The software update is for either the phone's firmware, or the PRL.

You can check this site -

compare your phone model's firmware & PRL versions to what's listed on the

I've never heard of an A680 being able to update itself automatically
like that. It was supposed to have OTA firmware updating but Sprint
never implemented it.
