too, sign the petition and join us (translated to english):

if not this petitions are usless
Can totally agree about how the LG O2x has hardware that deserves the latest build but do think we expect too much from LG since carrier related too.. many years ago there would be hardly any updates on WM yet the community pushed with leaked builds and the users got to get fresh builds with most bugs solved by chefs etc... my point being take a look @ class action taken over the 3D drivers issues with Kaiser it really gets no where I'm sure LG will come up with the goods its just a waiting game in the meantime flash user created builds and set your phone up too rock!

i hope its work bro...
I dont really care. We have topogigi 1.7, GR3 and CM7. Surely these are better than what LG will bring to us.
I don´t want any official gingerbread anymore. Now I want ICS!
If LG is going to update to ICS I dont know, but I will jump to CM8, even without a2dp and fm radio.
hope so too.
Signed all The problem is that i want FM radio, A2DP, HDMI, and i also want USB host, because tegra 2 supports it. Only LG can give us theese features fully working.
P.s. Sorry for my very bad English.

they provide us only promises, maybe they actually didn't know what gingerbread are...
Wow, LG suddenly announces: 2X will get 4.0 upgrade. She haven't promise the time and it is far from now.

They have lied through more official means. ;p
The radio, or lack of, is what keeps me from staying put on CM7...
i want to see official announcment, not some kind of fb post.
It is possible to promise always, but doesn't mean to carry out.
Were frightened of the public!
I would rather believe soon or later LG will close down their smartphone branch, like HP's webOS.
I'll believe them when I'll get GB on my phone.
This is facebook bulsh..s I think that sameone who post in this "social network" don't know what is ICS.

That's really great! I hope for 4.0.
actually, LG Indonesia also confirmed ICS for O2X.
Indonesia is huge market for LG Phones, so their info is trustworthy.
but the question is, WHEN?
we just received GB in Nov.
so ICS, next year? on 12-12-2012 lol.
It would sure be a good start of a comeback if they manage to deliver ICS without too many delays.
I'd give LG an other chance, when they try to make the updates faster.
Yeah, we gonna wait more 50years with GB until we get the ICS update...
This is truly amazing news.
LG confirms today that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be initially available for the following high-end LG smartphones which were introduced this year: the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE. We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones to make the ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible.
In December this year, the forthcoming upgrade schedule and additional specific models for the ICS OS upgrade will be posted on our LG Mobile Global Facebook page and on our local LG websites. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
where is the source link?

ah, thanx mate
Is the rumor release Q1 2012 confirmed or not?
The world is good again
I can see the future:
- this thread will turn into an ICS speculation thread
- reinbow will come and close it
yeah... this was in my local news site...... I think.. news.com.au
optimus
I hope some more optimuses will get the upgrade...I mean Optimus One or Optimus me )... but no high hopes

Actually, if this is the ONLY ICS speculation thread, it will remain open - but if we start getting a bazillion of them, they will be closed.
ETA As a matter of fact, this will be the Official ICS Speculation thread, title has been edited, all others will be closed.
Erm... I don't wanna say anything negative, but I already posted that like a week ago in the Cyanogen Mod discussion thread, since that already turned into a discussion about everything concering the P970 as it seems...

yes u right, i thing so..
Well, if LG keeps their promise, P970 will be the last handset of these four to get the ICS update, unless they come at the same time. Should be possible to get it within Q1 of 2012, but i don't think so. They haven't revealed the ETAs on their facebook page yet, have they?
yes hulkhaugen you're right...
they haven't announced etas of ice so if I think about the gb update we will get ics at the end of 2012...

Ginderbread should be out tomorrow
ideally from what i have heard official lg gingerbread for optimus black should be out tomorrow ... 12-Dec
Would be nice birthday gift for me , but i guess they dropped GB to focus on ICS.
I know there's lots of these but they do make me laugh.
Every now and again i like to bug lg support and ask them when ics is going to be released but this is the response i got from them this time.
Mobile Phone Support: Good afternoon you're through to Chelsea Following this chat there is a short survey that will allow you to rate the Live Chat service you have received today. We appreciate all feed back given. How can I help you today?
richard frost: Im trying to find out when the release date is for Ice cream sandwich 4.0 for the lg optimus 2x will be
richard frost: hello?
Mobile Phone Support: Right okay, I do apologize for any inconvenience, but here at technical support we have not been given confirmation yet that this handset will be receiving the update, so we will not be able to give a release date at this time.
richard frost: Lg announced they would be releasing ics for the optimus 2x in the 2nd quarter is 2012....how can you not have any info try using the lg website as a source....

When i get responses like this i really have to wonder if we really will be getting ICS given not only lgs history but also the fact that their customer support seem to be blissfully unaware of their own announcements.
Meh.. the ics thing is a broken record. I don't really like the OS.

They are told what they can and can't confirm. If they have been told a date, they won't give it. This is normal industry practice, LG are doing nothing wrong here.
why not
It's sadd and funny in same time.
For example Baltic have got GB update just in end of february, but they told taht it's already relased on 21 october
So If LG will make any ICS for P990 it may happen on 2013 i guess.
We just can pray and w8 for some people in LG will wakeup and strat to move their .. brains.
just wait and see, i do rather flash CM 9 unfortunately it's still RC but i believe that CM will be faster than LG

Its not going to be faster than LG they cant get real hw acceleration working without either the sources or something from lg... therefor....not faster.
I know exactly what's going on behind the scene. As I have worked a phone customer service before. This guy pays no to very little attention to the questions asked, that lazy bastard. He's having a talk and laugh with his coworkers. He simply put does not gives a rats ass. It's a matter of reconnecting until you have found a worthy agent.
Lg introducing quick voice for almost all optimus series with an software update hope that will have ICS update for 2x and quick voice with that.....

ICS for O2x
Its already about end of Q2 and there's no sign of ICS upgrade for O2x, Quick voice is a faar call.
Anyway, it'd be cool to have assistant of our own!!
Majel is rumored to ve unveiled along with 4.1 JB in Google I/O, so we're gonna have an assistant anyway!!
lets c....but they have mentioned to provide the update so hopefully 2x will get something............
I'm more concerned about how long LG will make us wait!!
If you check out the Official Facebook Page of LGMobile, you can see people going berserk over LG's delay, most of them are O2X and G2X holders!!
I heard LG Indonesia/Singapore (forgot which 1) confirmed ICS upgrade in Q3 can can be as late as september.
JB is about to be released and we don't yet have ICS!!
Hopefully, Quick Voice will be worth waiting for!!

Can't start complaining before even trying it, can we?
On every single forum post I see announcing a new LG phone, I post that the phone will be released on GB and upgraded to ICS in 2014. Personally im never buying another LG phone so I hope they realise their strategy of not giving a **** is a bad one.

I will wait for the official siri like software from Google, it will for sure be more tested and accurate that any from samsung, LG, or other company. Much more users will use it so Google would be able to optimize it much more
Over here, the O2X is listed as to being updated in Q2 but Optimus Black in Q3. So maybe ics is coming after all.

What's your point? The P970 is a different phone and has a different ICS release date, they don't share the same ROM.
The OB has a TI OMAP 3630 chip while the 2x has a Tegra2 one - thus they need totally different drivers etc.
I'm pretty sure that we will get an ICS upgrade but I highly doubt that LG can keep the Q2 timeframe
Personally I would bet for ~November (which would be Q4, yes).
Anyways since last few days LG has stopped releasing further GB updates if they're working on ICS then its good, it will be wonderfull if LG releases ICS leaks along with most importantly ICS kernel sources.which could bring next one big missing theme HW accelaration!

Don't worry LG will release ICS update for O2X in Q4 (December) around christmas! It will be like Christmas gift for us !
