  1. I got a small feeling that I’m going to be on the”didn’t get the update “list next week. What then? I hope not, but I just can’t shake the feeling.

  2. Just curious: If you have the “bootleg version” of Froyo (dk28) installed on your device will you still receive the ota update for 2.2.1? Just wondering because it’s now day 3/4 of the roll-out schedule and I have yet to receive anything. On the other hand, I dunno anyone else with an Epic that has received it yet either…

      I do not think so. Either you flash the official version or someone at XDA might have a solution for you.

  3. Got mine yesterday morning. Worked very well and so far I like what I see. No problems.

    I hadn’t updated to the bootleg version previously, so I don’t know where that leaves you if you had.

  4. I got mine this morning. I actually got the Samsung Transform as a replacement to my Moment that was FUBAR in a way that would cause intermittant lockups when placing calls. I actually got four Samsung Moments before they Sprint agreed to replace it with a Transform. The Transform is leaps and bounds better than the moment even though it seems to have basically the same hardware. I guess they just tweaked out all of the bugs. Anyway, I was surprised to be upgraded so soon, but man it’s even faster, and so far it seems stable. I also got a built in task manager, file manager, a new clock, and a hotspot app, which is cool. Hell I was happy just to get something better than the Moment. This is all just icing on the cake; I mean nuts on the FroYo.
