There have been a few conflicting rumours surrounding the status of the Android 2.2 “FroYo” release for the Samsung Galaxy S, with various outlets telling us this week that it’s been put back to October.
But that’s not the case for users who bought their phones through T-Mobile in the UK, at least, with T-Mobile UK this morning confirming Android 2.2 will be ready by the end of September. Here’s what T-Mobile has just said on the matter:
We are pleased to announce that there will be a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S at the end of the month. This will update your phone software to Android 2.2 and will be available through the Samsung Kies PC application
So that’s the end of September. Which is pretty good going, considering Samsung and HTC’s track record in getting these things out. Of course, it’s entirely possible that the announcement person doesn’t have the most up-to-date information from the development people, so… believe it when you see it.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
