Same here but I'm at work on 3G.

Real test will be this evening when I connect to Kies.

Won't be long now!

Forgive my ignorance but I thought updates got pushed whether it was OTA or via Kies, or does checking through Kies give a significant advantage?

they're the same IMO

Good stuff, same as I thought, Kies won't work on my laptop running Windows 8 Preview anyway so I hope it's the case

No advantage - its just that I prefer to do a download and install via Kies rather than OTA. Just me but I feel safer that way!

Obviously they're waiting till they've sold alot of the 4G versions first

 

[MrMac80]

Well I am sure once they release the 4G version then someone will extract the firmware, I will just flash that until it reaches our phones.

Mmm disappointing - I thought it would be out sooner. Ah well.

October?!!

Who was the person that started Aug 29 rumors. I want his head on the chopping block NOW.

 

[Sdahe]

Oh well.... its a matter of time. Lets wait until October

It was me, that's what I head on GSMarena.com man

I am more dissapointed than you man

 

[Matrix Leader]

That's just speculation, it will ship in October but they said don't expect it to arrive in the first days of October.

With Samsung, I have my doubts they will keep up to any scheduled dates

Well now we know directly from Samsung. So, for us VZW users we can expected a November release.

October...great. Key Lime Pie should be released soon after and we'll have a whole new operating system to complain about not having.

If you always want to be on the latest releases you purchased the wrong phone.

When you purchase a top of the range phone that hasn't been out too long, you expect to get the latest updates.

If this is your thinking you will be disappointed no matter which phone you get. Only the Nexus phones get fast updates. Have followed HTC and now Samsung phones, the Manufactures do not have the same opinion you do about updates.

It was a joke.

This is why you shouldn't believe internet rumors are gospel and should take them with a grain of salt.

I'd bet that that Samsung had no intention of even mentioning the GS3's Jelly Bean update on the August 31st event until the internet rumor started cycling about it. It was clearly their event for the Galaxy Note 2.

Even an October release would be well ahead of most devices to get JB. I'm happy with that.

 

[GSTR21]

Cnet posted today less than an hour ago, that samsung will be rolling out 4.1.1 in October 2012. I am as I'm sure many droid users are, VERY pleased to hear this news!

 

[BynoUK]

"Very soon" is a term to take with a pinch of salt. Said this previously.

I say it when I'm being pestered to do something

I can wait, not like the phone isn't awesome in the meantime, alternatively install one of the many leaks if it's an issue.

I never said straight away, I meant eventually.

If I purchased the S3 I expect to eventually get JB, and maybe KLP too later.
