Sprint already announced that they will be rolling out another maintenance release update for the Epic 4G, starting today. It wasn’t too long ago that we saw an update, so it’s good to see Sprint staying on the ball with this one. As promised, Sprint has released the change log (after the break) and it looks good. Most major concerns are being addressed, and hopefully everyone can get back to enjoying their Epic 4G’s instead of fighting the bugs. Any of you guys got your OTA yet? Sing out in the Epic 4G forums! [Sprint via Android Central forums]

Big Red really likes Android phones (probably a true fact). The dude, or rather, the guy, over at The Droid Guy, has posted a blury image of the new Samsung I-400. You’re probably already looking at this phone and saying, "meh." Sure it may look like a basic phone, but look a bit more. It probably doesn’t help the fact that there is a huge glare across the bottom — but look closer. This new Samsung phone is shipping with two displays: the main large screen and the lower mini-screen. This design reminds us of the Barnes and Noble Nook. No word on launch date or pricing just yet. All we know is that it will ship with Android 2.1 and carry Bing as the primary search engine. Go ahead — sound off in the comments section. [The Droid Guy]

Fennec, the codename for Mozilla’s mobile version of Firefox, is getting a bit of a name change to bring it in line with the current version of Firefox. Fennec 2.0 is currently in alpha and is still being updated with nightly builds, but the "web rendering engines used in both browsers are the same" according to lead developer Mark Finkle. As such, Fennic will be now have its official name changed to "Firefox 4 for Android and Nokia N900" for it’s eventual release. The current 4.0b1 version is identical to the 2.0b1 version apart from the version number change. These changes should help Mozilla out with marketing the browser so people aren’t confused as to why Firefox mobile is only 2.x, but their desktop version is 4.x. [Mark Finkle's Blog]

Originally we had reported UMA support may not be coming to Android, but then we saw some interesting news of Wifi calling appearing on the G2, and it appears as though the Motorola Cliq 2 may follow the same path. The Cliq 2 has been codenamed the Begonia, according to an Engadget tipster Nov. 1 is a rumored launch date, and it could launch with a Motoblur’d Android 2.2, and apparently will have a unique keyboard. Stay tuned. [via Engadget]

Two new Samsung devices in one day! It was just over a month ago when we saw the year-end roadmap for Verizon come to light. Among the unknown/unseen handsets teased was a Samsung i400 “Continuum” which was said to be a mid-range phone. Flash forward to today and we see that we’re looking at another Galaxy S class phone. This time, there’s a twist.
Engadget has scored the first pictures of the Continuum which, as you’ll see, has a second screen that runs across the bottom of the device. Called “The Ticker”, it’s said that this will be where notifications, rss, weather, and other messages will appear. According to Engadget, the Ticker automatically turns on when one grasps the bottom of the phone. Other details include a dedicated camera button and microSD card slot, accessible without battery removal.
First question that comes to mind? Will this have Bing instead of Google Search? More importantly, will we be able to download Google Search should Verizon opt to go with Microsoft’s decision engine?

“StartTalking is billed as the world’s first smartphone app that lets motorists keep their eyes glued to the road and hands upon the wheel when composing a text. The company claims that unlike other text messaging apps that require you to peek at or touch the handset at some point, StartTalking is all voice-controlled all the way. There’s no need to open any app or navigate menus. It can even operate when the phone screen is dark or the keypad is locked You simply bark out a pre-assigned name to “wake up” the phone and start StartTalking. Following audio prompts—”Speak to create a text message for Ed or say ‘cancel,’” you can dictate and properly route your message. StartTalking can play back texts too.”
