That also makes the assumption that HTC won't release 2.2.1 before Samsung does. IMO, Samsung is only interested in pushing new phones and tabs, and not maintenance on their existing product lines. Despite the laziness I call HTC on with their constant recycling aging parts in their phones, they keep pushing out software updates fairly regularly. There's no reason that Samsung couldn't push a radio one month, then froyo the next, then 2.2.1. Show us some love Samsung!

What's Samsung's excuse going to be when they wait 6 or 7 months to push out an update, and it's still crap, the recycled radio with broken GPS that went out to every single carrier or the update that broke the upload speeds, the list goes on--where was testing then? How do you not see where their interests lie? It clear to me however the amounts of different Galaxy S devices floating around right now though and new ones being released regularly...

I'm not saying that the phone is complete crap, but we really need to stop making excuses as to why Samsung hasn't released an update. It really doesn't matter, history hasn't changed very much from all the other failed promises on their other product lines. Most phones are only supported from the carrier about a year before there replaced by whatever comes out next. You should be able to enjoy the device you buy the majority of the time your own it, not the last 5 months before it's replaced with the latest fad and no longer supported. It's December 2010, and still no flash--what does Steve Jobs own some stock in Samsung or something?!
