The Samsung SPH-D700 Epic 4G and Samsung i9000 Galaxy S are two different phones with different, though very similar, hardware. the Nexus S is also a different phone with similar but different hardware. What happens to one may or may not effect the other. What Samsung India says may or may not have anything to do with what Samsung USA says. What little we do know is that one is talking about the i9000 and the other is not.

Either way we still have no official confirmation that the Epic will get 2.3, only rummer and speculation, and ultimately this forum is about the Epic. So let's chalk this up as a "definite maybe" and leave it at that, alright?

Man, I used to live to argue on the internet but it seems so stupid watching threads like this...

If a 2.2 or 2.3 update is so damned important that you'd pay the cancellation fee and bail on sprint then why the hell did you buy a phone that didn't have it in the first place?

I must be getting old or something. I'd rather go meet somewhere and have a fist fight than go at it on a forum these days...

That's right.

I really wish Samsung had not branded so many different phones, with so many different national Samsung subsidiaries, with so many different hardware and firmware variants, on so many different networks with so many different carriers or operators, as "Galaxy S." For months this has led to misunderstanding and mythology on several issues, including expectations for Froyo, Gingergread and GPS bugs/fixes.

It may be in Samsung's business interest to promote that brand. But it does not serve to inform consumers well at all when the products and channels are actually different.

While it may be interesting to know what is happening elsewhere, for the Epic 4G roadmap I pay attention primarily to what Samsung's U.S. officials and Sprint officials say. Most everything else is speculation.

Think I've got everything cleaned up....

Not sure how my name got dragged into this whole thing (ok... so I kind of do...) but regardless, let's keep it friendly from here on out.

Remember, we are all Epic users and are all wanting the same thing, that is, a fully functioning phone with the latest and greatest features and software.
