It looks like AT&T branded Samsung Infuse 4G owners are required to upgrade their handsets using Samsung Kies software. AT&T has provided a special page on Samsung’s website to download the Gingerbread update for Infuse 4G handset. But the page is not working right now as it is redirecting to “Page Not Found” error. AT&T hasn’t mentioned if the Gingerbread update is also being rolled out through OTA (over-the-air) process or not. But, we will inform as soon as the AT&T provided Samsung Page runs live. So, stay tuned for further details.
