Funny that it’s from Samsung, and not Verizon.
Come to think of it, is it ever from Verizon? Heh…

The big things I see are sdhc support and the mail checker improvement and it changes your text messages to running conversation. which things are not on the lists i seen. the sdhc I have not tried bigger than 4GB would like to hear if bigger works. I was having trouble with the sdhc hack. the card would go away and come back randomly. so it was real good.
