Yes, finally Gingerbread Update for Smasung Galaxy S,  Vibrant and Fascinate is happening. Last week Samsung Romania confirmed that Gingerbread should arrived March 20th but some issue in Kies which will deliver the Update make the delay. Official Samsung Galaxy S page just post a message to it’s user asking to Update Kies with the latest version Released V 2.0.0.11032_12. To answer a question they also mentioned that: “You Need this Update to be able to Get the 2.3.2 Update to your Samsung Galaxy S, Vibrant, Facinate. The 2.2.1 Froyo Update not For everyone Only for Italy, Romania, Germany. 2.3.2 will be Worldwide but carriers will be Delayed.”

Thanks jared88, already figured it out, thanks for your help though.

Very doubtful.  And Mini Kies doesn't even work with the Fascinate afaik.  And I wouldn't believe some no name blog either.

[jared88]

yup no problem.  Im sure its to good to be true.

[ireash]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

It said only for Romania, Italy......they already have 2.2 on Fascinate! We will not see this!

[M91-30]

you<reading, it says everyone will get gingerbread. the i900 (gsm) phones will get it the 30th, carrier specific updates will come later.

[roachman55]

But I want Banana Bread! Now we shall see how true all that is. Would Gingerbread be even better then the Froyo?

[ireash]

They also said Froyo by Feb????  Im just saying if they cant produce Froyo how would they give us Gingerbread men???? 

[SFObrien]

Gingerbread is just another step in the Android upgrade process.  The devices that will get it are already running Froyo I believe.  Wouldn't get your hopes to high thinking they will skip Froyo and go straight to Gingerbread.

But you never know.

[PJNC284]

oh the irony.  The US Cellular Mesmerize (also an SCH-I500)  was released after the Fascinate now has Froyo and the Epic just got it's 2nd 2.2 update.

[gsp10]

We Probably won't see it for a long time

[suzettea]

Here is the sad thing. When we get the update, it will probably make our phones worse, not better and all the people begging for the new update will then be begging to back. LOL. I like my Facinate, works just fine, is faster than my son's droid 2., nice big screen.

[nickjr]

Just wait until you get 2.2, and I think you will change you tune... about 2.1

[gsp10]

No Your wrong you dont know what your talking about the update can only make the phone better. So your wrong very wrong. Did I mention your wrong? Yes I did your wrong.

[M91-30]

really, it can only make it better? lie the lack of screen response people are seeing from the froyo roms? is that better? how about worse battery life that's pretty widespread? is that better?

If you think there won't be angry threads after the update, you should take a look at the droid section of this community. Every single phone model that went through an update had threads "update bricked my phone and I get the old version back? " or something like that.

Both samsung and verizon have had way more than enough time to do the update properly! They should definitely be able to get it right the first time. But in the real world chances are there will be some mistakes. If the mistakes are not major ones then there should not be a problem.

Are you forgetting the update that Sprint pulled a while back that caused problems?  There's no way for them to predict for every with the unlimited number of app combinations available along with data that may be corrupt, etc.

The operating system and software developed by the manufacturer as well as the carrier should be rock solid. When apps come out they are supposed to work properly on a given operating system. When there is a problem there is no reason why it cannot be fixed to work properly and in a timely manner. If an app is causing problems to where the cell does not operate as designed by the manufacturer then the app should be removed until such time that the operating system and the app can live together in harmony.

Minor bugs are to be expected. If there is a major bug like the GPS doesn't work or you can't receive incoming calls and text messages or the Wi-Fi works intermittently then these options designed in the software by the manufacturer absolutely have to be fixed immediately and correctly! When we try to operate a major function of the cell and it is a crap shoot whether or not it will work is unacceptable! Demanding that the cell operates as advertised is not whining it is defending ourselves and getting what the manufacturer promised it would do! That isn't hard to understand is it?
