Went in today and got the new software upgrade for the LG VX8300.

Here are the changes I have noticed.

1. The Flash UI themes load very quick now. Almost no delay.

2. MP3 Player is totally wiped out. Cant even get to it with the 0000000 code. Music Settings are still there but says "NOT AVAILABLE", so now all my MP3's will have to be converted to .WMA's.

3. Still no support for veiwing texts or missed calls from the front of the phone.

Other than that i havent really noticed anything different.

I was hoping for a couple new UI Themes and the text/missed call problem to be fixed. Oh well....

Hmmm...

But it plays them with the VCAST player. Not the nicer MP3 player it used before where i could change sound settings.

See, these are the reasons people complain about Verizon. LOL

Yea it does play them through V-Cast... I liked the equalizer it had before...

My main purpose for updating the software on my LG 8300 is so it could support my 2gb MicroSD..

You dont need to go into the secret menu anymore... just go to your My Music folder and thats it.. make sure you save the music in there... Supports both mp3 and wma by default now...

The text thing wont be fixed cuz the screen resolution is not high enough...
