Lg optimus v or samsung intercept?

I want to get one of these phones on virgin mobile but i dont know which one. So first of all, i definitely like the intercept better just for the keyboard. However everytime i see a side by side comparison, it always says that the optimus is better. So i decided i wanted the optimus. However now there is an update for the intercept (2.2 i think) and i was wondering if that made it as fast and responsive as the optimus. Which phone should i get considering the update?
