Samsung Epic Set to Get Gingerbread This Month

July sure is shaping up to be a big month for the Now Network! Looking at our calendar, the 24th is looking like a big day in particular, we’re calling it “Super Sunday!” However, the day after has the potential to steal the show, well at least for some. While having a nice chat with a very close source, we received word that the long awaited Gingerbread update for the Samsung Epic 4G is on target to roll out this month! Our source couldn’t lock down an exact date, but things are pointing to around after the 24th of July. The alleged culprit that has slowed the Epic 4G’s tryst with Android’s latest flavor of baked goods, is said to be Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. With an Epic 2 in the pipeline for an August/September release, this kinda sounds like a case of sibling rivalry. No matter what the case may be, it’s good to see a non-HTC device finally get the Gingerbread treatment on our favorite carrier. In the meantime we’ll continue to dig for an official date for you guys, but three more weeks isn’t too long of a wait.

no

It was never officially the release date, no one knows actually.

However I see samsprint running through a lot of built numbers, look at this as a blessing, it means they are actually taking this build seriously and we may actually get quality software for a change.

Besides either way it shouldn't be "too" long

Well - here it is, August 8th, and no update.  So much for highly placed information.
