Samsung seems to be favoring Europe for releasing Android updates. After much delay, Samsung UK has finally announced that the
Android 2.2 aka FroYo update for Samsung Galaxy S is now available on its support site. The update is available for all Samsung Galaxy S devices irrespective of their carrier. Galaxy S in Canada has also received the upgrade. However, Samsung UK is still about 2 month behind other European countries in providing the update. Countries such as Norway and Sweden had received the taste of FroYo a couple of weeks earlier.
The new update will bring pinch to zoom functionality on the home screen to one of the best-selling Samsung smartphone. FroYo also comes equipped with a brand spanking new Gmail app and better Exchange support. Apart from this, there will also be a new default keyboard. Well, UK may have been a little behind other European countries in getting the FroYo upgrade, but you can take solace in the fact that Galaxy S in the US are still pining for their share of FroYo.

I’ve had Froyo on my SGS for more than 2 months now, it’s
disappointing that they’ve been so slow to roll it out though.
Gingerbread is partly working on the SGS at the moment so I would
expect that to be available a lot lot earlier than the official
release.
Sorry to tell you guys, but I live in the UK and have had
the upgrade for over a month already. It was automatically updated
through the Samsung Keis application at the beginning of
December.
I personally opted for Darky’s Gingerbread ROM a couple of weeks ago via XDA. It was the simplest thing to update, and breathed new life into my Galaxy S. It’s now super fast, lag-free and has great new apps. Really REALLY pleased.
