T-Mobile to fling Froyo at Samsung Galaxy S guys

Update coming this month

Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

T-Mobile UK has confirmed that its Samsung Galaxy S smartphone customers will be getting Android 2.2 at the end of the month.

Curiously, it's not being delivered over the air, but rather through the Kies application Samsung ships with its handsets. That means you'll need a Windows PC on which to install Kies, download the update and transfer the new firmware to the phone.

And T-Mobile has confirmed that the update will only be made available through Kies - which makes us wonder if the OS is coming from Samsung itself rather than the operator. If is is, there's nothing on Samsung's support site yet. ®

Don't Upgrade!

Anyone who hasn't updated to 2.2 on t-mobile I would advise to wait or just not bother. Updated my Desire a few nights ago and a previously silk smooth phone has become glitchy. Couple of other people on t-mobile I know are having similar experiences. Nothing critical or glaring, but lots of little glitches that build up to be a right freakin pain in the ass.

Wait!!!

Can anyone tell us poor G2/hero users when the trained monkeys at Flea-Mobile will provide us with the 2.0 update that was promised to us.
