I'm confused, how does releasing the source code indicate Froyo could be released soon? It's jibberish to me. Laymans terms please!

I think he's insinuating that because they released the code, it's finished and therefore could be released soon.

Well, first of all, it was already pulled.

Second, I don't think it does necessarily mean froyo is imminent. The carriers each still need to "customize" and approve their versions before it gets released.

Yeah apparently it has been pulled

Strange. I'm downloading it right now straight from http://opensource.samsung.com/. It's around 155 MB.

Maybe I'm downloading the source code for Eclair?

Exactly.

There is a pretty consistent trend of when the sources for an upcoming update get released (i.e. UVJI6), the actual update follows soon after. I'm not saying, or even anticipating that Froyo will be here that soon, but it's a good sign that they're getting somewhere and working on it.

I'm with you on this. T-Mobile's customizations are miniscule compared to what Samsung had to do for Froyo, so I'd presume it will begin to go OTA within a month roughly. Even with the recent source code pull, it will be resolved soon.

If you dont know, why are you downloading it? However, i will look forward to see what you DID do to your phone

On that site:

The T959 Source code is 129MB

The i9000 source code is 155MB

Pity Samsung's site isn't the fastest....

Both are eclair based (just checked)
