I had the same problem!

 

[C.K400]

Mine says 2.3.6 is the up to date version. No ICS to update to on kies for me!! What a tease!!

 

[psufan32]

Nothing yet for me either.

I haven't paid much attention to what changes we can expect with such a heavy skin in TouchWiz. Can anyone layout what we might expect to be different?

 

[TechFitGJ]

Really... the day after I flashed the ShoSTOCK2 ICS ROM... OH well This ones better!

 

[erwaso]

Someone put up the list of changes when found please.

 

[Duality84]

there's still nothing available through Kies for me, I'm still showing that current firmware is 2.3.6

Did they pulled the upgrade? I tried reinstalling Kies on my Windows Machine (Windows 7) and says that the phone is on the latest firmware. And when it try it on my Mac it says Your device is not supported. WTF?

Hold the home key and the power button at the same time.

I was thinking it might work the same as the International Version. Sorry.

It should work the same as the international version. Try holding that combination down for an additional second or 2.

It worked! Thanks

I'm not sure if I can post a link to XDA on here, but a guy on there figured out how to get the official release from AT&T if it's not showing up in Kies. Here is his post: xda-developers - View Single Post - I just got the official ICS Upgrade

It worked for me too. Thanks

I had no issues with the upgrade either. I loaded kies and it said it had an update, so i selected update.

After that, i plugged the phone in and it took a few seconds to load the usb drivers, then the autoplay window in windows 7 asked me what to do with the device. I closed the window.

When i clicked on kies, a new window opened up and said i had a firmware update available. I clicked update and got all of the warning documentation. Agreed to them all and the phone started updating.

As stated by another poster, it took about 15 minutes. After the phone restarted, i could see some lag also, but it looked to me like it was just the system processing the new OS as well as updating some of the Google apps.
I rebooted the phone again and the lag seemed to disappear for me. The phone is also not my primary device, so i do not have a lot of apps installed on it, that could be a reason for the lag disappearing on mine, more open system memory.
