Just a heads up.. My SG2 did a large update yesterday. Not sure of the benefits but it was well over 200 megs. Make sure your near a wifi when it comes

That's the 4.0 ICS update  :y

Whasssat mean ?

ICS - Ice Cream Sandwich update, with 3.x Google tried to do two different versions of Android. One for tablet, one for phones. But they messed up, ICS is designed to go back to one version for all devices. Hence it's called Ice Cream Sandwich, rather than just Ice Cream.

Thanks Tunnie,I've heard mention of "ice cream sandwich" but thought it was a tasty dessert,do you get the impression that this phone is wasted on me :-[ :-[

All depends on whether your handset is "service provider" branded or not as to when you get the update, Voda were the last in getting  their arse in to gear where the ICS update was concerned.

AFAIK, the original Galxy S will not be seeing ICS at any time whatsoever.
There are unofficial ICS ROM's available that you can flash, but please remember that they are not official so if you find a bug then you are on your own in resolving it.

Up until 2 years ago my attitude was a phone is made for making & receiving calls ONLY.
I couldn't be arsed with SMS (and still can't), but since having a "smartphone" I just kind of "got the bug" and have sat here since thinking of different ways to improve on what is already available (eg, hardware based call recording, removing the SMS limit of 10 recipients, etc).

I doubt very much I would have progressed as far as I have if I had been working in my normal profession, but it gives me something to do while sat on my arse having poison infused in to me on a twice weekly basis.

Trouble is, I didn't get creamed up when I was young. A mobile phone was, errr, a phone that was mobile. Mobile in the loose sense, for those that remember the Ruby TACS based phone. My next was the NEC ETACS based one, which I kept for ages until GSM became usable, when I got the excellent 2110 "brain fryer"
