I've had this phone for 7 months already and I haven't really encountered any software problems from it since I upgraded it to GB, but I'm having problems with my power button. Its starting to wear off on me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Im planning to get it fixed on an LG service center because its still under warranty, but I'm afraid it might take up a month before it gets returned to me. And I cant go out a day without a phone, I use it almost every minute of the day by making calls, email, texting and music. Now I'm using the search button to wake my phone and I downloaded an app to turn off the screen. I'm afraid that one day my phone would run out of juice and I wont be able to turn it on because the power button wont be working anymore. right now I'm already planning to buy an Optimus Black. I'm hoping I wont encounter the same problems with the OB. But I'm still waiting for my Optimus One to reach the most a year old before I buy a new phone. :)
