Finally, it appears that a Galaxy S Froyo rumor might turn out to be true. Earlier this month — about a week and a half ago — we heard a magic date: February 21 for the Epic 4G on Sprint. We’ve heard dates attached to this before, though, and so we took it about as seriously as one can after getting burned multiple times. Turns out that it was right. Android Central got its hand on some internal Sprint information, and yes, we can expect a Froyo update for the Epic 4G on February 21, which is next Monday. And that’s not the only device getting Froyo in the near future.
Just to be clear, if you are an Epic 4G owner, you might not get Froyo on Monday. Sprint is running a four-day roll-out, so you could get it any time between Monday and Thursday. But by Thursday the issue should be behind us.
There’s a bit of good news for owners of the Sanyo (Kyocera) Zio, too. Sprint plans an update to that handset, too. That could mean further good news for MetroPCS and Cricket customers who own the handset. That’s going to come on Monday and run through Friday.
So what’s next for Galaxy S and Froyo? In the original rumor we heard two additional items. There was one rumor that Verizon’s Fascinate would get the update on February 22. To this point I haven’t seen further word of that. There have been leaked ROMs, but nothing that suggests an official release next week. It still might come, but the lack of confirmation has me thinking that this is another misleading rumor.
But that’s not as bad as AT&T. In the original rumor we did see the Samsung Captivate running Froyo. On Wednesday it appeared that AT&T had dropped a Froyo update for the Captiave, only to pull it not long after. That could signal it’s close, I suppose, but that misses the point. That was a mean trick. I’m sure they didn’t mean it, but geeze, to roll out a Froyo update to an audience that has spent way too long waiting for it, only to pull it immediately, well, that stinks. And that’s all I have to say about that.
