Shoot!  I got all excited when I saw all that information that I hadn't seen posted yet.  Hopefully the link on my page doesn't work because they are updating it.

[Snow02]

Yeah, it should be up today. Just check periodically. I'm sure it'll hit this thread the second it goes up.

I guess I will just scratch my itch to flash with some copy/paste from the PDF.

Dang.  It still itches.

[Snow02]

Yeah, I'm more curious to see if they actually do anything to address the ram issue (if anything could be done). Aside from that, I'm not expecting anything that will significantly alter the experience. But who knows, maybe they have had a couple people working on improving it.

those updates are ass.  not even worth the flash cause all of that can be done done.  i can already transfer bt, already have multiple numbers for people,  and not many people use vvm, facebook, and city id.  so this update not worth it.  


i wish people would just give up on the ram issue.  nothing is going to happen now.  its way to late.  the phone is going to be a year or 2 old soon and im sure vz is pretty much done with this phone and its discontinued anyway at other places and vz will soon follow

Actually, it was released just over 9 months ago....

And as most all of us are on two-year contracts I'm sure, we're likely stuck with this for awhile, outside of coming off a bunch of cash, so any fixes would be welcome.

But like I said, it's doubtful anything compelling would be offered, so thanks for repeating my post in more cynical wording.

Come on samsung!  you update the pdf BEFORE the download link?

[Snow02]

It's up. Here's the link. It's actually different from the one I posted earlier for some reason. I got to it from another samsung support page. Weird. Anyways, I can't flash till later, but whoever's first, post about it.

I'll post a mirror to rapidshare or fileserve before I leave work if I have time. The download is going pretty slow (183K/sec).

Build 21907 if that helps. Don't know if it's 6.5.x or not, but I don't think so. I think it's a COM2 build.
