UK galaxy s froyo now delayed into November according Samsung UK Mobile (samsungukmobile) on Twitter
How much longer grrrr.

Froyo runs with RegHack ok, but it's running fast with root and lagfix 2.2 from the market.

When will it be release in US? Does anyone know.

US is last along with Canada. After UK Asia is next. They said everyone by the end of Nov but you would be better off betting on Buffalo getting to the Superbowl. I am living in the Philippines. I say by end of next week.

Brother just got a GT-I9000T (Latin American). Any timeline on if or when it will get the update?

The Bell Canada version of this update bricked my phone after a proper install.
No root, or any mods/tweaks... a stock phone.
The Bell rep told me Froyo is causing grief for the majority of Bell Galaxy S
phones.
A reset showed the phone locked into download mode with no active OS.
Bell p!ssed me off so much that I did not bother with a loaner phone and I requested a rollback to 2.1

I'm from Brazil, just updated it using Kies.

GT-I9000B
Firmware version: 2.2
I9000BVJJPD
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 (latin.umts@samsung #1)
Compilation N?: FROYO.VJJPD

I'm still in doubt , can I say I have it???

Samsung (in Brazil) actually released a beta version of Android 2.2, there will be a final version of it.

The only matter of this beta version is the browser, which is slower. It's not the speed to load pages, it's about scrolling a page and zooming it.

It slows in a way that you can see it having little freezes. If you try to go up and down the page (just to test/see it going), what was previously really fast, now it's painful!

This is no good hehe! When the final release comes I'll check this and put the result here.
