Actually VZW said they were removing Bing with the update (or maybe said it would be easier to remove) and only the search button would be attached to Bing.

Great upgrade for me. It way faster can actually play gif's with out using the browser or downloading Hancent which I hatted. It can play some videos with in the browser it self. Don't even worry about bing I cause it really doesn't make you use it only with the exception of the capacitive search button. The only thing I miss about the Droid is its solid feel.

Yeah I haven't ever seen Bing on this phone and if you remove the bingsearch apk (not the real name) hitting the search will bring up Google

Bing What Bing?
 
As we know now, there was no Nexus S (or whatever it's called) announcement on 11/08 event, just Continuum. But from all indications, it surely seems to be in the works inside Samsung and is delayed for whatever hardware issue. I think they need to make sure to get out 2.2 to Galaxy S in U.S before releasing Nexus S with 2.3.

well i guess we ll see as bestbuys internals are saying tmobile nexus s on 11/14 and its been photoed in the wild in detail. :eek:

it would only be good for us for it to come out. (even gsm only) a non-tw samsung with similar specs could be a treasure trove of wonders :D
 
So here, in Doha, which is in the middle east/gulf region, it is not out yet. Am I supposed to do anything to Kies to see this update?

It is Nov the 15th here...

It has not rolled out yet, mrtk (we're just joking here about the predicted date of 11 Nov, which has passed).

if you have a samsung fascinate (the vzw i500) we do not use kies to update
 
Been lurking for a couple weeks, thought I'd give something back.

As is known in the other threads, Samsung finished the Froyo update for Korea and it's spreading out for Vodafone customers now. Samsung also posted this nugget on their site.

Nothing earth shattering, but at least you know what Samsung included on their end. I'll see if I can't haunt Sammy's site a little more and find something else.

Very nice first post JGZinv. Welcome to the forum.
 
Sammy's got a download page for the Galaxy (A?) and Galaxy S with
instruction manuals for both. Unfortunately the pdf they put there that lists the new features is an image, not text, so I can't machine translate the thing. If someone has a OCR program that can read Korean, it could be done.
We're probably better off just waiting for folks to finish reviewing the new 2.2 files and give a update on that though.

The other install pdf however, was all text and images. It's 29 pages long and mostly goes over the Kies update process, but I took the liberty of Google translating the text if someone wants a look. The guide is... pretty readable if you're familiar with medium engrish.

those 2.2 updates wouldnt help as much as they are for different versions then ours...besides our cousin mesmorize on us cellular and whatever just launched on cellular south the korean galaxy k is the closest to our phone.

the galaxy k is at this point a unicorn as many have done everything they can to locate someone who has one to get a 2.2 system dump, but to no avail.

if other versions of 2.2 could help us, then the vibrant/captivate leaks or official i-9000 roms would've already :o

i apologize if you were just refering to more material on what the update to 2.2 will entail. in a nutshell (based upon other sgs 2.2 updates) jit, flash, other tweaks, and a half assed attempt to fix gps

Mostly just that. I was hoping for some juicy details in the documents but there's not a great deal in there.

My main concern is that Fascinate users will get this upcoming fix, may or may not see Froyo, and then will be forgotten due to the impending wave of dual core and other phones in the pipeline.

On some level I doubt it since the S has been hugely popular in Samsung's home of Korea, but there is Verizon to think about too.

Just sort of a disclaimer, I don't actually own a Fascinate yet. Looking at hopefully getting one at Best Buy's BF deal coming up.
