I think it's only for Spain. Other countries will getting end of September. That what I heard.
probably needs time to translate the ROM from English to Spanglish
Well, if what they currently have is remotely similar to the leaked JPH firmware, I bet that end of October sounds more reasonable as a release date. I don't think they are ready yet.

If JPH is what they have at the begining of September, they still have much work to do. I'm not accepting a Froyo ROM that has bugs that were not present on Android 2.1 ROMs, it would be absurd.
for India too it has been postponed to October WTF!
This better be a great firmware that is fast enough... I mean delY after delay..i think the perception now is ... It better be good.
Having said that jph to me has been the greatest firmware so far... No problems..
Hey let them take the time if they can produce a better firmware.
A few people still report issues with it so why not.
I'm in no hurry. People are so impatient these days.
+1.
Better get a decent firmware 1 month later than get crap now and have them not evolve it anymore.
Of course, both worlds would be better. A free lunch either!

hell yes, take all the time you need samsung (reasonably), dont give us crap.
Yeah, Samsung is staying true to tradition in either delaying all updates or not releasing at all. Very disappoint after they release such an awesome product.
In the earlier post i read that oct is date for india too. This is real bad news for indian sgs owners because i for one was waiting for sept last week release. I hope this piece of news is not true.

This news is true. I am just pissed off. Samsung is such a big company and it cant even iron out few obvious bugs. the great thing is that samsung has not even confirmed that they will fix the lag. They have not even accepted that their RFS is ****. If HTC and Motorola can release the good froyo builds in less time, then why not smasung? I dont think their touchwiz UI will take more time than HTC sense UI. Samsung just cares for money. They got the money, now they will concentrate on other new models.This is my last phone from samsung.

Also my last samsung phone
HTC is also not God's gift to the cellphone world ... Not all HTC phones have froyo yet ( Legend and Wildfire for example) Here in the netherlands the Legend was released before the desire but still no update to froyo not even a date for the eventual update .. there was an ota update for the legend about 2 motns ago with lots of bugs .. No word from htc about that and even worse not even an update that fixes the problems .. The 2.2 update for the Desire also wasn't without problems .. What I am saying is : the grass is allways greener on the other side ..but when you take a closer look you will see the truth

what the hell you guys upset about? it's a good phone yes, it does what it needs to do yes, so you see there is no problem and it's only a figment of your imagination.
besides that I believe that Samsung outsources their coding jobs to third parties what would explain constant delays because outsourcing stuff always gives delays as you have little grip on the company you outsource it to.
so in the end it all makes sense and stop blaming Samsung for trying ;O
I'm looking forward to a stable update that might even bring some benefits.
But come on, grow some patience. If they did have a launch plan for late September and during testing decided it wasn't ready yet, well, so be it. Meanwhile the phone do what its supposed to do better then my old phone and with a gadget factor of 1000 more on top of that. CIV V will be out, the autumn TV-series are appearing and between that and working end of october will be here in no time...
at least HTC flagship device like Desire is not as problematic as ours. Do u see any premier device from any of the top companies has lagging problem like the Galaxy S? (and x10 )
if not because of this problem, i dont give a damn on froyo. i dont need flash, because I've used to iPhone for the whole 2009. Wireless tethering is already available in SGS' 2.1 rom.. i just need a smooth device for my daily use! and i spent MYR2600 to get this phone which equivalents to average fresh graduates salary in my country.
personally I'm not too bothered at the moment as with jm7 (can't be bothered to go to jm8 unless there is a very good reason to put the hours in again) and the voodoo fix along with autokiller set to strict my phone is very nice to use now and does everything I need it to anyway.
It is a little disappointing to have to wait even longer, but I'm absolutely not surprised as I said all along I think it'll be near xmas before we get a good solid froyo firmware with not too many bugs in; besides, I've got a feeling that this will be a big anti climax anyway... I certainly won't be expecting the huge link scores of the nexus one, but my device proves already it has the potential to run as fast anyway already.
Tbh I'd settle for the niggles being ironed out and am not too concerned yet for the os version; for the time being I'm more concerned on the end result.
I too though won't be buying another samsung device of any kind, not because of the froyo debacle, but because every samsung product I've bought has been sub par.
Just got a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Extremely fast phone! Not too keen on Sammy's Touch Wiz UI but I'm sure there is/will be a ROM without it in the S2 thread (?). I'll look.
Just thought I'd let you know that a loyal user of these great dev's work is moving on :') Thanks for making my time with my X10 bearable.
Enjoy your gingerbread, and the completed custom kernel when it comes
FYI: Just got a score of 3360 on Quadrant on the Galaxy S2 *multiple faints*
Damn it! Those guys still haven't released it here

It's just came on the market here, a few days ago.
OK . It was supposed to release on April 18th. Got pushed back to May and now probably a month more.
I personally am very patient( or lazy ) but this is testing my patience.
Sad news for an amazing phone
https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
Yeah just posted that on the ICS thread.
Never buying an Moto ever again.
Still hoping that they do release SOMETHING for the Euro model which can be ported though.
Wow... just wow. What the **** happened to this being a flagship phone? Delays, yes, those were to be expected with their track record but... methinks I'll be going out of my way to tell people to avoid this sorry excuse for a company.
Being stuck with it until March (not everyone has the luxary of upgrading whenever they feel like it), I really hope our devs pull through and get CM9/10 in better shape.
This is wery bad, we are ****ed up. Soon I sale my Moto, buy S3, and newer deal with Moto again. So sad I love Moto before, now I hate they.

Bye-bye moto...keep your $100 upgrade voucher!
Glad my upgrade date was in July.. come on Note II, I have an upgrade waiting for you!! :victory:
Seriously where is it? i've been waiting for months now, i thought that it was going to be announced at google I/O, but nothing. What do you think are they going to release it or not?
Maaannnn I tired of waiting...
You are so right!
Im holding on to my good-old GTI9250 but the damn thing is too tired and ready to give up on me any day....
I was waiting for a device a can say has a good solid 2 years to hold on to and the S5 GPE looked like it!
but now...i think i need to find another option....
I bought the normal snapdragon version but I would like to flash the gpe rom...I hope they will release it soon :|
Anyone has any news on this? Or at this point its probably not going to be released?
A s5 with a "official" stock rom would be great Although touchwiz improved, it still has some lag sometimes and this would probably fix it.
OREO is NOT coming!!!
Here's why:

Of course it does!
I've said it before and I'll say it again it's the best phone Samsung has made yet!
"nothing is confirmed until Samsung makes a public statement on the matter"
That's also on the same page you shared.
We have a pŕopability to get it unofficially as A8 2016 is pretty close to your S6 device. We just have to wait until Oreo for A8 will be released
Look, I do hope we'll all get that update but I'm just providing some news on that matter.
If we get Oreo, we will be the last phone from that biggest unofficial list.
Samsung is willing to try everything to convince us to upgrade cause the brand knows that we have the best phone ever
