      How will I know. You keep posting anonymous so I assume you are this guy that uses different IP addresses.

      Anyway, your device's software is only good out of the box. Then it gets stuck in there because LG software updates sucks.

That's how bad is LG when it comes to updates especially with their flagship devices. I'm already enjoying using the Jelly Bean that brings lots of features and functionality.
            http://www.sammobile.com/2012/12/11/galaxy-note-ii-receives-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-update-lots-of-new-features/

            It has Google Now that features lots of useful cards, updated multi tasking, updated camera features, super fast and buttery smooth operation. "Good looks is useless if the phone is dumb and stuck in outdated software.
            Pretty soon mine will be getting Android 5 (Key Lime Pie) while yours would still be stuck in outdated ICS, LOL! JUST KEEP DREAMING....

I know you will never be happy if everyone has the latest software and yours is stuck in old version and just keep dreaming and envious.

                        Seven LG handsets, including the LG Mini and New LG Chocolate,
                        claim nine awards at the world’s premier product design competitions

                        MANILA, Mar. 25, 2010 -- LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, announced today that two of its mobile phones have been named winners of red dot awards, adding to the seven prizes won earlier this month at the iF design awards. The two events are among the most prestigious in the world of product design.

                        “LG has invested a huge amount of effort and resources to produce phones that are as colorful and individual as our customers’ tastes,” said Mr. Raymond Hernandez, corporate marketing head of LG Electronics Philippines. “Winning these awards year after year is proof of LG’s leadership in design and our ongoing edge over our competitors. We will continue to set new heights of design as we deliver a unique user experience to all our customers.”

                        LG has enjoyed particular success with its new LG Chocolate (LG BL40), the fourth handset of its Black Label Series, which boasts a 4-inch-wide panoramic HD LCD screen on a glassy body; as well as the LG Mini (LG GD880), an extremely small and slim touch phone with a narrow bezel. Scooping awards from both organizations, these two models are part of LG’s overall tally of eight prize-winning products: two categories at the red dot design awards and seven at the iF. LG’s five other award winners are the Crystal phone (LG GD900), the Lotus2 phone (LG LX610), the LG GW620, the Watch phone (LG GD910), and the Lollipop (LG SV800).

                        Respectively one of the biggest and one of the oldest design competitions in the world, the red dot and iF awards are renowned in the world of design for their exacting standards and rigorous judging processes. LG has been a winner at the red dot awards every year since 2003, and at the iF awards since 2005. Last year, LG won red dot awards for its Secret phone (LG KF750) and 3G Watch phone (LG GD910) and an iF award for its Renoir phone (LG KC910).

                        The award ceremony for the red dot design awards will be held on July 5, 2010 at the Essen Aalto Theatre, Germany and all award-winning products will be exhibited at the Essen red dot design museum from July 6 through August 1, 2010.

                          Dubai, January 29, 2013
                          LG Electronics (LG) announced that seven of its mobile products received the highly sought after and globally recognised 2013 International Forum (iF) design awards.

                          LG’s winning products included the recently launched Optimus G, the Optimus L9 and five other smart mobile products.

                          “LG invests heavily in smartphone design in order to create products that are uniquely differentiated from those offered by our competitors,” said Dr Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

                          “As far as we’re concerned, strong design is crucial as it not only complements, but also enhances our high-performance hardware. Perfecting the balance between style and full mobile functionality has long been a part of LG’s design heritage and it will continue to be so.”

                          LG gave its Optimus G a stunning black uni-body form, which combines simplicity with a sleek finish. The handset also features a luxurious look and feel, with a 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS Plus display and LG’s patented Crystal Reflection finish.

                          The Optimus L9 is the embodiment of LG’s premium L-Style design DNA; a blend of sleek form and modern square design. Its 9.1mm body and eye-catching metallic streak provide comfortable grip and a touch of elegance.

                          LG’s other iF design award winners include the Optimus LTE 2, the world’s first smartphone with 2GB RAM, and the LG Lucid 4G, a variation of the Optimus LTE for Verizon Wireless in the US.

                          Also taking home awards are the Optimus L7, a high-end model from LG’s L-Series lineup, the Optimus Life, a popular LTE smartphone recently launched in Japan, and the LG Smart Dongle for wireless access to LG Smart TVs.

                          The 2013 iF Design Awards ceremony will be held on February 22, 2013 at BMW World in Munich, Germany.

                            LTE At Light Speed
                            LG has been committed to developing cutting edge LTE technologies from the very beginning. Starting from developing the world’s first LTE modem chipset in 2008, LG moved on to showcase blazing speeds in LTE-CDMA at CES 2010, so fast that it was recorded as the fastest in the world. In February of 2011, LG again pioneered LTE technology demonstrating the world’s first video phone call over LTE. Most recently, LG has successfully demonstrated the world’s first voice-to-video conversion over a LTE network at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012. All of this naturally means that LG holds the most LTE technology related patents in the world. With over 14,000 patents globally, it measures to 23% of all LTE patents in the world. All LG LTE mobile phones are backed by this incredible amount of patented technology that ensures you’ll be carrying the most advanced LTE phone.
