Samsung has just released the long awaited Froyo (Android 2.2) update for their Galaxy S users. It is now available to download via Kies, the PC software used for updating. In Samsung’s terms, this update is called JP6. This should eventually become available in more regions.
Ok Galaxy S users, are you ready for some JIT goodies!?
A pretty long list of known issues for the Samsung Fascinate leaked today. Samsung Fascinate is Verizon Wireless’ version of the international Samsung Galaxy S (and called Samsung Captivate at AT&T).

A few days ago a British woman claimed that she was the world’s fastest texter on a Samsung Galaxy S with the Swype keyboard. She spelled “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human” in 25.94 seconds.
In the video above, you can see someone (Gumballtech?) write the same text in under 22 seconds on an iPhone, with a standard QWERTY-keyboard. Can you see the speed of those fingers!?
Samsung announced yesterday announced a Snow White version of their Samsung Galaxy S. The phone has a white back cover, a silver bezel and a black frame around the screen. The previously leaked all white phone didn’t happen, but I think this one looks better.
Maybe we’ll see an international launch for the white color in the near future?

Samsung UK has confirmed that the Galaxy S will get Android 2.2, aka Froyo, in late September. It is the European version that gets updated then. So far no no word on Froyo for Vibrant (T-Mobile USA) or Captivate (AT&T).
