No update as of yet...don't know how much support this phone will get from Samsung since the focus from them is really going to be on the Galaxy S (Epic 4G). I have not heard anything about Froyo being on the Intercept at all and unfortunately there has not been too much development from the devs on PPC/XDA/SDX.com to release anything that is custom. You might just be stuck with 2.1, which isn't a bad thing. Hope this helps.

Supposed to be out by the end of Nov. Well see i guess

Sprint today confirmed to PhoneNews.com that the Samsung Intercept will be upgraded to Android 2.2, Froyo.
The Intercept launched with Android 2.1 shortly after the official release of Android 2.2. As an entry-level Android offering, the phone is meant to compete with budget solutions such as iPhone 3GS.
The Android 2.2 update brings the Intercept a badly-needed feature in comparison to the aging HTC Hero and Samsung Moment, which are both sold at similar price-points with contract. Sprint has already stated that both Hero and Moment will not be updated past Android 2.1.
As we previously reported, the Intercept may be a better choice for new buyers, compared to the Moment. Despite having a slower CPU and poorer quality screen, Samsung’s refusal to update the Moment leaves it in a state of planned obsolescence.
