Software outlook
The phone launched on Gingerbread, but the writer expected it would probably be able to run Ice Cream Sandwich later. That was an expectation, not a confirmed update plan.
Why the chip stood out
The original post pointed out that the 1.5GHz dual core processor was faster than the one in the Galaxy Nexus, which was announced around the same time. The same period saw a string of phone and software announcements, so the Bell release risked being overlooked.
Where to see it
Bell customers were told they could look at the phone in Bell retail stores. The post also noted that the name LG Eye was not a favourite of the writer.
Status today
The phone and the carrier lineup it belonged to are long obsolete, so these specifications are historical.
