Epic 4G Update Announced, Delayed

From DailyTech: Following in the footsteps of its EVO 4G sibling, the Samsung Epic 4G was supposed to receive a maintenance update from Sprint just weeks after launching. According to BoyGeniusReport, the update was set to begin rolling out to customers yesterday. However, a Sprint employee posted this official message from the company on its forum shortly after announcing the update:

We were planning to release an update for your Samsung Epic 4G on 9/30. The file was delivered and on track for distribution but late this afternoon, we learned that an administrative issue prevented Google from releasing the update as we had planned. We are working to resolve the issue and will provide an update as soon as we understand the new delivery schedule.

So, the update isn't exactly available yet. But here are the benefits you can look forward to in the new software version S:D700.0.55.DI18, when it finally does roll out it will fix:

* WiFi standby battery drain
* Amazon MP3 cannot download in 4G
* Large emails lag in upload speeds
* Increased 3G upload speeds

It's an OTA update, so the software will be automatically downloaded to users' phones and rolled out in waves. Customers will be prompted with a system update screen asking to "install now" or "install later."
