Verizon will release Android 2.2 for Samsung Continuum on January 17th, 2012
It's about time!
I highly doubt it. 2.2.2 has been made, and sitting on Samsung shelves for 6 months. I'm running a leaked version, now. It has never been pushed because verizon never bought it. There isn't enough demand for them to invest the money. That fact hasn't changed in the last 6 months. They didn't push it then, so why would they push it now?
I'm just curious, so maybe someone who has rooted their phone and installed the 2.2 ROM can give me some insight. What is it about this ROM that has Samsung and Verizon not wanting to release it? Is there some bloatware that has to be removed for it to work? That seems to be the only thing I can see possible. Everything I've read is that it's a pretty stable version. I'm just trying to wrap my head around why they would feel justified screwing us customers like this.
Thanks. I was just curious. Verizon blames Samsung, saying they haven't provided an update, and Samsung blames Verizon, saying they have and that it's in Verizon's hands.It's not that samsung didn't want to release it, or that it was nonfunctional in some way. It was a business decision by verizon. Samsung made the rom, and verizon was going to buy it. But, from what I can tell, at the last minute verizon looked at the sales figures for the continuum, and decided that it wasn't worth the money. So, they didn't buy it. The leaked version of 2.2 I'm on functions perfectly fine (better than 2.1 ever did).

Some of it, I wonder if Google should step in and get more control (it makes them look bad, too). Microsoft and Apple control the updates and those happen in a timely fashion, and are available to all. If Google is going to have rogue companies making these kinds of decisions, it just might drive customers away. I've been seriously considering an iPhone instead, as updates actually happen.
Downloading the official Froyo update as I type this.
Update:
The build is EC09, Firmware 2.2.2, Kernel 2.6.32.9. In case anyone is interested.
Anyone with serious knowledge on rooting and unrooting I need some help. Tried to download the update unsuccessfully however my phone no longer appears to be rooted because i am unable to unroot it using any of the instructions on here and am unable to root it using z4root as well.
what rom were you on when you try to update?
Still on 2.1
Thank you for all your help txwolf
Can I take that to mean you are now on EC09?
