Samsung's Finnish website has turned the umlauts up to 11 and confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S is getting its update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread in "mid-April".
The news follows Three's tweet yesterday, confirming that the Galaxy S will be updated on that network "in the next couple of weeks".
It's about time, since we've been on tenterhooks awaiting the update since it was announced by Samsung's Romanian Facebook page, which later back-pedalled on its promise.
You'll need to connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable and use Samsung's Kies software to get the update. You can download Kies from the Samsung Apps website. Some users -- including us -- have struggled to connect Kies while attempting previous updates.
Our fix was to delete large files from the memory card, which were causing the update to fail. As a last resort, try restoring your phone to factory settings. If you have to wipe your whole phone to get the update started, your contacts, apps and emails are likely to be synced to Google's cloud. To save your settings and texts too, we've had good results using MyBackUp Pro.
We're waiting for confirmation from Samsung that 'päivittyy' really means 'update', and that we'll be enjoying the refresh in the UK at the same time as those lucky Finns.
The follow-up to the Galaxy S, the Galaxy S 2, is due to arrive any day now
