Sean’s Rant

This is a necessary update that wasn’t a live update, which automatically updates the phone for you. Point your Instinct browser to this link (http://www.handmark.com/downloads/2483/SamsungM800EX.jad) and you will get the update.

Instinct update just went live. Read about the details on it here:

What I’m looking for:

-Opera Mini 4.2 support (YES! The keyboard Shows Up!) They added a button!

-Standard Document support

Taken from BAW (Buzz About Wireless):

Not yet. I just tried and got nothin. 

I will check periodically throughout the day, and mostly will be keeping my eye on the BAW instinct forum for someone who has successfully loaded it.

***UPDATE*** It’s live now

11/19/2008 is the proposed date for release of the fourth instinct update.

Some major changes that are supposed to be in it:

-Java Keyboard support for 3rd party apps like Opera Mini! (This will be sweet and I have left Opera Mini installed even though it doesn’t work in hopes that it will when the update comes).

Wake up and smell the update, mobilecrunch. I sent a tip to techcrunch about the Samsung Instinct update when it actually happened and it took a week for mobilecrunch to post about it. Its a good thing I don’t rely on them for my Samsung Instinct info. See my original post here.

As promised, this time, Sprint issued the Instinct update, which is now the 3rd version of the phone, supposed to be making the internet better, faster, and more user friendly.

Now, if we only had a list of what was being updated! Things I was looking for:
