*Note: The update will remove the promotional Angry Birds pre-load from the device. If you’ve started playing the game, you would need to re-download from the Marketplace and start from the beginning of the game.
UPDATE 2/8: Samsung and AT&T are aware there is an issue with the Infuse 4G update that affects a small number of users. We currently have put a hold on the update while we are developing a fix.
UPDATE 4/5: The Samsung Infuse Update is available for download! Please visit http://www.samsung.com/us/infuseupgrade/gb1 to download the update.
Remember - The update resets the phone to the factory default settings. Please ensure that all data such as contacts, music, and photos, is backed up to the SD card or an alternate memory device (i.e., PC).

Load Kies mini, and see if the upgrade button allows you to upgrade.
The link provide is either wrong or yet to activated by Samsung.

I installed the Samsung Kies Mini and it says I have a "unregistered device", no option to upgrade

Thanks for the update seems the Upgrade hasn't rolled out yet since the Upgrade button is greyed out.

Just received notification from Samsung that they haven't made the page live yet. I've removed the link from my post & will put it back as soon as they let me know it's live.

Funny how this update comes MONTHS too late and WEEKS before ICS. Not to mention, the phone is now in "irrelevant" status. smh

Thanks for the update at last!
Why does this remove the promotional Angry Birds pre-load from the device?

The promo Angry Birds was part of the inital product launch that doesn't include updates and new levels, plus had a contest entry drawing associated with it that has since expired. Simply put, the free version in the Android Market is WAY better now.

What word? Oh, you mean the word where the update was supposed to be delivered last SEPTEMBER? This has fail written all over it on many levels. Samsung hardware is great, but updates shouldn't take a year. The majority of people have long since moved to a custom ROM thanks to the android OS. What they SHOULD have been working on was an ICS update instead...
And let's not get started on why AT&T is pretty much the only major carrier with NO new Google Nexus phone running ICS...

So I am all ready for this update to be released...installed Kies Mini...but it is saying Unregistered Device under Firmware version??? Also Phone Upgrade is grayed out but I assume that is because the update has yet to release. This is getting annoying FOR SURE. Waiting so long for Gingerbread now that ICS is out and they are developing Strawberry Shortcake. Always SO LATE. Thanks AT&T!!!
