Official Froyo test upgrade for Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G leaks

Now, you could sit around and wait for Sprint to roll out the Froyo upgrade some time in the near future, most likely on a staggered basis. Or, you can grab it yourself by heading over to the source links. Hey, no thanks required! All we ask is that you express your feelings about your newly 'Froyotized' Samsung Epic 4G in the comments box below.

**Update**
Apparently, Samsung Epic 4G owners are beginning to receive the Android 2.2 upgrade directly from Sprint. Obviously, with the OTA upgrade, you simply need to click a button to get the whole process rolling. If you received the OTA prompt and have upgraded your Samsung Epic 4G, let us know. Those comment boxes below are waiting for your observations.

Didnt get the update ota but did it with the leaked (official) version from xda. With 2.2 its so much better! Brings more colors to the setting, changes the way texting looks, and of course flash support.

So since this isn't directly from Sprint, will downloading this void my warranty?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't worry about it so much. This leak is official and can easily be updated through the stock recovery system. Plus, Sprint isn't the brightest about their phones AT ALL, so they probably wouldn't even realize if you had either Eclair or Froyo.
I remember when I bought my Epic, the representative was trying to sell me it by saying it had Froyo. He actually believed that too. I brought up the "about phone" settings and made him look stupid. I'm glad I know my electronics haha.

Installing this release will void coverage. Sprint notified its employees of the leaked update yesterday and told everyone to advise customers that it is a test revision and not to install it. That being said.... many Sprint employees won't know the difference anyway.. I have installed this on a few Epics and the one issue I noticed is that one of them will no longer send texts properly. My personal one is working fine, though.

Just to let everyone know, I spoke with a Sprint Rep and they told me that if you bring your Epic into the store, they will update it to the 2.2 Froyo for you. No need to wait for the OTA update or possibly mess up your phone by doing it yourself. FINALLY!!!!
