There's literally no better way to start your weekend than wish a new firmware build for your phone. Okay, maybe that's not true -- but it's definitely in our top ten list, which is why we're so excited to hear that Sprint has announced an official Android 2.2 upgrade for its version of the Samsung Intercept .
