Second major firmware update for the Samsung Instinct

August 15th, 2008

Just a few weeks after its first update, the Samsung Instinct has received its second major firmware update.

They’ve chosen to roll out this update in an interesting fashion. Rather than pushing out one big update for the phone, they’re pushing out a series of updates for each affected feature. The updates include:

  • Picture mail (fixed some errors)
  • Browser (rendering optimizations)
  • Sprint TV/Radio
  • Sprint Navigation (better battery usage)
  • Sprint E-mail
  • Sprint Music Store
  • Visual Voicemail

It sounds like a nice collection of updates for an already popular phone.

Verzion finally launches visual voicemail

August 1st, 2008

More than a year after Apple introduced it with the iPhone, and some months after Sprint lauched it with the Instinct, Verizon has finally brought visual voicemail to one of their phones.

At the current time it only works with the revamped LG Voyager, known as the Voyager Refresh. However, it’s expected to arrive on other phones very soon — maybe the Dare?

Visual Voicemail is the feature of the year

December 29th, 2007

David Pogue, tech columnist for the New York Times, has chosen the iPhone’s visual voicemail as the best new feature of 2007.

I almost think it’s a bad choice because it was such an obvious feature, but no one else had done it before. The iPhone is certainly lacking in a lot of places (no GPS, no MMS, etc), but it certainly has brought a lot of innovation to the market. As a result of the iPhone, 2008 should bring some incredible new devices.
