This sucks bigtime, atleast with iPhone everybody knows the upgrade date. Android may be a good OS, but the upgrading process is so damn broken.
Eish! Bad Luck is all over around me. My Samsung Galaxy S screen is cracked and the Gorilla glass is still intact no scractch whatsoever, what's even worse the phone did not fall, it was in my front pocket

What I mean is that certain cellphone carriers get personalised os revisions installed and don't allow software updates (eg nokia 5800 xpressmusic). I wanna know if the Galaxy S gonna be the same.

Just flash the European froyo on your phone. This will also debrand the phone for you

Indeed. There's nothing better than running a fresh, unbranded firmware on your phone.

+1 Running the EU version, and it's happy.
Don't forget to OCLF your device, makes it feel 10x smoother.

If you're running Froyo, there are tons of other, BETTER, options to OCLF.
How did you get the EU one running? If I tunnel through a European proxy, will the update show up on Kies?

No, it's based on the CSC code settings stored in the registry for KIES.

It is the lagfix. I used it before I upgraded to froyo, made it feel really fast, but when I still got a bit of lag sometimes. With froyo I just use the ext 4 filesystem and it work really well. Froyo is definitely much better than the previous one.
Apparently SA is not to be felt that left out in terms of not receiving Froyo as it seems North America is waiting as well.

Honestly you could just change your CSC entries and go to an international i9000 ROM. On one of the US versions of the Galaxy S and right now it's leaks and re-orientation kernels.
Yes, all versions of galaxy s will get froyo. Rollout has started but its regional and carrier specific. I have been running 2.2 for 2 month on mine and the official version through Kies for 3 weeks. Have a European version though. Unbranded SA versions will probably get updated in December. Branded ones, who knows... That'll depend on the carriers
