LG

Is there a vx11kvo9 version release? I only see version 8 on the site.

The v09 software has already been released. I had it installed Friday night (3-10-2010) at a Verizon corporate store. This release has a new browser (not sure if it was in 08 - if there really was a 08?) ... Polaris7. Sadly, at least two of the very repeatable bugs I and others identified have not been addressed or fixed (almost 1 year later), which are:

1) Calendar alerts *always* occur approx 24 hrs in advance of the scheduled event, no matter what the Alert time is set to, rendering the calendar function almost useless in my opinion.

2) When you use the wall charger (as opposed to charging via USB), the lcd screen remains in the grayed out mode (as opposed to OFF) during the entire charging cycle, for example ALL night long. This completely boggles my mind! This does not occur when charging via usb.

Thanks for the info. Version 8 did exist (I had it).Successfully downloaded V09 online yesterday-not noticed any changes yet, the Polaris 7 browser was in V08. Again it would be nice to know what issues were addressed. While I had V08 installed I did notice some random shutdowns-hope that's been corrected in V09-We'll see.

Very annoying that this has not been addressed yet. It is unnecessary strain on the screen

Good luck with that... LG for some reason doesn't think it's relevant or important to let the consumers know who bought their product what these software updates include. Almost every other cell phone maker that I know of when they release a software update lets people know what is is fixing, adding, and improving upon. Not LG though... It's a secret.....

hope it helps.

Wherein I like the enV Touch as a phone, since it does texting and voice calls (duh) very well ... which is why I bought it, this will be my first and last LG phone, because I am totally unimpressed with LG as a company, I'm sad to say.

Their phone support is terrible, and this giant secrecy regarding what has been fixed in firmware updates is totally unacceptable! It's a perfect example of the sad state of customer service in the USA.
