Why is Froyo still on the Samsung site?

Since Froyo was pulled by Sprint, why is it still available for download from Samsung on their site?

Because Samsung and Sprint clearly cannot get their stories straight and their sh*t together!!

because its not really a bad update. there is nothing wrong with it besides user error in flashing it and there is nothing wrong with the update that a hard reset shouldnt fix.

I wouldn't say user errors. You have to remember 95% of Epic users don't know about xda, don't care about rooting, and don't know anything about their phone except what is already on it. If they get an update from Sprint and it breaks their phone that isn't their fault and hard resetting is a crappy way to fix it.

as many people came out of the woodwork when eb13 dropped, id have to say that the number of users that dont know about xda is slimming down to way less than 50 percent. cnn even mentioned you could get froyo here. im really curious about the percentage of problems caused by getting the acual ota, as opposed to people who used the update methods from here.
also, i dont think a full reset is that bad. gmail and the social networks save your cantacts. use a backup program for the .apks and you should be set. who ghives a **** if someone looses thier angry birds data? not me.

Yeah, actually EB13 is perfect. It just needs a clean slate. It's sad that it's getting such a bad rep.

Except that a hard reset doesn't fix the bad 3G speeds. Guess that qualifies as "nothing wrong" eh?

Man, I was on (stock) EB13 when it first dropped and it was perfect. Then went to the MIUI and CM6.2 and tried to go back to stock EB13 and had problems for a whole damn day. Signal was constantly going from 3-4 bars to 0, data was slow and barely working. Cutting in and out all the time. I wanted to blame EB13 and I did..then I found out there was even a problem with my mom's Evo and she was experiencing the same problem(s). So those having those network issues, I say wait it out and see if it fixes itself because it has for me.

bad 3g speeds are completely coincidental. my 3g speeds and wifi speeds have increased. guess that qualifies as "winning" eh?

Noob here.

On Thursday, I downloaded Froyo from the Sammy site and updated via SD card. It went fine, and I have not experienced any issues.

I was stock Eclair.
