For those who have the global version of the SGS II, this has just been put up on Engadget:

Edit: And here's an FAQ/Advisory from Samsung:

Upgrade may be via Kies or OTA.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

There is a pretty stable build of 4.0.3 out on XDA forums for the i9000,

But not sure if Samsung will update it to ICS. Yet. They could pull a surprise in a few weeks :)

From what I've heard, the i9000 doesn't have enough ram to comfortably run both ICS and the Samsung UI

Most likely not. However, I doubt it'll take long for deodexed CWM-flashable package to turn up on XDA.

According to an update on the article on Engadget, it looks like it's not coming out on the 10th after all...

Kies just popped up this morning telling me a new upgrade has arrived. Its now 4.0.3 for the gt-19100. Going to take me a while to reorder all my icons. Grrr.

I got the official ICS for my SGII 2 weeks ago after the update the battery life was so bad I wanted to roll back to 2.3.5 but after some advice I did a hard reset / wipe and Battery life is better now than when handset was on 2.3.5

Hi - I've had my NZ Vodafone Galaxy S2 gt-19100 for all of one week. I'd appreciate any quick pointers on how I can upgrade my phone to ICS?

- Kies - is this the 'Kies Air' app that came preinstalled on my phone, or is it PC-based software? If PC-based, can someone point me to a URL for download?

- Can I upgrade over WiFi, or do I need to connect to a PC?

thanks in advance

Would love to, but got higher priorities than getting a new phone. Unless I win lotto this weekend.

Hi - is ICS being rolled out selectively to Vodafone users? When I connect my Vodafone S2 to Kies, it says I am running the latest firmware (Gingerbread), and the 'check for update' function on the phone' says 'no update available.'

Yet other Vodafone S2 users are currently able to upgrade ... ?
