lg incite 2 AT&T recalls LG InciteAccording to the official AT&T forum, the carrier has begun to recall LG’s latest smartphone for a software update:

“Here is the information that they (meaning the store people) need to be looking for. A ‘Blue Dot’ will be placed on the master carton, gift box and transceiver (in the indented box area under label) of all new CT810s for easy detection of updated devices. The orange dot phones are the ones with the issue.”

The problem is related to SMS messaging (Curse of Silence, anyone) – it prevents certain types of SMS from being sent out.
