Froyo for the Vibrant is supposed to start pushing out today. Presumably the initial batch will be pretty small. If you get it, sound off here! If you don't have it yet, keep yer trap shut.

Oh, and a reminder that where you live/are has nothing to do with when you get the update.

Got mine this morning through keis mini! Dunno if it's on OTA - and yes - it is KA6 - which is weird because KA7 just leaked out - but what the hell...

What is this keis thing? Keep hearing about it but no one ever explains it. Is it the software that Samsung uses to push the OTA through or something?

Ok so im assuming then that i am doing the process wrong by going through settings>software update to check for the update?
Cause every time I choose the option it keeps saying 'No Firmware"

Do I need to use this Kies thing to do the update?
And is it an app for the device or a program for a computer?

I think going through to phone to search for updates is for OTA updates, and so from what i read its only available through kies at the moment.

To get the update now, you have to use Kies Mini. Its a program for the computer. Search XDA-developers for a direct link to download it. Once downloaded, open it, then on your phone go to setting>applications>usb settings and put ask on connection, you could just put kies but idk, i put ask on connection lol. Then Kies will read your phone, tell you theres an update and you can choose to update or not.
