has sprint offered a OTA yet?
i know this is a relatively new technology, but has any carrier offered an over the air update yet? My Cu500 has this ability also, i just doubt it will ever be that popular with carriers.
Think about it from the carriers standpoint: why fix phones for free when you can rope them in for two more years, and get them to purchase a new phone. The only way they will use this is in situations like this, where vzw is obviously saying to themselves "Doh!"
i know all phones are released with some amount of 'acceptable' bugs, i just see this as a way for the carriers to release less finished phones. Rush the phone to get it on store shelves before the holiday shopping season, and hope they have a OTA that solves some known issue before too...

Theres been multiple FOTA updates on phones that died off what seems like almost a year ago.

yes they have offered it... the option is built in to most new devices. You can tell the phone to check for updates and if it finds one it will download it for you. I believe it is under menu > settings > upgrade software.

Sprint has been doing FOTA for the past 2 year... I've said it before, I'll say it again... "They may not be the #1 carrier, but Sprint is always the innovator, not the imitator!"

so true old friend.... so true.
speaking of which, Rev A. is being turned on in my market over the next week... one more 1st for Sprint.
