Nothing in Florida either.

Anyone see a Kies update either? I can't find one on Samsungs website.

nothing yet New jersey-Fort lee But still only 9:20am long way to go --Dame Verizon all we really want is a working GPS is that so much to ask.... you now a working phone that u advertised need file _nofr4u

I never thought I would be without Froyo on the first day of spring classes. I will never buy into whispers of a software upgrade being just around the corner ever again.

might mean nothing but on the Verizon web site under the fascinate it still says android 2.1...

Means nothing. Consider US Cellular's SGS... they arent getting froyo til March. I wouldnt be surprised if ours was at least close to that long from now. This update (if it comes today/soon) will *not be froyo*!!!

one more thing, from the front page: "[Samsung] will be announcing a successor to the Galaxy S line this February at Mobile World Congress." Who's taking bets on the SGS getting retired before froyo drops... "Oh you want the latest android version? Time to upgrade!"

I can't even check with phone with all my customization. Blackhole 3 &
and voodoo5 @ 1.2ghz are great and blazing fast, so this supposed update needs to be something special for me to move away from it. But its probably just nofro4u, aka DJ09.

Has anyone considered that maybe this was originally a scheduled update for Jan 10th but was moved to a later date due to some issues.

 

[TheANARCHY]

Sadly it appears the update, when it drops, is not FROYO but FOGOTBOUTYU. You know Samsung has just announced the Galaxy S 2 and , well, no need to update this series of phones. We can all just trade up to the new ones hahahahaha... Right? Right?

Based on the date's added being accurate I do not think this is the case. We should see MR2 hit today, which most likely will not be DJ05 or DL09 nor will it be Froyo. I am thinking this MR will be something between DL09 and Froyo which will allow us to use Samsung Kies. I spoke to Samsung earlier today and was told that Kies will not be usable until an update is launched for our phone, but why else would they just have recently added it to software downloads if they did not intend to provide updates from the program? And seeing how the OTA Froyo is bricking phones I think we will get that via Kies. As for why I think DJ05 and DL09 won't be MR2 is that neither of those work with Kies so it has to be something else that enables the use of that.

What is KIES?

 

[jisley10]

It's a desktop syncing software for your Samsung Device, currently unavailable for the Fascinate.

Check this out. . .
YouTube - Samsung Kies and Galaxy S

Kies is a desktop application that Samsung uses to update phones. You download the update via keys then apply to your phone.

I'm disappointed nothing has been released but not shocked. Glad I didn't bother to flash back to stock.

 

[ChuckG73]

Anyone gotten any update yet of anything on their Fascinate?????????? Way to go another date anothe dissapointment.

 

[FNDomination]

I got this phone in October. Has it ever been updated at all since its release?

goodness... if that happened, they'd lose a bunch of repeat customers

Yeah, that's Samsung's and VZW's new marketing campaign: Upgrade your device, not your software!

There has been one update roughly 3 weeks after release. If you go to settings->About Phone-> Firmware Version, you should see 2.1 update-1
