AndroidNZ: [Breaking News] Galaxy Note release date and price confirmed!
495 pounds + VAT, Nov 1st.
Samsung Mobile Ireland mentioned that it would be released here next month but the state this country is in i cant see that many sales
Gonna wait for the Galaxy S3 myself,happy with my 5 month SGSII, anyone upgrading must have plenty of money
i thought it was coming next year. that's really good news
Before this most recent date was the 17th of November, so I'm stoked!
Already posted in the general forum where it belongs.
Posted here well before there, and excuse me for thinking that Galaxy S II owners might have more interest in this than all comers?
There are much of comments from frustrated Galaxy S II users that are waiting for Jelly Bean update for their devices.
As we can’t currently confirm the deploy date, we can assure you all that samsung is working hard to bring JB to your devices as soon as possible.
Our insiders which are currently working to provide ROM’s for Samsung devices, confirms that the latest version pushed for internal tests is I9100XXLSX and also our internal contacts hinted that it may be based on Jelly Bean 4.2 (They can’t confirm it 100% as they don’t know which build with be finnaly picked up for public, so it may be 4.1, but hey, it’s still JB).
Stay tunned, as we will gather some more information release may be sooner than any of us expect

gotta love those bad literal translations in the URL..... 'samsung-is-hardly-working' when I went to school 'hardly working' translates to NOT BEING BOTHERED OR NOT ENOUGH (BARELY) working on the update lol
Aaannnddd you're done.

Ah so its gonna be released 3 or 4 months ago? People get annoyed with comments like mine, but it in fact serves a dual purpose. If Samsung has any gumption (which is debatable) they would be checking large communities like XDA to get a gauge of their customers level of satisfaction with their products. It also serves to add another negative mark in the public subconscious against Samsung, so fewer people make the mistake of buying Samsung products (especially if they feel it acceptable to treat their customers so flippantly) in future.
guys are still waiting?
my patience ran out a month ago,
Jelly Bean 4.2.1
In the extremely unlikely event it turns out to be Android 4.2, prepare for waiting a lot more as its illogical Samsung will release 4.2 for the SII before it has done so for its current year devices.

XDA GS2 users would make up a extremely small percentage of their overall customers of the device. 99% of GS2 users wouldn't have a clue that its possible to even change the OS via ODIN/recovery never mind the OTA updates.

Exactly. Though, at this point it would do great for their damaged reputation to release 4.2 after all these delays with jb update. Still, I see it as an extremely unlikely scenario.

Of course it must be frustrating for all those guys out there who doesn't know or are scared to use modded ROM and Kernels to be always up to date...
I find it hard to believe here on XDA that any of the users would be affraid to do so with all the roms and help available for all the taste!
Already with JB 4.2.1 and lovin' it
You guys complain about Samsung not releasing updates, but you should note that Samsung is the only company updating devices to Jelly Bean so far. Sony, LG and specially Motorola are still stuck on ICS. I know it is frustrating to wait this long but Samsung is releasing it which is a win by itself.

In late September, an Asus manager said that the upgrade would reach users in the U.S. and Canada "within the next 72 hours"; a day later, the company went on to say that the Infinity's rollout would begin on Friday, September 27.

• Motorola Droid Razr HD [UPDATED 12/6/12]: Motorola and Verizon Wireless started rolling out Jelly Bean to the Droid Razr HD on December 3, 2012. Like most over-the-air upgrades, the rollout is taking place in phases, which means it'll reach a subset of users each day of the course of several days.

• Samsung Galaxy S III [UPDATED 1/17/13]: Samsung started rolling out the Android 4.1 upgrade to its Galaxy S III phone in September of 2012.

People, you don't really get it? do you? is not just an "update" that we are really complaining about, we don't even care if this next update is JB. We are complaining about all bugs & security vulnerabilities that samsung haven't fixed on s2 since they released ICS and of course: the real source code & docs!. I was waiting JB update on my S2 for selling this cheap plastic crappy overvalued phone, but it seems i will have to sell it before. I don't want the next owner of my phone to be so disappointed of this "2011's phone of the year".
Great news.. having JB 4.2 will be great. (seems like i cant post in development thread until i get 10 post counts)
"I want my jb. And I want it now! Not tomorrow, not the day after, but now!"
First time said two months ago. Still waiting.
Joke: It's google's fault, they should wait until all the manufacturers had their versions ready to release the new android version. We would still be stuck in Froyo.
AW: Have no fear! Samsung is hard working to bring Jelly Bean to Galaxy S II (GT-I910

R: Have no fear! Samsung is hard working to bring Jelly Bean to Galaxy S II (GT-I9100
the leak is already in good shape. Some delay could be related to the exynos vulnerability, and if this will being us 4.2 will be great!
Buy yes, the real issue is with source code and exynos docs, the lack of which is causing develops to drop S2 development.

You're not happy? Don't ever buy a Sammie phone again. Simple, that's the only argue they can understand.
