If you were enticed by all the sweet Iron Man marketing and happened to pick up an LG Ally from Verizon, or if you just wanted a touchscreen slider with Android and found it to be perfect, things are going to get even better. Verizon is sending out firmware updates for the Ally, or you can go to Verizon’s site for instructions on how to download the update.
Once you update your Android handset, it will be running firmware version VS740ZV8 which includes the following improvements:
- Increased QWERTY keyboard operability
- Streamlined alert functions
- Improved usability with alert sounds for authentication or confirmation of Bluetooth functions
- Increased speed and response time for Messaging and Camera applications
- Manage your schedule with preloaded Corporate
Calendar application - Improved Amazon MP3 application
- Preloaded Backup Assistant application is now available
- Enjoy an enhanced preloaded Visual Voicemail application
- Sync Facebook contacts with a new preloaded application
Increased this and streamlined that — it looks like your device might feel like a brand-spankin’ new handset once this thing takes effect. So go on ahead and update your device if you haven’t received a notification already and let us know how it goes.
