LG VX-8100

I currently have the 8100 and absolutly love it. Though is may have some voloume problems, i dont mind it much cuz it doesnt happen to often, also the features on the 8100 are way better than the 815, i wouldnt trade off. I am anticipating the update but am hearing bad things about it, is it worth it to get it when it comes to my area. Does it do anything other than enabling the mp3 player. Otherwise i think that the 8100 is a much better and more customizable phone then the 815.
