This is one of those things… you have to just hang your head and shake at…
Sprint finally today woke up and realized “hey, maybe it’s a good idea to announce that Firmware Over-The-Air thingy to people can start using it”…
Such “announcements” do not dignify a respectable journalistic coverage, far too little, far too late…
The press release did, however, shed some light on why the service was delayed (not that an email from Sprint couldn’t have told customers why they continuously had to go to the Sprint store when they could see their phone had FOTA). Sprint intends to broadcast FOTA events to all customers at once, and then the customer will approve or reject the firmware update as they see fit.
