After a lengthy delay, it seems that AT&T is once again releasing the update to the Samsung Captivate Glide. The update should be available tomorrow and will update the phone to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Unfortunately, there will not be an OTA and the update will have to be downloaded from Samsung’s website. It’ll be through Kies, and if you don’t… Read more
The Samsung Captivate Glide on AT&T was a pretty cool phone when it came out. Nice keyboard, speedy, and TouchWiz 4 over Gingerbread was bordering the high end for the time. Now, owners of the Glide can get an update to Ice Cream Sandwich, which I’m sure is appreciated. The update will not be OTA, but will be available in Samsung’s desktop software… Read more

But as you know it’s not uncommon to wait 5 minutes for one of Sammy’s… Read more
At least one Samsung rep is responding to yesterday’s confusion regarding the bump of Sammy’s Galaxy S phones to Android version 2.3.

Samsung has said via Twitter that their Tweet, which was essentially the same thing as the press release, pertains only to devices in the UK.
