Hey guys,
Well with the way things are looking (obviously), it's taking forever and a day to get any update from Samsung. With that being said, would you guys rather get Froyo now and wait 5 months after every update (so we're later than everybody else) our would you rather just skip Froyo and get Gingerbread, say, a year from now?
Me, I'd rather get constant improvements even if they are late, rather than one lump sum a year and a half later.
What about you guys?

Samsung announced that all SGS phones will have Froyo by the end of November. They've already started the rollout in Europe.

They were giving away golden toilets with the purchase of a vibrant back in september.
I don't even care anymore to be honest. Too many people whining and complaining about it not being here has ruined its appeal. Just going to stick to custom ROMS and call it day

Umm, never gonna happen. Sombionix will more likely create a new series of Fusion-esqe ROMs based on the JPM release.

Link to Samsung Romania post: http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileRomania/posts/189412624430604
A post on Samsung Mobile Romania's Facebook page seems to suggest that Romanian Galaxy S phones (and presumably other European models) may see an official update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread by the end of March.
Translated into English and cleaned up a little, the post reads:
"The update to version 2.2.1 for Galaxy S will be available until 20 March, and Gingerbread (2.3) until the end of the month."
Our Romanian is a little rusty, but we think it's safe to assume the last part of that statement means either "it'll arrive by the end of the month", or "it won't arrive until the end of the month". Either way, it looks like the European Galaxy S could soon claim bragging rights as the first non-Nexus phone to get an official Gingerbread update. HTC has announced that Gingerbread will be coming to some of its older phones, but these updates aren't due until sometime in the second quarter.
Samsung Romania also adds that two of its budget phones, the i5500 Galaxy 5 and i5800 Galaxy 3, will be updated to Froyo by Mar. 20 and Mar. 31 respectively. [Samsung Romania Facebook via Crave]

The universal kernel is for 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs only.
Also, it's not a universal kernel, it's a universal settings.apk that's been fixed for us.

That's great and all - really it is. But didn't the first Froyo releases already come out in Europe by September? Yet the Vibrant didn't get Froyo for another 4 months...
so what this means is... a year till we get gingerbread?

I don't really know the history of the Vibrant, (Picked it up off Craigslist 2 months ago) but this at least gives me some hope.
God, getting Gingerbread on the Vibrant would be AMAZING. It would increase the speed, and once the source is released, we would see some awesome gingerbread ROM's for it.
Just one gingerbread leak for vibrant, then we will be back in business.

Seriously. All they need is the driver sources + the kernel and CM7 would become amazing.
Hopefully somebody will be able to port it quickly if T-Mobile foes not roll out the rom in the same timeframe...
Tmobile said they would be more up to speed on updates. Take that for what you want it to mean.
That is all I gotta say about this subject.

+1. This was released by T-mo after 2.2 was released on kies for the vibrant. So hopefully we'll get gingerbread alot faster than froyo. And hopefully the first of the U.S galaxy S phones to be updated again.
If the Vibrant gets an official Gingerbread update EVER I will buy a Galaxy Tab immediately.

That would explain why we haven't seen many 2.3.4 firmware updates. Let's hope so...
Maybe we'll have Ice Cream Sandwich firmwares in October/November as well, just before the Nexus Prime release

ICS or nothing.;p
LOL, ICS.
Even if it is released October/November, we still will have to wait quite some time for it.
I am not quite sure but, despite the fact that Nexus S and Galaxy S are almost the same phone, it took Samsung like 3-4 months to update to Gingerbread.
(If I recall right the Nexus S was released in January and the update rolled out in May)
Whatever, I hope there will be leaked firmwares so we can update anyways.

No way we'll be able to get it before the nexus prime release. Google would never allow it to happen. It think, at least...

good news people
Samfirmware says it doesn't mean anything, they said 2.3.4 was coming out every month that month until they got it right.
Dears,
Samsung is giving Value Pack for Galaxy S, S plus next month based on android 2.3.6 with ICS features just heard the news but they will not give 4.0.3

and the firmware version "will" be I9000XXJVU
That firmware is already available in the xda-developers forum for some time now
Now that we tested it, it's going to be released to the general public.

Will this be the last update for S
will it be the last update?
Sure?
last for sgs and sgs+?

Yes.
Galaxy S, in the eyes on Samsung, has fulfilled his purpose.
But in XDA eyes, it still has a lot to offer!
If you are too afraid to flash an ICS rom on it, you should probably do yourself a favor and throw it to the trash can and buy an iPhone, that gives you plenty of features to afraid (and rich) people.

Obviously this value pack is going to be none other than the JVU that we've already seen here for ages. Nothing new and nothing special.

The value pack is available for the SGS, and is a really cool firmware - possibly the best firmware until now from Samsung.
This is for the international version. Possibly a similar package for other regions and operators.
Since that ROM was leaked, no other leak for the i9000 for long time. I don't expect any other ROM for the SGS from Samsung.
There are some developers here working on the ICS for the SGS. At this point, the only think we're asking from Samsung is to release the source to support the continued development.
it is leaked for SGS only i think not SGS + as i m SGS+ user i didn't find that so it is new for me.there are also less roms for SGS+ and till now there is no ICS rom (unofficial) for SGS+ so for me its bad experience with samsung

S2 is not lucky its a beast which can handle anything you throw at it!
They also say Note 2 which isn't even announced so let's see how long it takes to give S3 an update, release Note 2, give it the update, update the S2 and Note
Looks like a long time to me

Samsung never said that they won't update, it was some sh*tty site which said that.
Yea they said it will be released but the question is when...eta will be after release of key lime pie
Or a "jellybean value pack" in an ICS rom with some touchwiz ux launcher and other apps considered bloat.
IN CODEWORKX WE TRUST.
wooo finally.
Can just imagine them making jellybean. All there firmware looks the same with there touch wiz and basic looking lock screen, be nice if they would at least have a transparent notification draw but at least the devs might be able to use it for spare bits
