If they release a CDMA version of this phone.. and enough source code.. it could probably easily be ported to Sprint. The original nexus was slated to come to Verizon and Sprint, maybe this one will actually make it, with identical hardware a "port" may not even be needed if we get a sprint version.
I suspect more and more that we will see 2.3 someday anyways, if Samsung bails on 2.3 when they basically have the entire thing made up on us this will be my last Samsung device heh

"Samsung Galaxy S [UPDATED 4/7/11]: All signs point to Gingerbread being in the cards for Samsung's popular Galaxy S line of phones. That includes the Samsung Captivate on AT&T, Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile, and Samsung Fascinate on Verizon (which as of now has yet to even receive Froyo). Rumors started popping up in January that some Galaxy S phones could see an Android 2.3 upgrade as early as March or April. Samsung's official Samsung Mobile India Twitter account, meanwhile, has stated numerous times that the Galaxy S will receive Gingerbread -- version 2.3.3 -- but that a definite launch date has not been set. Samsung's Romanian Facebook page has issued similar promises. In late March, software said to be a leaked version of Samsung's official Galaxy S Gingerbread update surfaced on an Android developers' forum, heightening speculation that a rollout could be near. In addition to all of that, Samsung's Finnish site has now posted a news release stating that Gingerbread will reach Galaxy S handsets "in mid-April.""
Another good article to read from Lifehackerwith a spreadsheet of release dates.

lol "Troll".
Well, let's see, even if gingerbread were CLOSE to being released, don't think of the Galaxy S as a sign.
First of all, the Galaxy S is Samsung's MAIN FLAGSHIP device, AND Galaxy S's are only released in Europe, I believe.
So therefore, even if Samsung had a finished product of 2.3 for us by mid-april, Sprint's going to have to add their crap to it and **** it up some more, make it even more buggier than Samsung achieved, and send an OTA that will have to be pulled the day after it comes out because it'll fry people's phones. SOOO, if we WERE to get Gingerbread, I'd say by August-Mid September at the earliest.
Sorry for bringing your hopes down...just stating the facts.

It says Galaxy S, I know. But we do not have the Galaxy S i9000, we have a phone in the same "family" as the Galaxy S i9000, but that is the first and main focus of Samsung's Galaxy S family. And I know we will get the update sooner or later, I'm just saying don't give your hopes up for a release this month.
I think Im more excited about cm7 than an official gingerbread from Samsung

Official Gingerbread, would not only speed up CM7 development but allow for OCing kernels for CM.

I support and agree 100% with this message.
I'm just hoping they get 4G figured out. I live around the Chicago area, so to have it and then not...well, that would kind of suck. Not sure I'm willing to give it up, even for the sweetness CM7 is/will be.

Very true! I would much rather have a fully functional CM7 than a Samsung/Sprint GB

Looks like more pundits taking 'twitter' as a valid source... and one for OTHER COUNTRIES that use the i9000.... the SAME as the rumor about froyo from what, samsung Twit UK??? None of the Twits in the article said anything about the US variants, just the writer of the article... typical... tech media reach so far for a story. Besides, I wouldn't even trust a US Twit, look at the SamsungJohn thing... they could just be sharing their feelings like when they talk about how good their sushi was today... social networking crap isnt news, its crap. Facebook is not a government insider... its just a site for douchebaggery.
+1 on CM and MIUI! But GB source for them would be good, no?
I'd expect a GB port from the Nexus S 4G long before we get anything official...

Eh, the only thing that the nexus s 4G may help us is the 4G working much earlier than expected. That's pretty much the only similarity

I hope this is a release that is worthy of development for the Fascinate I look forward to see whats next. Our devs so incredible work and i hope this will help them with future development.
This was released two days ago. The code is for international version. Can't do anything with it.

This really doesn't mean much of anything, just like the Froyo version didn't really help us. If Samsung's code wasn't horrible, then yeah. But it is.
(apparently even Samsung's Froyo source for our phone didn't particularly help with AOSP/CM/MIUI porting efforts... yes, Samsung's developers are that bad)

It didn't help because Samsung isn't required to release the source for the parts that are causing the biggest issues. They released what they had to based on the licensing, but that didn't include any of their proprietary code, which is where the problems lie.
FYI
For those who missed it
Remember a Kies update was pushed 10 days ago (for those who actually use it)
Well the UK has been getting the 2.3 JVO version update for the last 4 days
http://www.techwafer.com/2011/05/18...-upgrade-for-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab/
Also the source code for GB was posted on the http://opensource.samsung.com/ ..... for the gt-9000 (euro galaxy phone)
Who knows when we will get it......... here in the USA
Wasn't there a thread a couple of minutes ago about a supposed official announcement from Samsung about GB on Vibrant? Was it deleted?
Anyway, As was already announced in the recent conference, we should be getting GB by the end of this month so...
all galaxy s series?
include T-mobile vibrant?
did it state vibrant?
The whole SGS line is getting 2.3, just the North America variants later than the I9000. The SGS of the article is the I9000.
The international version of SGS has no provider crapware. This is why they get updated ahead of the T959. I don't think TMO will let it out because if it does, their new android phones will not sell. Why would you want to buy a new phone that has 2.2 when you can have 2.3 on a already powerful enough, georgous looking phone?

True but I with the new enforced Google decisions on Android updates , that T-Mobile was part off, I can't see them delaying this any longer. We'll see the official GB by the end of this month me thinks.

End of this month? I doubt it.
Next month? Probably greater chances.
They give about 1-2Weeks of OTA/Kies updates usually.. so yep
well considering for 2.2 sprint was rumored to get it first, then all of a sudden t-mobile came out of no where with the update first. That's what i'm hoping will happen with 2.3. Sprint already has some leaked builds of 2.3 for the epic so we can only hope. But definitely should see it by the end of this month. If not we should harass google.
as i said before most of us will be on sg2 or hercules or other phones before we get gingerbread..the funny thing is i might be right
Wow I've been running gingerbread for almost 2 months now.
That's okay though when it does finally officially get released or even leaked for Vibrant we'll have every last bug out of Simply Honey while most others are just starting to dev on GB.

Speculating on when we are going to get Gingerbread officially from samsung is pointless, it will happen when it happens. Until then we should just continue supporting our devs that have been working so hard to bring us 90% working gingerbread roms such as Simply Honey, Asgard, or CM7, and any others I may have forgotten.
I'm pretty sure ICS came out late enough that Sprint and Samsung are not obligated to upgrade the Epic 4g to it. I'm also pretty sure we will not see an official ICS OTA upgrade.
So is there anything that could come in a GB OTA upgrade that would be useful to the developers here?
It seems as if a lot of Epic 4g development effort is dedicated to ICS as CM9 which is a good thing even though I'm not there yet.
So does anyone here care about Sprint/Samsung doing more GB development? Or have we gotten about all of the useful source we are going to get and the developers are essentially on their own from here?

Sprint/Samsung weren't obligated to update our devices to Gingerbread. It was sold under the premise that we would have Froyo, but not a revolving door of major OS upgrades. (Android Upgrade Alliance agreement defunct?)
There is development going on for EL30, our most recent OTA update of Gingerbread; as well as CM9, which is ICS based.
There is a leak labeled FB15, so it looks like there may be another official release being worked for our device. Keep in mind that it is still Gingerbread. So why are you asking about a "wishlist"?

I do not believe any "fixes" or improvements are going into the Epic. I do believe Sprint is looking for a less intrusive CIQ replacement to get their network data. So don't expect anything from Sprint or Samsung to help out the devs here. ICS ports are the future here and ICS official is not going to be on the Galaxy S series because of memory limitations due to the use of Samsung's proprietary BML File system.

I believe that's only relating to an OTA update. It would only make sense that a newly released device would have a shorter time frame.
