If you’re the proud owner of Verizon’s newest flagship handset, you may have noticed a couple niggles with the LG Voyager ’s user interface. Well, you’re not the only ones to have noticed - it seems Verizon’s been hard at work to make sure that Voyager delivers an experience that rivals the iPhone’s (even with a pressure-based touchscreen). It’s been on market for barely a month now and Verizon Wireless has already issued an update to the LG Voyager’s firmware. You do have to get your lazy bum down to a brick-and-mortar Verizon Wireless Store in order to update your LG Voyager with the latest bits, but we hear it should be worth it. Longer battery life, better browsing experience, more applications accessible from the external touchscreen, functional Google Maps - they’re all in the cards for the LG Voyager.

• Fixed issue with V CAST Music and 4GB+ removable memory read error
• Adds ability to reset V CAST Mobile TV client
• Update power settings to improve battery life performance
• Bluetooth enhancements to audio, pairing, and key tone
• Mobile Web - HTML browser enhancements
• Fixed to display ?=? symbol on the bottom in the calculator for LG Joy font
• Fixed to access to keypad through only one step while in a call
• Fixed the auto lock setting so that the touch screen will not lock on its own when auto lock is set to off
• Fixed to allow ESPN application on external touch screen
• Fixed to allow Mobile IM on external touch screen
• Fixed to have no difference between the displayed image (to let you know which scene was taken) and the actual saved image, when you take a picture aiming at any moving objects
• Fixed when device goes to maps.google.com, the device resets
