Sprint begins the Gingerbread rollout for the LG Optimus S

Remember the end of last month when we saw the source code for the LG Optimus S Gingerbread update appear, but no word of the update? Well the update has finally been detailed for us, and it will begin rolling out today. The update, which is slated to roll out to all users within 10 days will bring a whole bunch of improvements, such as

• Volume adjustment from handset when backlight is off and in a Bluetooth call
• Initiation of a 3-way call in certain markets
• Updated color scheme (includes darker notification bar and black-based menus)
• New on-screen keyboard (supports multi-touch input and a smart auto-correction function)
• Improved cut-paste functionality
• New integrated download application for ease in accessing downloaded files
• Updated camera application
• Power management and task killer applications

So if you own an LG Optimus S on Sprint be sure to check for the update, and if you happen to receive it let us know your thoughts in our forums!
