T-Mobile UK Hoping to Begin Android 2.2 Rollout for Samsung Galaxy S Today
T-Mobile UK’s Samsung Galaxy S could be getting some Froyo loving by the end of the day if a message posted to the Samsung support forums is any indication. The reason for the uncertainty, however, seems to be in the delivery method. See, TMoUK wants to deliver the update over-the-air rather than through Samsung’s much-maligned KIES software, but it looks like they might not know if it will actually be successful.
“Our goal is to make the update process smoother and we are working to become the only mobile operator offering FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates for the Samsung product range. The aim was and still is to have the FOTA update available at some point today. If for reasons outwith our control we are unable to have a FOTA update process fully functioning by close of play today, then we will make the update available for download via Samsung KIES tomorrow (Dec 1st).”
It looks like if for whatever reason the OTA update won’t go through, the update will be tossed up on KIES tomorrow. Either way users should be in for a treat over the next day or two. If you are on TMoUK and have the Galaxy S, be sure to drop us a line if you see the update come through!
