There’s some pretty great news floating about for Samsung Galaxy S owners today, with official confirmation that the phone is indeed scheduled to get an update to the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” version of the OS.
The news comes via hacking forum XDA, which has discovered an official Samsung beta test build of Android 2.3.2 for the Galaxy S on a random Polish forum. It works. They’re installing it now.
Which means unofficial versions of this official release will be out soon – followed by an officially official Samsung update over the coming months. And that’s official.

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.
