Second firmware update for the Samsung Instinct
Samsung Instinct has received a second firmware update.The Instinct has been heavily promoted for besting iPhone in the area of software updates. Not only does Instinct support Firmware Over The Air (FOTA), but each application automatically checks for software updates when it is launched. If an update is available, the user is prompted and immediately offered to install the update.
Software version BH29 focuses on wrapping up interface fixes, many of which were already addressed in the first firmware update. In addition, the firmware makes code improvements which are designed to speed up the web browser’s performance.
They’ve chosen to roll out this update in an interesting fashion. Rather than pushing out one big update for the phone, they’re pushing out a series of updates for each affected feature. The updates include:
- Picture mail (fixed some errors)
- Browser (rendering optimizations)
- Sprint TV/Radio
- Sprint Navigation (better battery usage)
- Sprint E-mail
- Sprint Music Store
- Visual Voicemail
