Curiously, this marks the carrier's first update for the Galaxy S III. [Android Police, Sprint]   Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR Maxx: If you've yet to automatically receive notification of Android 4.0's availability, Verizon Wireless would like its customers to know that the latest OS update is now available to users of both these handsets via the manual routine.
