Sprint has "turned on" application updates for the Instinct. Instead of checking for updates, Sprint will begin pushing updates to the Instinct. The plan is to push updates for Picture Mail, the web browser, Sprint TV and Radio, Sprint Navigation, Sprint Email, Sprint Music Store, Visual Voicemail and Mobile Sync.
Do not expect all the applications to be updated at the same time. Sprint has released the "go" signal to vendors, so it should happen sooner than later for each of the applications listed above. As you run the application, you'll be prompted to upgrade. The upgrades will happen OTA (over the air).
Outside of improved stability and bug fixes, there has been no official word on what to expect from the individual updates. Let us know how you are faring with the updates in our Instinct forums. Not a member, register today and join our growing community.
Sprint has released a firmware update for the Samsung Instinct. The update does not update the applications on the Instinct, but rather it prepares the Samsung ROM for application updates which are planned for early August. The much anticipated application updates will include changes to Picture Mail, the web browser, Sprint TV, Sprint Navigation, Sprint Email, Sprint Music Store, Visual Voicemail, Mobile Sync and more. Looks like August will be an eventful and promising month for Instinct owners.
