It looks like the road is still continuing on different speculations about Samsung and the OTA updates for it’s Galaxy S line of devices. We reported a story stating Samsung could be holding the update hostage due to sales, however there have been many other speculations over the last few days regarding different variations of what may or may not be actually happening. It is also being stated that Samsung is charging carriers for updates. I would hope for the sake of Samsung that the updates are merely being held up due to software development, however at this time we do not have an official answer. Check out the latest response below to PhoneScoop via Samsung.
“No. Samsung is not charging carriers for Froyo updates to Galaxy S. We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!”
Lets just hope that Samsung is on the ball with this, as well that we hear something soon.

I think regardless of what Samsung does, they will have a tough time convincing people of anything. #froyogate and #neveragain along with class action lawsuits, will have a lasting impact on sales.
We have ocean front property in Arizona. Promise!
And we should believe #samsung why? How honest have they been?
Supporting flagship phones goes a long way. Motorola improved its image by updating its Droid line and they are every bit as bad as Samsung with their mid and low end phones.
I didn’t know my Vibrant was mid end phone..
Their software guys just suck….plain and simple…i mean…rfs..come on…just hire some guys from xda and everyone is happy…samsung can make pretty decent hardware..(across the border of electronic devices).they seriously need better software guys…
You’re a joke of a company!!!! Froyo has been out for months. Get on your fucking game you pieces of shit. My day got ruined today specifically because my phone is lagging and will not work because you cant provide a fucking update!! Fail. You do not care about the consumers who purchase your products, just looking for the next chump to buy into your bull shit garbage.
Which phone do you have and did you go to XDA for help…It worked for my Vibrant. This thing ROCKS

I hope that all of you thinking if getting a new Samsung phone see how Samsung operates, go another direction and their sales Di horrible! Then maybe we’ll finally see a 2.2 update and gps fix!
F@ck you Samsung!
Samsung needs to scrap Froyo and work on getting their devices Gingerbread. It’s possible read Nexus S!
“shortly”? If you believe that, I got some Enron stocks I want to sell you.
Holy cow! Geesh get someone like eugene, or cyanogen on it! It qould be done in less than a dang week!!
Buy HTC best phones best updates period, i learned after owning a samsung moment
Thats weird, becuase I had a Mytouch Slide and well it still doesn’t have an update. And the SenseUI is awful, but thats on another note.
We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!” same old %$#%%##$ give a date and if it is missed say FREE replacement then Samsung is putting their word and actions up front…”HOPE” is just more %$#$%#$….
Samsung is a bad bad company.
