The Samsung Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich update saga rages on. This time Vodafone’s had to postpone its update by a day because Samsung took its sweet time checking it over. The good news is you should be able to grab it through Samsung Kies tomorrow, but those looking for an over-the-air update will have to wait till Tuesday next week. Read More >>
Apparently the reason you SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S II-wielders haven’t got your tasty Ice Cream Sandwich update yet is because Samsung’s waiting to see what happens with the network operators. If they screw up first it’ll know it has a problem before it releases its own Android 4.0 update. Read More >>

Samsung promised its Ice Cream Sarnie update for the still awesome Galaxy S II this week and it seems it's delivered. Those on Three at least, can grab the update from Samsung Kies and get their Android 4.0 on -- time to repeatedly ram that check for updates button again. Read More >>
