Sprint has been scaling back its [upgrade perks](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/sprint-changing-return-policy-tomorrow-nixing-premier-program-a/) for more than a year, and another just met its end -- momentarily. The carrier has confirmed to us and _Android Central_ that it's freezing its Upgrade Now program, which lets subscribers pay extra for a quicker hardware refresh than usual. While Sprint can't provide an explanation at present, or say how likely it is we'll see a revival, it does offer a glimmer of hope: the company asks that we "check back later" to see if Upgrade Now returns. No doubt many customers would rather have it be matter of when, not if, they can resume upgrading on a quicker schedule.
