Below is a statement that will be released today regarding the Android 2.2 upgrade for the Epic.  Watch for additional information to be posted on Monday!

Android 2.2/Froyo will be pushed to Sprint Samsung Epic 4G customers beginning Feb. 21.  All users should have access to Android 2.2 by Feb. 25.

New Samsung Epic 4G MR EB13 will upgrade the Epic 4G to Android 2.2/Froyo, many updates including Flash Player 10.1, Bluetooth dialing, allows app installs to external storage

This software update (version EB13) will include:

    * Upgrade of the Google OS from Éclair to Froyo (2.2.1)
    * Ability to install applications to external storage
    * Improved Bluetooth device support
    * Bluetooth Voice Dialing
    * Flash Player 10.1
    * GPS Enhancements
    * Improved OS performance

UPDATE PROCESS: The software update will be delivered as a wireless download (over-the-air, or OTA) in waves starting on February 21. All Samsung Epic 4G owners should have access to the download by the end of the week (Feb. 25).

Once your Epic is in the queue and eligible to download the update, a message will be pushed to your device saying that a software update is available. If you are not yet in the queue and you attempt to check for a software update manually, you will receive a message saying “no upgrade is available”.  This simply means your device isn’t in the current wave of updates.

All customers should have access to the update by the end of the week (Feb. 25).

I hate to sound pessimistic, but I'll believe it when I see it.   Big Grin

I certainly hope this happens though.  Good times!

I got the update yesterday and I must say it's 100 times better then 2.1. The images and apps are sharper in appearance, the load time is faster and I can run Skyp Video with no issues now. I think my Epic blows the Iphone away!!

I just got off the phone with Sprint and I was told they are no longer sending out the update because it is messing up the camera and causing text message issues. 

Anyone else getting this?

WTF Sprint / Samsung?????   Angry

The tech at the Sprint store hadn't heard anything of this either.  Maybe I just got a CS dood with old info.

I've had froyo for a couple days now via the Samsung site, windows/pc version. Backed everything up and loaded software and everything works perfectly. No camera or gallery problems. Was a little sluggish at first but I was guessing because it was a new loaded software, and I guess I was right its very quick and snapy now. I'm very happy with it and I love 10.1
