Hi, can you confirm that the samsung galaxy S has indeed recieved update? coz in goa i am not getting any update through kies and it shows the message ” unhandled exception” either says to send message to the developers or to Execute anyways.
This is so frustrating, already thinking HTC was miles better atleast they give OTA updates and not like samsung with their crappy Kies which says forever “connecting Phone ” and does not connect

@BK, The galaxy S is one of those things that you don’t know until you experience it, even I was a little skeptical to begin with until I first saw it alive in my hands, A marvelous screen a super fast processor to play the best games at super high fps, a super browser, an awesome phone application, a personalized wallpaper thousands of free awesome apps….boy the list just goes on and on…..Just as I said experience it to believe it……

How many TT readers actually own a galaxy s?
If you could afford a S shouldn’t you have bought a iphone 4g (or a 3gs)?
