Samsung Provides Android 2.2 (Froyo) Update To AT&T Captivate
It's tough to believe just how many months ago we reviewed Froyo. It was
sunny, summer evening in 2010 when Android 2.2 began hitting the Nexus
One, and now, over half a year later, some phones are still awaiting the
update. Samsung's Galaxy S line has been a huge hit for the company,
with over 10 million units sold worldwide and a version on every major
carrier in the U.S. But for whatever reason, Froyo has been very slow to
come to these phones. AT&T's version has been left Froyo-less for
quite a long while, but it looks as if the company is hoping to correct
that.
The Froyo update for the Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of the Galaxy S) is finally upon us. Updating your phone isn't a total cakewalk, but at least Samsung provided a step-by-step guide on how to do it. The details are down in the via link, but at the very least, you'll need your phone, a USB cable and a PC with Internet. And maybe a little luck. But hey, at least you'll come out with Android 2.2!
Never mind the fact that some phones are already sporting Android 2.3...
