My kids have the Samsung, they got them for Christmas and they seem to like them. Anyone have an suggestion on which one would be better? I like the idea of the physical keyboard on the Samsung... but the newer version of Andriod might be better. Does anyone know if the Samsung Intercet can be upgraded?

I would have probably gone with the LG. Here is a comparison.

Main advantage for me would be the better resolution of the screen. But the best way to choose is to go somewhere and play a bit with any of them.
Important: If the Samsung is not to get 2.2, there will be no flash content support.
The LG I have choosen is not exactly Optimus V, but it was the closest I found (according to Wiki)
