Nokias have the "PC Suite"; Sony-Ericcsons have the "Sony Ericcson PC Tools", etc. Frequently these allow you to update the firmware on the device, but usually only to a version that's allowed by the network that branded it (T-Mobile, etc). I hve never had a Samsung phone so I don't know too much about them, but I'd say there's a good chance they stick to that format.
