This isn’t officially confirmed, but the rumor on the street is that Sprint and Samsung are getting ready to finally bring the Android 2.3 Gingerbread to the Epic 4G. Yep that means the only device in the Galaxy S family with physical QWERTY keyboard will soon get a number of new features and performance enhancements.
From what we’ve heard the over-the-air update will start rolling after July 24th, which is like two weeks from now. Needless to say, the second your Epic 4G informs you there’s new software available, hop over to local Wi-Fi hotspot (to make the download faster), “push the button” and follow instructions on the screen. Make sure your battery is full, though. Also it’s useful to backup all the important data in case (God forbids) something goes wrong.
So in a nutshell, it took Samsung and Sprint a whole month to test out all the aspects of the new firmware update — if you recall, we spotted the leaked Gingerbread firmware on June 24th.

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.
