[Update] Ice Cream Sandwich NOT headed to the Samsung Galaxy S II March 10th

Posted by Tony Simons + on March 9, 2012, filed in: News, Phones

Heads up Samsung Galaxy S II owners! Your long wait is almost over and that purchase is about to pay off. Thanks to a heads up from The Verge, we now know Sammy has officially announced the highly anticipated update to Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich for the SGSII. The update will be available beginning March 10th, and you’ll need access to Kies 2.0 to get your ICS fix. You’ve waited this long, but I bet the next 48 hours or so will be the longest of your life.

We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as the update is officially available for the taking.

[UPDATE]

It looks like the joke was on us. According to a report from AndroidPolice, Samsung officially squashed this rumor last night on Twitter, stating that the date announced was an error and there is no set date as of yet. We’ll keep you posted.

Android addict would be the two words I would use to describe myself. It’s the first thing I check in the morning, and the last thing I check before bed. I’m 30 years old, my first Android phone was the G1, shortly after its launch. I have also owned a myTouch 3G, and I have a myTouch 4G, which I am absolutely in love with. Other than Android, I’m a father, brother, college student, and almost-full-time employee at a local brewery/restaurant here in the cornfields of Iowa. If there’s anything you’d like to know, please feel free to hit me up. I’m a pretty nice guy, and I respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by!
