Another post on the Buzz About Wireless forums details the improvements made with the BH-29 firmware update. You can read the details here

The most important part to me is

Individual application upgrades for the MR3 period are expected to go live the week of 9/29 (all dates are estimates and are subject to change with no notice). Exact go-live dates depend on application vendor.

Additionally, firmware structures have been added to facilitate the upcoming MR4 firmware release.

So we can expect updates to the individual applications – this just gets better by the day. When I say “Instinct”, you say “Sprint” – go meat???? Sorry, I watch way to much football I guess, lol.

On Tuesday the 23rd, Sprint posted on the Buzz About Wireless forum that Wednesday might not be the release date for the past due firmware update.

According to that post, the 24th was just going to be the day of a go/no go decision and they would tell us late in the day if the update would be released.

Sprint waited until after 5 PM CDT to decide and YEA! it’s a go!

So far I’m impressed. The browser is much faster and scrolls better. I think this is where the browser should have been when the phone was released back in June. I still have issues with the text not wrapping on some sites, and they jacked up my favorites list but that is easy enough to repair.

Other things that I have noticed:

• calendar alarms can be set with notification prior to the appt
• voicemail ringtone works instead of playing the text msg ringtone

I’m sure there are other things since the update involved 249 items.

Some things are not corrected (perhaps by design):

• can’t delete builtin ringers
• can’t remove sprint store from browser bookmarks

Since BH29 was a firmware update, I’m curious to know if that opens the door for updates to some of the builtin apps like the Music Player which still sux.
