Sprint's Epic 4G come out with Official Android 2.2 (Froyo) update




Sprint's Epic 4G has just become the first US Galaxy S phone to nab an official Android 2.2 (v2.2.1, in fact) build, with the requisite files populating Google's servers this evening. The codename of the build looks to be DK28. This suggests the build was finalized on November 28th about one week ago.
