    If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for
    you? On my 8300 I can go into the settings somewhere and choose "Update
    Phone" and it acts like it's connecting to something and trying to
    update, but after a few seconds I get a message saying "To update your
    phone in the future, go to Settings --> etc. etc." but I can't tell if
    anything was actually done at that time. Am I supposed to get some
    feedback that the phone has updated?

    Sprint never enabled the support for that function on the Sanyo 8300 or
    Samsung A840. Even though the phones have the ability in their menu it
    is up to Sprint to make it work on their end. And they never did that.

    So what is the method to update? Does it auto-detect when you call *2
    like it has in the past?

    There is no way to do it without taking the phone into a Sprint store
    and have them to do it with a cable connection. However they now
    charge $35 to do that.

    Yes I believe the Samsung A900 does have the ability to update the
    firmware over the air using the menu function. Sprint has deployed it
    for that one.

    I can confirm that. When I purchased mine, the first thing I did was
    an update... it took about 10 minutes, but it did work

    I updated my Sanyo mm-7500 yesterday. If there is no update available
    it responds as you have described, but in my case there was an update
    available and it warns you prior to installing the update so you
    definitely know what is happening before you proceed.
