If you’re an owner of the LG Optimus S you should begin to rejoice, because your update has finally been detailed, and it will begin rolling out today. The update is scheduled to roll out to all users within 10 days, bringing a slew of improvements including:
- Volume adjustment from handset when backlight is off and in a Bluetooth call
- Initiation of a 3-way call in certain markets
- Updated color scheme (includes darker notification bar and black-based menus)
- New on-screen keyboard (supports multi-touch input and a smart auto-correction function)
- Improved cut-paste functionality
- New integrated download application for ease in accessing downloaded files
- Updated camera application
- Power management and task killer applications
As of late, LG seems to be trying to offer consumers better support for older devices and a clearer vision for newer phones down the pipeline (the 1.5 GHz dual-core LTE LG Optimus comes to mind). Watching LG finally get it in gear is encouraging, especially after some disappointing earnings which showed its mobile division losing money. So, if you own an LG Optimus S on Sprint be sure to check for the update, and if you happen to receive it be sure to hit us with your thoughts.
