This article made the most sense to me, it's probably somewhere on here but I had this bookmarked already from before...

What’s the Holdup with Froyo Updates? We’ll explain… | PhoneNews.com

As seen in the other threads I blame Samsung more than the carrier. I say this because NO U.S. carrier has released it yet so what company do they all have in common? If Samsung worked on this earlier we would have had 2.2 before the exploit was found and we'd only be waiting for 2.2.1 instead of not even having Froyo yet which HTC phones have.

Rumor mill says there are a few custom apps that the carriers want to add which is causing conflicts with the OS, but I still blame Samsung because they should be able to fix it on the first try and not the 10th like it seems to be taking. Seriously, how many freakin' leaked version number are floating around out there? Last week it was EA04 or something, is that still the latest even? That doesn't look like they're fixing it efficiently does it? I almost want to say that the SamsungUSA division is to blame more than anyone else since outside of the U.S. they have froyo already. I just don't know for sure if all the updates are made in the same spot or if each country has a development area per country.

Or this from Gizmodo today:


The Problem With Android Updates, Again (Or: Why Samsung Galaxy Phones Are Stuck in the Past?)

If you own a Samsung Galaxy Android device, there's a good chance you're expecting an update to the second-most-recent release of Android, version 2.2, aka Froyo. It has not arrived! A purported insider explains why. Short version: Money.

As commenter The Samsung Secret tells it on XDA developers, there are a few kinds of updates for phones. Namely, critical, maintenance and feature updates. Phonemakers develop and release them, based on a contract they sign with a carrier. Critical updates, resolving a crazy bug are provided to carriers from phonemakers for free; maintenance updates, the routine ones, "have some maintenance fee associated with them"; and finally, according to their account, feature updates, which add new things, "are usually costly."

According to him (or her!), Samsung considers major Android updates to be a feature update, and "requires carriers to pay a per device update fee for each incremental Android update." (Unlike other major Android phonemakers, who this person says do not charge for Android updates. And indeed, we verified with a major Android phonemaker that they don't charge carriers for big Android releases, so this is not routine.) Anyway, according to this person, carriers don't want to pay for these updates. Or as they put it, "all U.S. carriers have decided to refuse to pay for the Android 2.2 update, in hopes that the devaluation of the Galaxy S line will cause Samsung to drop their fees and give the update to the carriers."

It's worth noting the definite facts at hand: Samsung's international Galaxy phones have been updated to 2.2—it's just the US ones that are stuck on 2.1. And Samsung been resoundingly opaque on when the updates are coming.

We've reached out to some carriers, along with Samsung, for some comment on the allegations, but haven't heard anything as of press time. If they have to something to add, we'll update. Whatever the case may be, one thing's certainly true: The update to Android 2.2 hasn't arrived for Samsung phones, even though it has for others, and some vocal portion of Galaxy owners are beginning to get antsy.
