Why the F isn't 2.3 available 4 Galaxy since it launched on Samsung Nexus S already?

The Nexus S is built by Samsung.
It's running the same hardware that the Epic 4G does.
The Epic 4G was released FIVE months ago.
The Evo has had 2.2 available for months and even the Shift just launched with 2.2.

PLEASE tell me that Samsung is skipping right over 2.3 and going to 2.3 for the Epic.

If not, this is COMPLETE BULL$HIT.





And, NO, I don't want to flash, root, or customize my phone.
I spend over $100 a month for service and pay retail prices for phones.
My responsibility should end when I swipe my credit card.

what? you didn't read the samsung press release last week saying they were happy with the way the galaxy phones performed and there was no need to update them further and if consumers wanted a newer OS they should look into the newer phones coming out.

I hope that was sarcasm. If not, please point me to that press release. I will use it to get a refund of my Captivate so I can switch to Verizon.

it was sarcasm but then i found this, it affects the tmobile vibrant but you have to wonder if its going on with the other galaxy phones as well.

I just talked to my Samsung rep the other day about an update to Froyo for the Vibrant and sounds like it won't happen until AFTER the new Vibrant comes out around June. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case for all galaxy phones.

you seem to forget carriers play a role in this too... it doesnt matter if samsung is sitting on 10 updates, if carrier doesnt wanna "brand and support it", then the update will never come anyways...

Ok let me clarify so that you understand..

EVO and EVO shift have 2.2..the update we will be getting is 2.2.1 which is NEWER and as far as I know EVO does not have it..YET...

Now as for 2.3..this is where people don't seem to understand...ANDROID IS OPEN SOURCE!

Open source cycles work like this:

Alpha version is released..then nightlys update it..then it goes through Beta, RC1, RC2 and GA..

YOU WILL NEVER SEE GINGERBREAD ON A CONSUMER PHONE UNTIL IT HITS GA!!!

The one that was released on Nexus S is ALPHA quality software and it will receive more and more updates until it reaches GA...

So all the people need to calm down and actually understand the process..not go why arent we getting it just cause its out...Froyo for example, the first device was updated MONTHS after it came out on the Nexus One...even though they were very similar to the N1...

Its not that simple...there are proprietary drivers...don't think you can even load a Nexus S with the same copy thats on the Google servers...it would need modification...same for our devices...its not like getting Gingerbread is impossible.. just requires some modifications..if you've seen CM7 that is based on Gingerbread and running on our device...
