T-Mobile and Samsung Offer Froyo Update KA6 to Vibrant Owners via Mini Kies

Galaxy S owners are all eagerly awaiting the Froyo update, and T-Mobile said they would be rolling the update out to their customers. However, a post in the T-Mobile forums indicates that this update won’t be going out over-the-air after all, but instead will be available by download via the Mini Kies tool. At this point, this is the only option for Vibrant owners wanting to update to Froyo, and they’re saying that the update won’t be OTA at any point down the road. That’s not to say that a later update might not be sent out that will include Froyo, but don’t expect to see KA6 being pushed out to your device.

    Galaxy S have had FroYo since October world wide, only a few carriers(most, if not all of the US carriers) that need to add crapware before releasing, haven’t released it to it’s customers yet.

    OTA update on the Galaxy S devices will be supported after the latest 2.2.1 update, that you still need to get through KIES, but is rolling out now world wide(you’ll get it in the US when T-mobile, Sprint and whatever excuses for carriers you got over there have added their crapware, so expect 2-3 months).
