Shane Conder's Whateveritis of Nothing

So, apparently my Sprint Samsung a920 allows for over the air firmware updating.  I couldn't find anywhere that listed any firmware history for this phone.  There were some lists for the A900, but that's a completely different phone.  However, it had four updates in half as many months.

My phone had ES.A920 YK12 on it with PRL 20217 straight from the box.   After checking for a new firmware it told me that no firmware was available.  Oh well.  There were a couple of things on the A900 FAQ that I was hoping would be available in an update since the A900 firmware updates seem to have added enhancements. 

I guess I'll have to wait before finding out how well the OTA firmware updates work.  OTA firmware updates were demonstrated well over a year ago by QUALCOMM.  I haven't seen a normal Verizon phone that allows for OTA firmware updates so I was hoping to be able to see it here on Sprint.  I wish the VX9800 had that so I wouldn't have to drag it into a store to get the VCAST Music service on to it (assuming they'll be upgrading it for that, of course).
