With that said, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! Samsung will void our warranty if we change or update the firmware.. This latest firmware is still in beta version. Why should we take that risk?

        bennyben, 23 Nov 2009all the firmwares from darkforest are made by samsung. so, ... moreMaybe they are from Samsung, maybe not, who knows if any changes have been made to the firmware.

        Also phone firmwares are optimised for the country they are for, so wait for the official one for your country.

              I agree with luke. It's very risky & dangerous to install this latest firmware especially if you are from Asia & has the Jet S8003. It's not yet official & The site is really not from Samsung..

                          Why would you risk your phone by putting this unofficial software on it.

                          Just wait for an official release which from the sounds of things isn't ready yet.

                            Is s8000 a smartphone that's why it gets firmware updates? How about pixon 12?
