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.

Discuss the new update in the Instinct forums.
