Today Verizon Wireless has introduced a new service that will alert users when new firmware is available for their handsets and will walk them through the update process. Verizon calls this over-the-air update service a proactive step to help customers update their phones before problems arise. It should help reduce in-store visits for repairs or updates. Verizon says most updates will take only a few moments. It will be available for select handsets later this year, and rolled out on more phones throughout 2008.
Welcome to 2005, Verizon!
Sprint was doing this 2+ years ago.
Your right software updated 2 years ago...BUT SPRINT still does not have Over the air programming like Verizon Wireless.
You have to still program Sprint phones manually...
How ghetto is that LOL
And Sprint sucked even more two years ago. What's your point?
spring is the laughing stock of the wireless industry so no one cares what they had years ago
Now your doing something worth a damn
Good Job Verizon!!
So much for buying a flashing station for my store
We were thinking of buying flashing stations for our chain of indirect stores, but that's out now. The machines are expensive, there are specific times you can and can't flash a phone, a huge manual that is always changing when new phones and updates come out, and the chance that data can be lost or phones fried during the flashing process. No need to spend big bucks on hardware and training if the process will soon be automated!
