Back in August, we reported that Sprint’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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
