T-mobile Samsung Vibrant Froyo update begins today, T-mobile commits to 3-5 month Android update turn-around
As usual, the update is only rolling out starting today, meaning that it may not immediately be available to you.
T-mobile haven’t stated whether this update will come over-the-air, or arrive via Samsung’s Kies desktop software, but considering that every other Galaxy S variant has required Kies to update, it’s likely that the Vibrant will, too.
Apparently, the update was given to T-mobile back in November, but skinning, testing, and the holiday season meant it hasn’t been ready to release until now.
Further to this, T-Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer, Cole Brodman, told PC Mag yesterday that customers demanding regular updates is a new concept to T-mobile, and that they are “going to have to step up and change the way [they] do things.”
Cole even went so far as to say that T-mobile aims to roll out future Android updates “within 3-5 months after Google makes the OS version public”, which is a great commitment to hear from a carrier.
For those that can’t remember what updates Froyo brings, you can check our post on it here. The biggest update is the JIT compiler, which should give your Vibrant a noticeable bump in speed.
