I am getting a little confused.
My phone is running
Android v2.1 update 1
I9000XXJF3
The following firmware versions are listed on Samsung Firmwares website:

The reason i would like to upgrade the firmware is the lag - I can live with it, but if there is a solution I would rather not. If I could remove the lag it woulld be the perfect phone.
One thing I am not too keen on, is ending up in a similar situation to my jailbroken iphone - became a pain in the arse everytime a new version of the OS was released.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mark

- Are these official Samsung versions?
- If so, why does Kies not offer to upgrade my phone if there are later versions?
- If not and I upgrade to a later firmware version:
- Which version should I upgrade to?
- Do I need to root the phone?
- What happens if Samsung release later versions - will there be a conflict etc?
- Will it affect any of the apps I currently have?
- Will there be a problem upgrading to v2.2 Froyo?
- If I root the phone:
- What happens if Samsung release later versions - will there be a conflict etc?
- Will it affect any of the apps I currently have?
- Will there be a problem upgrading to v2.2 Froyo?
