Updates Freeze Phones
Engadget carries a piece on the how Sprint reportedly froze a every single Fusic phone when they tried to update the phones’ software with an update over the airwaves. Engadget says:
It seems the firmware update, pushed just a couple days ago to customers’ handsets, quickly and efficiently bricked each and every one of them. The whole situation is a full order of magnitude more frightening than Nokia’s similar experience with the E70, seeing how Nokia’s update was optional and at least required the user to manually perform the upgrade.
