  8. LG phones are crap. Can’t believe people actually got this last year. They never update their devices so this is a huge surprise

  9. LG phones are fast, power, and have amazing screens . they used to be “crap” but they improved since being with android. the only problem is there battery’s, thats because they were new to lte chips , it kills battery like the htc one v

  11. Wow what a different experience!!! Gingerbread was slow and laggy,but ICS is slick and quick! Too bad it didn’t come put sooner. As for battery life,is good for me.

    • I agree with Meow Meow the user experience is off the charts for me, I’m just sad I can’t use face unlock or at least play with it since Im on an exchange server my company disabled that functionality!

      the customization of the contacts sold me on this software, took a long time to come but I’m impressed so far.

  13. updated the phone. i feel i have a new phone again. Yes the OTA doesn’t work. You need to go to the LG Canada website and download the driver and do the upgrade from there. took about 40 minutes from start to finish.

  14. I don’t think OTA is a option. I had to reinstall the LG USB app about four times till it worked on my PC. You can always sweet talk on of your friends into using their PC.

    By the way this is ICS 4.0.4. My buddy with a Galaxy Nexus is stuck on 4.0.1. Ha ha. So much for Pure Google experience!!!!

  17. For those of you who can’t find the update as described by mobliesyrup, that’s because Bell isn’t releasing it that way. You have to have LG’s mobile update program on your computer. When you plug in your phone, select ‘software’ or ‘program’, I can’t rememebr what it was on version 2.3.5. On ICS version 4.0.4 it’s called ‘LG software’. The update program finds you phone and then you can select to upgrade it.

    As for Bell’s upgrade…it sucks! Bell has once again hacked away and something great and made it their own! Eye candy you see when you YouTube ICS, isn’t there. Some basic options like being able to select where your stock camera saves its images is not available.

    I can’t wait until my Optimus is out of warranty. I’m going to root it and get a hacked ROM. Most likely JellyBean (Version 4.1.x)

    Personally, I think Gingerbread, version 2.3.5, was better than this ICS, version 4.0.4, Bell has dished out! Shame on you Bell!!!!

  18. Android or iPad tablet. Planned 4G and caleullr data versions of the tablet are also in limbo or canceled outright, such as the Sprint WiMax version and the AT&T HSPA versions previously announced for release
