Its not so simple...see devices are made by each manufacturer in their own way...could you load a Froyo rom on your Epic? sure you can..it just won't boot because it requires drivers and other things to get all the components working..so its not as simple as that unless all the component manufacturers pick up a standard for communicating to that said component.

Re: Galaxy S uprade 2.2

I'm thinking it also has to do with contractual requirements with Sprint or the other carriers. Sprint wants you to use TouchWiz, and doesn't want you to be able to update without it working 100%. That's my thought process.

Angry Re: Galaxy S upgrade 2.2

Here's a puzzling question I cringe to ask...

Why was there an announcement about the Sprint Galaxy S Tab arriving with Froyo on it weeks ago for a release date of 11/14, but no announcement about when the Epic will get 2.2? Sure there was a BROAD announcement saying in November but I have a feeling it was for European based countries and not for the US.

Samsung must have some steel cojones if they release another Galaxy S device with 2.2 pre-installed before patching their existing lineup! Kind of sad for a flagship phone if you ask me...

Re: Galaxy S uprade 2.2

My husband told me the other day that he read somewhere that Samsung is committed to getting 2.2 on all Galaxy S phones on all carriers by the end of November.

Here we go, via Engadget.
