Sprint Epic 4G Touch and US Cellular Galaxy S II ICS updates are official, start rolling out today

[![][1] ][2]

Just as the [leak last night indicated][3], Samsung is finally ready to deliver Ice Cream Sandwich to [Sprint's Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch][4]. Samsung also announced today that [US Cellular's similar but WiMAX-less SCH-R760 Galaxy S II][5] is getting the same FF18 update as well. The changelogs are available at the source links below, interestingly Android Beam is mentioned since these devices lack NFC, it's hard to see how that could be on the list. US Cellular users can download and install the update right now using a SimpleDL tool on a Windows PC, however unfortunately there's no support for any other operating systems at this time. On Sprint the update is coming out OTA and will slowly arrive on devices over the next few days, but if you're impatient then we'd keep an eye on the thread at _XDA Developers_ for reports on how well it works as well as some sideloaded workarounds.
