This afternoon, Samsung Mobile announced via their Facebook Page that they were pulling the official Android 2.2 (Froyo) update that is currently rolling out to the Samsung Vibrant handset. No word on the GPS bug that’s been as equally frustrating. So far, the success of Froyo upgrades on the Vibrant have been hit or miss. Some people have made it through unscathed while others have ended up with bugs aplenty. Meanwhile, a third group of users hasn’t even...
Owners of the Android-powered Sprint Intercept will be pleased to know that the official Android 2.2 (Froyo) update is coming within days. But if you can’t wait, you can get things moving yourself by going to “Settings” > “About Phone” > “System Updates” > “Update Firmware/Android”.

The above image shows a second FCC filing for Dell’s highly sought after Venue Pro. Though instead of the standard T-Mobile atire is AT&T 3G support.
