Soon so many people can download it from Kies or use Odin for it for Official one..CAN'T WAIT

I wish they just release the source code for the 2.3.4 kernels xD

That's not official, so we will have to wait and see! I hope so, because then we can get 2.3.4 source for custom kernels

I hope is August....2011.

Deja vu. We already saw the same message in June, saying "Samsung are going to release 2.3.4. in July". Maybe this time it will happen...or maybe not. Then we will see this for September. Sooner ot later, they will gues right.

Was thinking the same, plus they seem to be miles away from a good fw release, since day one the major issues have been the AOS bug, the pink spot camera, the gradients, all still present in KG3, which even added more bugs like the fc while playing flash content...

Keep in mind the tweet's from samfirmware, not Samsung. Since May, he/they have posted about five "X is coming by X" messages and they've been wrong all five times. With phone's already shipping with 2.3.4 in some parts of the world I'd say we'll start seeing updates soon. Maybe I should tweet that - it would be as accurate a guess as samfirmware's.

Why doesn't Samsung tweet official ETA's ?

Why should they? They've committed to nothing at the time we bought the phone and publicizing dates and then potentially not hitting them would just piss people off. Besides, this way, it's kind of like Christmas.

Now August, it was July first. Ehh..

Can't wait !!!

I was talking with Samsung today and I asked "so we can expect the 2.3.4 in next 30 days for sgs2" and Sammy guys told me it will be before but they dont know exactly when still no information... They dont know the date ...
Also they said that they are planning to release Ginger for SGS next month (or this for some countries dunno) and 2.3.4 version in september - October

which firmware KIES need detect to make the 2.3.4 available?
2.3.3 with 2.3.3 kernel and 2.3.3 CSC??

i am interested in the answer to that last post also.
i updated my s2 to KE7 through odin as KIES wasnt offering it to vodafone handsets quick enough. will kies even offer it to me when it is available?

I don't think they forgot, so much as omitted.
Probably mid-June
The official release sounds like it's going to be June but as Cyanogen pointed out on Twitter yesterday, Froyo source is already tricking into AOSP which means between now and release, CM will have more and more Froyo features.
there is a beta, right?
Engadget says they got a beta of both 2.2 and adobe's 10.1 flash player on their demo phone. If Adobe and google are sending these out, someone is going to dump the ROM and it will be available here. I'm itching for some frozen yougart...

So... you have sole rights to speculate about the release date? That's all anyone here is doing, there is not official or even leaked word about the date from anyone in the know. It's just based on Adobe's June release for Flash 10.1.
If someone posts a thread about the release, feel free to complain to them for double-posting but not the rest of us who are just helping the people that don't know how to search.

Nexus One owners will be delighted to learn that Android 2.2 is available as an OTA update beginning today. Google also confirmed that late model devices like the Motorola Droid, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire and HTC Incredible are scheduled to get the update soo

Sammy says Froyo for Vibrant in November, right?

Will it happen?
Really........i don't care much anymore I'm already running 2.2 actually I wish it was already out so I could stop hearing about it but then it will just become about 2.3
Still flashing , thanks to odin
I haven't seen SamsungUSA officially state that 2.2 would appear in November for the US Galaxy S series yet.

MODs
please create an Update Status section and move all these threads over there.
Does it really matter? we have had froyo for quite awhile now and I am sure the custom roms we have available are better than the bloatware infested stock that we would get from any official release. I couldn't care less if sammy ever releases froyo at this point.
apparently we're getting the real deal today, nov 30th, and if not, tomarrow via kies. T-Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S getting FroYo
Froyo has already been around for the Vibrant, what is needed is the 2.2 kernel source so the devs can optimize that and work out the small bugs like the 3.5mm jack for phone calls in Froyo...

Even the people who couldn't read should have been able to look at the pictures in the linked article which clearly show the three button (instead of 4) i9000 Galaxy S device.
DUDE use the ****ing search or google or something and wise your ass up, these threads are getting stupid as hell opening every single day. IF you want froyo then FLASH IT, why do you think the stock one will be that good? it will have lag from the RFS system, no root, chances are the ones that are out now are just as good as sammys or better, and will only improve when the real one comes out.
t-Mobile UK already delayed the Release of Froyo to it's customers. No reason given, but It was supposed to be released via Kies yesterday and no one go it. So a few sources are saying it is/will be delayed yet again.
Samsung told me the other day on Twitter that, "it's coming soon" that same BS, and they actually told me they were "abandoning" the Galaxy S phones (after I said they were...). Then I asked about if we would actually really see it before the end of December and they assured me we would.
I call BS on anything they say anymore about updates, we won't see 2.2 (OFFICIALLY) from T-Mobile or Samsung by the end of this year.

It still is May.
As this is finally stated in a real honest-to-god press release from Samsung (and not on the Facebook page of the assistant receptionist for a Samsung retailing in Kazakhstan), I think this time the date can be believed...however, isn't it ALREADY mid-May? So it is rolling out any day now?
Also, looking at the list of phones Sammy is updating I think I understand better why they pulled the mid April update. Beyond needing a little more baking, they also wanted to roll out the Gingerbread update to all their relevant devices all at the same time to reap the PR noise (such as the Engadget article). Consider the mid April release a limited test run in a couple markets, I guess.
This press release are good news for many, I am sure. Me, I will continue rocking the CM7 2.3.4 goodness, thank you very much.
For the last week have been getting the message to upgrade my firmware to PDA:JS8 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS5 (O2I) but keeps on failing, so hopefully it will be sorted this week...;. but BTY is the 16th not the middle of the month?
But it rolled out several days, almost weeks ago? :s
Ah, maybe for XEU and others? Since XEE and NEE got JVH already.
Let's hope its soon xeu
The Nordics got it two weeks ago now, with no apparent problems. Why are we still waiting for a UK rollout?

Is JVH Beta then?
Well no, if it's still on Kies for XEE and NEE.
It'll just be deployed in other countries as well. Scandinavia has always been the first to get updates.
Samsung shd giv a schedule on which date which countries will get the update . . .
Is it possible they meant to state "Mid June"? It seems very odd to announce a release past the middle of the month for the middle of the same month?!

Simple to answer: SGS2!
not eagerly waiting as cm7 did a great job with sgs
for me not going to move to it until i make sure that the speed is same
I'm using CM7 for a week now. I don't think to go back to a Sammy ROM. Sammy's SGS will always lag behind official Android. It was fun to hunt for the latest leak for some month. But now I enjoy watching others hunt for the newest ROM and complain endlessly.

It's available now, i got 2.3.3 JVO, via kies on an unlocked sgs

No more i9100 firmware updates for now.

So SamFirmware stated via twitter that there will be no releases for now =/
Cant believe sammy will stick to that buggy KG5/6/7
"SamFirmware SamFirmware
There are no new I9000 and I9100 roms end this month new I9003!"
"SamFirmware SamFirmware
There are no new I9000 and I9100 at the moment. By end this month we will release a new I9003 rom."
Aren't you guys in Brazil one of the few who got kg5/6/7 officially?
I think only Poland in Europe has it (can't remember which) so far.
I like (the unofficial) KG6, not in any rush for official release, except for my country of residence's language keyboard.
I like that attitude by Samsung and appreciate it, also hope they will take their time and come back with a stable version. I hate this too fast updates. They basically do nothing but keep us waiting for another update.

This is good news if they stop the updates and just release a single update every other month or so to really fix things instead of incremental updates, this is why I havent even started to customize the looks on my phone.
Might be if Samfirmware was actually Samsung .

Since May, they've been correct with dates or information about 10% of the time. They're also intentionally cryptic so you have no idea whether they're speaking for themselves or implying that they're speaking for Samsung itself.
They (Samfirmware) are a good source of info (sometimes) but only SAMSUNG know what SAMSUNG is doing not SAMYFAMYFIRMWARE
