Can anyone confirm this?
[Epic 4G General] Killasmoke:
Have any of you guys try to update it manually in settings? Try a few times see what happens if nothing keep trying this week if he got it should be set to be release for everyone this week if not sprint would probably do it when Verizon release the new Nexus with 4.0 cuz there dumb like that sprint release the thing already I got s Nexus but I had the epic & phone deserves it

You can ask for source to be added to there git repository.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That didn't work with Froyo and ain't gonna work now. If OTA started first off firmware version would be updated on Sprint's website so the techs don't give out wrong information and the best way to get an OTA is to access the market since it comes off of Google Servers. But go ahead and keep pushing that update button.

GB and

I know that the current GB ROMS have been like a breath of fresh air on my phone. (Running CM7)

If ICS provides a level of change similar to the Froyo to GB update, then we should be in for a treat. (I'm not saying we'll ever get ICS on an Epic. Hey, I'll get a new phone sometime!)
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
You're kidding right? GB gives us Hardware Acceleration of our GPU. It also adds eye candy as we all know, and makes native use of our front facing camera. There's resigned apps from GB phones such as the GS2 that work on GB. Not to mention the optimization of android code. On top of that, if anybody wants a fully working port of ICS, it'll at least require a stable Official GB kernel and an ICS rom to build on from.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
ICS gives hardware acceleration and full usage of dual core devices. Any phones or tablets with dual core before ICS have not experienced their full potential. I can't wait to see how the Hardware Acceleration affects my gtab 10.1.

[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Assuming its real, if only that poster hopped on XDA and headed over to the Epic section, & rooted his wife's Epic, he could share that rom, and we'd be happy without waiting for sprint to OTA it. What'd be funny is if he did share it, we get EI22, and Sprint OTAs a newer version. :p
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Nobody said it was rooted
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I don't think it's necessary to make a thread about it, so I'll just mention it here, if you all check the market Google+ has an update, I believe its updated too look like leaked ICS app that most of us had couple weeks back, also, if you take a look at the screenshots of Google+, you'll notice they're all screenshots of the app from ICS. <3

I read in another thread somewhere that GB ws released by two other carriers. And talking to a Sprint Tech on Sunday, she said they released the update Saturday. She had no reason to lie either. She said to look for it in about 5 days (Friday?)
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
+200 on that! We do need that phone! LOL
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Here is why I find that story so hard to believe (sorry for being such a skeptic).

If this cellphone belonged to "Joe Cellphoneuser", he/she would have never known that "OMG I am running on software that isn't released yet!!! Let me get a picture of this ABOUT screen and post it on the interwebs for everyone to see". That person would have DEFINITELY got the community everything off that phone.

Just smells fishy to me. That said, I am one of the many that is tired of the software delays on the phone, and am ready for Sprint to just do the right thing and communicate the status, or release the damn thing already. God forbid a company communicates with their customers.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
If you read the first post by the man, he seemed like a reasonably knowledgeable guy, but not as obsessed with phones as we are. His comments made sense. If he really wanted to run a hoax he's going about it in a really round about way.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Hm

I want to believe this, and even if it is still speculated, we're going to get GB regardless of that poster's image eventually anyway. There's only 1 slight detail i do not agree upon, and that is the fuzzy battery percent mod on the top right corner, I don't recall official GB having a Batt % Mod.

interestingly enough i dont know if this will be any help to you guys yet but i dropped my phone the other day and now the screen is messed up.flickers and then turns a orangish color.

i called sprint to try and get a new phone. im not eligable for upgrade until dec and i sure as hell didnt wanna pay for a deductable. they told me to take it to nearist service center. there are 6 in my area . i hit them all no luck with in house repair and all out of replacements.

anyway after getting to the last store i settled for them ordering a replacement phone .gonna take 3 days to get to me. no deduct.

i asked the tech if he thought it would come with the latest gb update. his reply was more than likely it would . i hope so / if so i will hit you guys up on how to system dump.

If Sprint is advertising that the device is shipping with Android 2.3, then they better damn well be shipping it with that version. If not, it's false advertising and they are wide-open to a lawsuit.

Honestly, that was pretty funny. You all jumped on him like a pack of hyenas for just stating his opinion. Personally I find it very irritating that he has 30 second to whole minute intervals of the camera being pointed at the wall, he says the same exact thing in every single video. Are people really that slow that they don't know how to get into recovery or flash something? Or even just saying do the three wipes every single time then showing himself wiping for a good two to three minutes, also in all of his reviews the rom theme is great. He overexaggerates how good something is and says "wooooow" at them all. They all aren't that good. And if a person is going to make hundreds of youtube videos that involve their own handywork they should invest in a tripod. Not a person telling it like it is. Que the hyenas...

If it's fake, that person did one HELL of a job in not only re-creating perfect film-grain to match the rest of the image, but adding the ghosting of the text caused by the protector on it as well. Also, the EXIF data is perfectly legit right down to the time matching on the camera and the phone.

In other words, I'm about 99% sure it's real. Now Sprint has some explaining to do.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You will find Sprint now feels they don't have to explain themselves to anybody. If you brought them the phone they would deny it and say it was hacked. Nice job on the pic analysis by the way. So then it still could have been a fluke, a tech looking at a test build and accidentally shipping the phone or the guy was able to hack the modem file and change the baseband label. Either way until it shows up on a second phone the point is moot.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
if you throw it in to photoshop and use the "select by" tool, you can clearly see the same shadow of the guy taking the picture across all surfaces(the table is shiny, and that shadow matches up with the reflection on the screen and bezel. im 100 percent sure its not photo shopped. there are other forms of trickery though.
