Im actually quite pleased with how often our phone gets updated now, Samsung has really seemd to pull the stick outta there butts :D
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Are all these frequent updates a sign that GB is likely to be the last of the official softwares for our Epics? Or are they just being extra conscientious about getting it right?

[Epic 4G General] poit:
If EF29 is actual release, I'd expect it on the July 18th, (the Monday after 2 weeks from code date). Apparently no Epic release in this weeks playbook.

The Transform's update is actually Froyo. The Tab is getting 2.3.4 though.

I'm told this is it, but its still in testing and anything can change, the 30th was the absolute deadline for a working build, so this is promising, I say 15th - 20th for an OTA, Ill have more info next week...

That makes sense because they need to get the OS loaded on those Epic Jrs the Conquer and ready for sale on the 24th. But does that mean the 30th was whether it was working completely or not? So many bugs in the EF02 leak. Also is the Sprint Voicemail coming back or is it being dumped for Google Voice? Don't want Google voice voicemail because I already use it for a business number.

EF29 is still the newest test build. We should either see newer builds meaning they are still working on it, or if this build is approved as final we could see it as early as July 18th. Bottom line, just have to wait and see.

It is so people will by the new Conquer with 2.3 and the EVO 3D. Conquer release date is July 24th.
[Epic 4G General] htc_joe:
I thought that device was more high end entry level then a mid level or high end phone... so why would one down grade from an epic to the conquer? that phone has a 3.2mp camera i think... but yes it does have a 1ghz cpu...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not saying most will downgrade. But since the Epic hasn't reached a year yet most people will not be leaving the Epic. This is strictly for upgrading customers from other phones. Sprint will be offering the Conquer for between $50 and $100 for 2 yr contracts since Sprint still has the Epic for $199 upgrade price. So they are counting on people replacing other phones. They are also have the EVO shift (crap) with 2.3 already on it. And for the high end people wanting 2.3 they are pushing the EVO 3D and opf course the regular EVO has 2.3 now. It always seems the Epic is underplayed with Sprint. Dozens of EVO commercials...no Epic commercials.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I wonder if it's just the form factor? Seems that Sprint never pushes their landscape slider phones too much. Perhaps there is too limited an demand for the full keyboard. I've had several full keyboard phones and each one was hardly ever advertised. Besides, the phone is almost a year old. Why would they still advertise it?

When Sprint gives details about Android updates for Samsung devices I don't believe them anymore lol I learned that lesson the hard way when I got my first Android (Moment).

EB13 was 4 days late and broken, pulled, broken again, and took, like, a month to get sorted. It still wasn't fully functional but it worked well enough for my device.

Then I took the 2 week late EC05 update (broken), lost my awesome EB13 flash, reflashed EB13 (unstable for some reason, same software from Samsung), waited over a month before EC05 was fixed just to only get more bloatware =/ Nothing useful in this update otherwise.

Soooo...yeah, Sprint's word on updates = wasted time investment to me.

Basically, if the company gave you guys those June dates...don't hold them at face value lol I'll be surprised if I'm wrong to doubt Sprint this time.

I'll take my chances brute force visiting Samsung's site until the update is leaked and manually updating.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Actually IIRC Sprint and Samsung have said nothing officially about Gingerbread for the Epic. The only reason it's known about, unofficially used and expected officially is...XDA.

OH how quickly they forget DK28! How long was it from the DK28 leak until official Froyo hit? The EE03 leak means nothing....it is not even source code! After DK28 there was EB01, then EB13, then finally EC05. There are barely even whispers at Sprint for a Gingerbread release. Samsung's Twitter specifically stated a European release in May...didn't happen, then over weeks or months to get it to US carriers.

Yeah it does, if that is the way Samsung dictates it to happen...and they did on their Twitter feed. The Galaxy S in Europe does not have all the restrictions and bloatware that US Carriers have so that is just one reason why it releases there first. Magazines have also slated the Epic to get Gingerbread months from now. If you all want to get worked up and get your hopes up, don't come crying on here when it don't release. I seen it here over Froyo and it wasn't pretty. Every other thread was "Why don't we have Froyo yet". Hate to see all that whining again.
