Samsung Saga Gets Unlocked GPS, Software Update
Posted in: samsung, Smart Devices, smartphone, Today's Chili, Verizon Wireless
The Samsung Saga SCH-i777 on Verizon is a nice smartphone with excellent ergonomics, at least hardware wise–and now Engadget Mobile has word that Saga owners can download an official Samsung software update as well.
The update features the latest version of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 (AKU 1.5.1). More importantly, it also unlocks the handset’s GPS radio so that other applications aside from Verizon’s extra-cost VZ Navigator can use it.
In addition, the update lets users send MMS messages when roaming on GPRS networks. If you’ve got a Samsung Saga, head over here and check out all the goodness. If you don’t have one, read our full review. While the Saga isn’t perfect, its form factor, trackpad, Opera Mobile Web browser, and world phone capability are all big plusses.
