Yes to permanent freeze. Had the phone 4 days. 1st three days no problem. On the 4th day I was customizing the home screen with weather and sports headlines (per instructions). The screen went blank and will not re-boot past the "sprint logo - loading" screen, then back to blank. Called customer service (no known re-set tricks). Was advised to go back to Sprint store. Back to store (no known re-set tricks there either). New phone is no on the way. Will report any issues....

I understand that Samsung has released a new firmware to address this issue. Couple of questions?
- Does completely fix it? i.e. any reports of freezing w/the new firmware?
- Does the freezing issue occur under certain circumstances/during certain functions?
- Can someone provide the firmware release rev of the 'fixed' version?

Thanks!

Okay, the new firmware SHOULD help with the freezing. I have it, and am happy with the new firmware update. You should also update your PRL.

If you have Sprint, they allow you to update your phone for free (even without a data pack). But if they charge you on the bill, you can call them and they will happily take those charges off for you. 😉
