I wasn't aware that there was an update available thanks cac2us,
I was having trouble finding out what the update brought so if anyone cares to know here's some info from verizon on the update:

I was reading around at lgforums and some people didn't really like the new update as they claimed it add more arcsoft powermobia stuff, I hear that they replaced the native windows alarms app and it might have some bugs. It also seems to have gotten rid of the music control for the lock screen.
Though most notably it now has a more feature full home screen allowing widgets and apps on 5 screens and it now has a 3g hotspot program that just uses the unlimited data and incurs no fees (according to people at lg forum)
