Pantech Burst owners will be happy to know AT&T has just announced an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade is now available for download.

Made available in the US back in January, along with Pantech Element tablet, the Burst smartphone was initially powered by Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread platform.

However, starting today AT&T customers will be able to upgrade their Pantech Burst to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

The upgrade brings lots of new features, including improved text input and spell-checking (Android keyboard), as well as control over network data and other web browsing enhancements. Virtual buttons in System bar and contextual options in Action Bar have been included as well.

Unfortunately, the update is not pushed OTA (over the air), which means Burst owners will have to manually download and install it via Pantech USA support site. Check it out here.
