Sprint Follows T-Mobile USA and Promises Android 2.2 Froyo for Its Own Epic 4G
After T-Mobile USA had announced that it will be delivering its Android 2.2 software update to its Galaxy S variant, called the Samsung Vibrant, rival carrier Sprint has tweeted that it will soon deliver an update to Froyo for its own variant of the Galaxy S called the Epic 4G with a sliding keyboard. IntoMobile is reporting that Sprint has made some tweets indicating that the carrier is working with Samsung to deliver the update, but that like T-Mobile’s case, the update has been delayed due to carrier testing and optimization. Those tweets read:
Sprint & Samsung are working to release Froyo for Epic ASAP, but only after it meets rigorous testing criteria to ensure quality experience
Epic 4G users: Froyo is still in the works. We’re working closely with @SamsungMobileUS to ensure the best possible customer experience

for samsung to purposely delay the froyo update because it would cause a decline in sales for the 4g vibrant, thats just selfish, greedy, and low down. So in other words, screw those whose money we already collected, now were only interested in lureing in more potential buyers.
