samsung instinct update Samsung Instinct gets another firmware update

Back in August, we reported that Sprint (NYSE: S)’s flagship device, Samsung Instinct, received a firmware update. Now a new firmware is available to Instinct owners that aims to fix 249 tickets open since the previous public firmware release.

The most important improvement in the new software is the updated web browser, which reportedly brings a 10x improvement to rendering speed. Users should notice this in the areas of pan/zoom/resize functionality. In addition, it is now possible to show/hide browser controls and leave more space to webpage display…

In a nutshell, if you own the Samsung Instinct, you’ll want to upgrade. But before doing so, make sure you save/backup your bookmarks, as users report they’re all gone after the update.
