UPDATE: The Over the Air (OTA) firmware update issues have now been resolved.
At the end of last week a new Over the Air (OTA) 12.6 MB firmware update was released for the Samsung Z1. Unfortunately there has been an issue with the update, that we hoped would be resolved by today, but that has not happened yet. The good news is that the update is now available by using the Kies Software application on your Windows or Mac machine, and also a firmware file (not OTA) is available to download measuring in at 362 MB.
