Sprint 4G Overdrive – Firmware Update
Another firmware update (1.07) has been released by Sprint for the Sprint Overdrive. The update promises to bring:

* More stable downloads over 3G connections.
* Fixes to the Wi-Fi driver to prevent freezing & crashing.
Sprint 4G Firmware Update for Overdrive

* Better 4G signal acquisition
* Improved battery status indicator
* Addresses inability to browse the Internet when connected to 4G
That last point seems pretty crucial :-) The Overdrive firmware update can be downloaded from Sprint 4G.
