Samsung has officially announced a big new firmware update for its i8910 HD, bringing faster web browsing, faster multimedia access and, most desired of all, full Symbian^2/N97-style kinetic scrolling in all dialogs and screens. See below for the press release text. The bad news? You'll have to wait until next month to get it, via PC Studio update.

From the press release:

"The new firmware improves the user experience by delivering faster Web browsing, an improved graphics engine and enhanced full-touch screen experience: 

• Webkit update: A faster user-interface when online, for swift navigation of your favourite websites 
• Graphic engine: An improved graphic engine, increasing the speed to access the multimedia content 
• Kinetic scrolling: The addition of a kinetic scrolling system provides a superior full-touch experience 

The firmware update will be available from January 2010 in the UK and gradually rolled out to other European markets, Southeast Asia, the Middle East Asia, Africa and rest of the world. "
