The LG Voyager has probably received more updates than any other Verizon phone, which is great news to me since I own this particular model. It has been reported that LG and Verizon will roll out the next firmware update (v10) somewhere around August. It will include support for visual voicemail, drag and drop icons, copy and paste and a drawing pad.

It is also being reported that new customers that purchase the phone may see a slight physical difference to the phone as well as a new USB wall charger. Unfortunately current owners won’t be able to trade in their old phone for a new one, but they can upgrade the firmware for free by bringing it into the Verizon store.

Hopefully, there will be other features added in the v10 update. Some of the things I would love to see are:

• The ability to add notepad to the shortcut icon list so I don’t have to drill down so far to access it.
• I would love to see a full screen picture of who is calling me (similar to the iPhone) instead of the small icon photo they currently allow.
• The ability to multitask between playing music and something else (ie. texting, surfing the net, etc). Right now when you play a song and you decide to do anything else, the song stops playing and you have to restart it again which can be very annoying

This probably won’t happen as many people have been asking for these features ever since the first firmware upgrade, but I guess we shall see when August rolls around. On a sidenote, I’m not sure why the firmware will be called v10 because they followed the number convention from the firmware history it should really be v11 (v03, v05, v09, v011).
