Dear All,
There has been some kind of updates yesterday. What does this update do to the software?
I read it on the Internet that it is not OTA. It has to be done through Zune, of which I tried and would like to share my experience.
After connecting my LG Optimus 7 to Zune and pressing update for phone in Zune, it prompted that update is available. Owners' of Samsung WP7, please do a research in the Internet as several Samsung phone owners had some serious bad experiences. But for LG Optimus 7 owner ... please read on
1) 1st attempt
After I pressed update, Zune displayed ongoing process, there were 10 stages all together. It was all fine until stage 6 and I remembered reading those who had bad experience their update stopped at stage 6. Somehow after short while my LG Optimus 7 bounced back, it did a soft reset and recovered. At that time, Zune displayed message saying my phone was not updated. Escaped from almost bad experience, I quickly tested my phone and it seemed to be working normally.
2) 2nd attempt
Knowing my LG Optimus 7 could recover, I decided to give it another go. Wholla ..... it completed stage 6 and advancing into stage 7 and this took a while. I think this was the time when the firmware was transferred from my notebook to my wp7. It showed the progress from 0% until 100% ... I did not time it but I think around 20mins or more. After the completion of stage 10 ... my LG Optimus 7 was updated and ready

Don't take my words for it ... this is just my personal observations.
1) Opening up video file on my phone seems slight faster.
2) Still trying to get my phone frozen when browsing Marketplace ... that is the only way I know to get my LG Optimus 7 to freeze. Oh, btw ... with my HTC Touch HD WM6.1 ... I had a long list to achieve this.
3) Accessing Internet seems faster ... did a bandwidth test ... never achieved before 3.41Mbps for downloading speed using "S" Bandwidth apps... yeah, I know you guys probably could get better speed with the other operators using better data plan ... but I just simply compared with previous data using same phone and same carrier except the new tiny update from Microsoft.
Well, that's all ... merely sharing because one dude asked the above quoted question.
