I'm in Canada and nothing here. Since our Tabs are customized for the carriers here but based on the US version, I suspect we will not see the update for a while. So I decided to give the international firmware a try:

It's working great so far and no issues. It also lacks all the carrier crap apps and bloat.

No issues? Even the camera? I'm tired of waiting and wondering.. I may follow your footsteps. I have the wifi model..

Mine is the 3g model P7500, so I don't know if a firmware for your P7510 is out yet. But yes, no issues so far. This is a genuine stock Samsung firmware v4.0.4 for international models, but it has US language included and works well. I really like the layout and desgn over v3.2. Very nice improvement.

Since the OP ignored the post asking what country he's in and if his Tab is carrier backed or WiFi only, I think we made have had a troll sighting. A legit person would have answered the question and not been so vague to begin with. Just my opinion, hope I'm wrong.

That's possible.
Anywho, I'm quite happy with ICS on my Tab for now. It works nicely and I'd rather have JB, but ICS is quite an improvement for now. I'll wait to see if they will put out JB for us later on. If not, then I may have to go with a CM ROM, but only if they can find the camera drivers.
Here's a screenshot I just took showing the About screen in Settings:

Something else I noticed which is great, the Screenshot capture button can be customized to several options, including camera or even "none" so there is no extra button. Nice.

KIES is garbage software. I never use it. To flash manually, you need to use Odin and put the tab in download mode from recovery. It's not that hard to do as long as you follow the instructions. All the info is here or linked to XDA, with a little searching.

arms reach, if you're still worried, don't be. I updated to ICS (no mod) and camera works fine. I'm lovvin it. I'm guessing you'll find a link somewhere so I won't bother trying to remember where I got mine.
