Can you please elaborate more on this? It sounds like a recent iPhone update from last week. Apple simply said "this update fixes several bugs." Please, we deserve a little more from Sprint. It would be really nice to have a short list of what is being addressed in these updates. Instead of improving our experience, this vague note only increases speculation.

Agreed... now if we could only get some specific information on the updates to be added to this thread we may see the multiple other ones stop cropping up.
Posted by: Drybonz 3 months agoThanks for the info but the only update I got so far is the e-mail and tv. I see most people got all the update. I'm I missing something I keep on checking but still nothing. Missing the VM, Radio, Navigation, updates
