Froyo Update may come sooner then we thought
 

While this is for Korean version, it is a good sign that they will already have it ready by then...not only that, this is about a month after the release which is a good sign for us here as it spells samsung will have the update ready and waiting on the carriers only.

It would be nice if Sprint just announced a release date of the Epic itself, it would be all gravy if they than said Froyo by this date. Sprint is HORRIBLE with informing it's customers ANY timely information in general. Verizon is releasing their next Android phone in a week, Sprint could easily dig into those sales by saying our hardware keyboard phone is coming on this date placing doubt and making people wait to compare the phones. Instead people are just going to buy the Droid X and Sprint will just lose those sales. All this because no one wants to guess WTF Sprint will "eventually" get around to do.

Dumb...Dumb...Dumb...

Sprint has always been a 1 phone company...aka since they released an EVO they take forever just to release the next phone...I guess they can't understand the concept of running 2 feature phones at the same time...

But either way its good to know samsung is almost done with the froyo update...

Re: Froyo Update may come sooner then we thought
 

I guess that would be true if one could ACTUALLY buy an EVO, but that isn't really working out for Sprint right now...

Sarcasm aside, I totally agree that it's a good thing that Samsung is about done with the core of Froyo, now they just needs to customize Sprint's crap--I mean extras!

Re: Froyo Update may come sooner then we thought
 

Well thats more the point..I don't understand why carriers are happy that their phones are "selling out"..they don't make money on selling phones they make money on contracts..if you can't keep 1 phone stocked your loosing customers...this is another reason why Epic would have been nice for an earlier release..they could split the traffic between 2 phones during the summer...

The way they are doing it now though seems like they just giving away subscribers...:/

I don't think there is an intentional delay going on with the Epic. I suspect it will be released within a couple weeks of the earliest possible date they could have released it.

Re: Froyo Update may come sooner then we thought
 

Well you say that but...I can understand T-mobile releasing an Android phone before Sprint...but when AT&T beats you to the punch..thats just sad :/

Update: Look at this..see told you sprint is screwing itself: (The longer they take with the EPIC, the worse off they will be in the 4G race)

I'm not sure how any of this leads to the conclusion that Sprint is intentionally holding off on releasing the Epic. Do you know when Sprint had access to a complete device relative to when AT&T did? Do you know if Samsung is manufaturing all versions of the Galaxy S at the same time, in equal numbers? I think it defies logic to look at Sprint's comments about their EVO problems and conclude they don't WANT to release the Epic yet.

Well this has been a TREND of sprint for a LONG time..sprint always released one device and tried to milk it out for 3-6month without adding anything new....

Same thing happened with the Touch Pro 2..it got delayed due to them trying to milk the Palm Pre...and many phones before...
