    mobilefreak, 08 Jan 2011@all the helpful guys out there i am unable to update the ... moreHi,
    I don't remember the exact steps but this is what i can recollect:Connect the phone to your computer via USB (Before that make sure that the 'mass storage only' mode is unchecked in the phone's settings). Open PC suite->check phone update. Follow the steps as displayed on the screen. First the LG mobile updater will be downloaded. Subsequently, the updates will be downloaded. Just make sure that you don't shut down your phone or escape the update program when the actual update is running otherwise you may lose even the current operating system software. Don't get worried when the phone goes to emergency mode or reboots while updation because it is part of the updating procedure. It will take some time to download the updates. Just have a little patience.

      The optimus one outsmarts galaxy 3 and wildfire. I have come to this conclusion by contemplating upon the specs, performance(my own experience), design and last but not the least - the positive reviews.

        You can view online videos using the browser application 'skyfire'. You can find it at the market. For viewing youtube videos there is a 'youtube' application which comes preloaded in the optimus one.

          Igor, 08 Jan 2011Is there any way to use navigation via GPS, without using 3... moreHi,
          Use the application NDrive. It works purely on GPS. You just need to download the maps for your city when you first open the application and after that you can use that application without getting charged for that.

            Xrub, 08 Jan 2011hey guyz, well i understand that the smartphone works like ... moreHi,
            A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic feature phone. Most feature phones are able to run applications based on platforms such as Java ME whereas a smartphone usually allows the user to install and run more advanced applications. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers.The feature phone has less advanced programming APIs(Application Prgramming Interfaces) and is unable to run native software specific to a smartphone platform. Smartphones are also defined by the ability to run third-party software, typically known as applications or 'apps'.

            RAM is like virtual workspace that is used while an application is running. Think of it this way: A person sitting and working at a desk. The person is the processor, the physical desktop is the RAM. Processor and RAM are both important. They will both affect how fast/slow applications run. The processor is controlling the speed at which data is processed and the RAM is the 'workspace' the processor is using to process that data. So they both have an impact. RAM is used by both OS and application software. Devices with more RAM can run more complex software and multiple applications at the same time.

            In feature phones, e-mail is usually an included feature, but you often have to pay extra for it(no wi-fi capabilities), or you have to access your e-mail via the mobile browser. Push email is often nonexistent. You can get corporate e-mail on some feature phones, but the experience is usually far slower and not as smooth. Calendar syncing is often a problem, as is document editing. However, feature phones make up for that with a big focus on multimedia and texting, and almost all feature phones have GPS, full HTML browsers, and 3G speeds. A lot of feature phones also have popular social networking abilities now; Twitter and Facebook integration is especially popular. So if you want to run applications such as e-book readers, cardio trainers, high def games, run videos of different formats, live wallpapers, antivirus,etc., you need a smartphone.

                      hey guyz, well i understand that the smartphone works like the computer i mean there is processor, RAM and all that stuff but cud anyone explain how the feature/java phone works coz there has been much hype about processor speed in gh and the size of RAM in the smartphone field. Does it mean the feauture/java phones does not need RAM and processor to operate? Would appreciate anyones input to help in clarification.
