So I have looked at he howard forums and what not but no one seems to have an idea what else this update does other that speaker phone? Is LG going to make this update avaliable on their website rather than some guys who just go a copy of it?
...
the update will be available at the verizon stores soon. No exact date is available yet.

it is strongly recommended that you do it with a data cable, which can be obtained by purchasing the music essential kit from any Verizon store($29.99)

Does the upgrade do anything else besides add speakerphone? I don't use speakerphone and just wondered it it was worth my time to get it updated it this was all it did.

Mary,
It also give you the option of single click the side key or keys so you can use the phone with the slider closed. I set it to single click but found that to be a little touchy and
then set it back to the double click.
The speaker phone part only comes into play when your on a call. At that time the camera button icon changes to a speaker icon.
