Availability

North America

In the United States, the LG Optimus Black is offered by multiple wireless carriers known by their individual brandings.

  • Sprint and Boost Mobile released it as the LG LS855 Marquee.
  • NET10/Straight Talk offer it as the LG L85C though it retains the "Optimus Black" name.
  • US Cellular offers it as the LG US855 Majestic.
  • KT Korea offers it as the LG KU5900.
  • Other regional carriers offer it as the LG 855 Ignite.

In Canada, the LG Optimus Black Skype Edition variant is offered by Telus Mobility as a special edition in collaboration with Skype. It was later discontinued by that carrier, and all remaining stock was repackaged for Telus' Koodo Mobile brand instead.

Software updates

The LG P970 Optimus Black and CDMA variants received an upgrade to Android 2.3.4, resulting in improved battery life, enhanced autofocus, and new apps. As of 4 January 2013, an upgrade to Android 4.0.4 was made available for the P970 through the official LGMobile Support Tool; however, no such upgrade was made available for the CDMA variants of the phone, and attempting to upgrade it using the P970's firmware would render the device inoperable.

gollark: I was going to suggest things, but then I realized that Macron does not really have a coherent design and therefore any concepts.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Did you check the talk page?
gollark: Is that a good idea?
